How often
Specialist Surveyors from the Maintenance Consultancy undertake surveys within a 4-yearly cycle.
Grading
Each element is graded according to two criteria: its estimated life remaining and condition.
Life remaining
Priority 1 - Up to 12 months
Urgent work that will prevent immediate closure of premises and/or address an immediate high risk to the health and safety of occupants and/or remedy a serious breach of legislation.
Priority 2 - 12-24 months
Essential work required within two years that will prevent serious deterioration of the fabric or services and/or address a medium risk to the health and safety of occupants and/or remedy a less serious breach of legislation.
Priority 3 - 25-60 months
Desirable work required within three to five years that will prevent deterioration of the fabric or services and/or address a low risk to the health and safety of occupants and/or remedy a minor breach of legislation.
Priority 4 - Not expected to need replacement within 60 months
Long term work required outside the five year planning period that will prevent deterioration of the fabric or services.
Condition
- A - Good : Performing as intended and operating efficiently
- B - Satisfactory : Performing as intended but exhibiting minor deterioration
- C - Poor : Exhibiting major defects and/or not operating as intended
- D - Urgent : Life expired and/or serious risk of imminent failure
These rank from Priority 1, condition grade D (P1D) to P1C, P1B, P1A, then Priority P2D, P2C, and so on.
Further feedback
We welcome updates to AMP information outside of the 4 yearly re-survey cycle. Schools disagreeing with grading should discuss this with the Development Officer at the earliest opportunity. The Strategy and Performance Team will review all relevant information and, amend the AMP data where appropriate. This could be when an element has experienced accelerated deterioration or damage.
