How can consolidating school construction provide cost savings for Albertans?
Consolidating school construction can provide cost saving through economies of scale. The cost of building one school at a time is higher than the cost of building 18 schools at once. There are design cost savings by using a standard core school design, and there are savings when using contractors to manage workforce availability over a number of construction sites. There is also the cost savings of providing a large number of schools in three years, rather than waiting over a longer period of time.
