CIF BIDS FOR FUNDING

CLArchitects, in collaboration with Lockwood Building Projects, are specialists in CIF (Condition Improvement Fund) bids, and we are here to help you secure funding for your school or academy project.

​

With rising qualifying thresholds and a high level of competition for available funds, securing funding through CIF can be a complex and challenging process.

​

That’s where our experience and expertise will be vital in completing the successful bid. Our team of experienced CIF bid specialists has a proven track record of success in securing funding for a wide range of school and academy projects. We have a deep understanding of the CIF application process and we know what it takes to develop a winning bid.

​

Whether you are looking to fund a new classroom block, upgrade your school’s heating and ventilation systems, change the roof coverings, or improve accessibility for students with disabilities, we can help. We will work closely with you and your team to understand your goals, assess your eligibility for CIF funding and develop a comprehensive bid that maximises your success in securing funding.

​

Following our initial consultation for school’s building improvements, we will prepare a detailed report  of the necessary actions, planned maintenance or replacement projects needed to resolve any breaches to current building regulations, health and safety aspects or areas that have reached the end of their expected lifespan. Our CIF bids are comprehensive and accompanied by a detailed supporting costing of any proposed works. We will also advise you if planning permission or Building Control involvement are required for the works.

​

At every stage of the process, we will provide expert guidance and support to help you navigate the complexities of CIF bidding.
