We provided quantity surveying services for the new vocational centre at Vera School, a special needs facility for learners with autism spectrum disorder in Rondebosch East. Built on a limited budget funded through the national lottery, the project delivered eight classrooms across two floors in a compact, square footprint designed to make the most of every rand spent on construction.
Our role centred on cost planning and budget management, helping the client stretch limited funding into a flexible, light filled facility. Classrooms open onto a central foyer and can be enlarged via retractable sliding screens for larger group activities, while floor to ceiling glazing and a sculptural skylight bring natural light throughout, proof that careful cost control doesn’t have to come at the expense of good design.
