RAAC in Public Buildings: Trusted Support for Schools, Colleges and Healthcare Estates

  • February 2026


With renewed Government focus on resolving Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) risks across the public estate, many responsible bodies are rightly accelerating surveys, assurance activity and remediation planning, particularly across schools, FE/HE campuses and healthcare facilities.

Cliftons Projects RAAC

At Cliftons Projects we have extensive, hands-on experience supporting RAAC programmes through our work with a UK University and an NHS Foundation Trust. We understand the pressures of maintaining safe, operational buildings while moving at pace and the importance of clear governance, robust evidence trails, and pragmatic delivery.

How we can help

We typically support Clients from “unknowns” through to delivery, including:

RAAC strategy and mobilisation – setting up governance, reporting, decision pathways and an auditable action plan.

Surveys and investigations – briefing and appointing structural engineers, coordinating intrusive surveys, and managing access in live environments.

Risk management and interim measures – helping teams prioritise areas, coordinate propping/monitoring where required, and keep stakeholders aligned.

Options, costs and programmes – producing order-of-magnitude budgets, programme scenarios and procurement routes to suit urgency and constraints.

Tendering and delivery – managing competitive tender processes, contractor appointment, site delivery, change control and cost reporting through to close-out.

As a responsive SME, we’re able to integrate quickly into existing estates teams, bring clarity to complex workstreams, and provide calm, structured leadership from feasibility through to handover. You can read more about our approach and core services on cliftons-projects.com.
