Independent Estates Consultancy for Education, Healthcare & the Public Sector
Independent estates consultancy that becomes part of your team
AltMarkt helps schools, academy trusts, healthcare organisations and public sector bodies make informed property decisions through independent advice that brings together estate strategy, building surveying, architectural design and project delivery.
AltMarkt Services Ltd is a RICS Regulated Firm with over 18 years’ experience supporting schools, academy trusts, healthcare organisations and public sector clients through independent estates consultancy, building surveying, architectural design and project delivery.
Estate Decisions Need Joined-Up Thinking
Organisations managing schools, healthcare facilities and public sector estates rarely face a single property issue in isolation. Decisions about building condition, available funding, statutory responsibilities, operational requirements and long-term estate planning all influence one another.
AltMarkt provides independent estates consultancy that connects strategic planning with technical expertise. Rather than treating each project as a standalone commission, we help clients understand how individual decisions support the long-term performance, resilience and value of their estate.
Our role is to help clients understand the estate they have, identify the opportunities available and make informed property decisions that support wider organisational objectives.
Independent Estates Consultancy Across Education, Healthcare and the Public Sector

Common Estate Challenges
Competing estate priorities
When every building needs investment, knowing where to start can be difficult. We help organisations prioritise the work that will have the greatest impact on risk, operational performance and long-term value.
Making the case for investment
Whether preparing for future funding opportunities or planning internal investment, we help clients build a clear evidence base that supports informed decision-making.
Managing estate risk
Ageing buildings, statutory responsibilities and limited budgets create difficult decisions. We help organisations understand where risk exists and how to respond in a planned and proportionate way.
Making existing buildings work harder
Most organisations need to improve the buildings they already have rather than replace them. We help plan maintenance, refurbishment and adaptation that supports long-term estate performance.
Balancing sustainability with practical investment
Decarbonisation works best when it supports wider estate priorities rather than competing with them. We help clients identify practical improvements that deliver long-term value.
Delivering projects with confidence
Once investment decisions have been made, we provide independent oversight that helps projects progress with clarity, accountability and purpose.
Core Services
Every organisation’s estate is different, but the challenge is often the same: making informed decisions about existing buildings, future investment and long-term performance. Our services provide the strategic advice, technical expertise and practical delivery support needed at each stage.

Helping Clients Make Informed Property Decisions
Property decisions are rarely straightforward. Building condition, available funding, operational requirements and long-term estate planning all need to be considered together if investment is to deliver lasting value.
Organisations often face competing priorities. Urgent maintenance, limited budgets, changing operational needs and future investment all demand attention at the same time. Without a clear understanding of the wider estate, it can be difficult to decide where effort and investment should be focused first.
By becoming an extension of the client team, AltMarkt provides the capacity, independent expertise and practical support needed to help organisations understand their estates, make informed decisions and successfully deliver change.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
What It’s Like To Work With AltMarkt
“We have worked with AltMarkt Services across a range of projects, including CIF bid applications and longer-term estate planning. Their support has covered project management, contract administration, and inspection of works, and throughout this they have provided a consistently professional and reliable service. Communication has been clear and timely, and any issues that arose were addressed quickly and effectively. With their support, we successfully secured four CIF bids across two school sites, resulting in meaningful upgrades to the facilities for both staff and pupils. The projects were delivered smoothly, and the overall process was well managed from start to finish. We would happily recommend AltMarkt Services to any other Schools, Trusts, or businesses looking for professional, dependable support.”
