INFORMATION

PILLAR CONSULTANCY

Pillar Consultancy is a central development group offering research, development and design services predominantly to the Property Department's of Local Authorities.

HISTORY

Pillar Consultancy was inaugurated in 1989 and is the successor organisation to SCOLA (the Second Consortium of Local Authorities). It now administers the SCOLA steel frame and component arrangements. Since 1961 approximately 2,000 projects have been constructed using the SCOLA steel frame and many more projects have benefited from the use of component supply arrangements.

PUBLIC SECTOR CHALLENGE

Pillar Consultancy was created in response to a demand for an independent body, within the public sector, with specialist knowledge of property and building issues. The Consultancy accepted the challenge of the 1990s, to innovate in the face of great change. It offers an exciting and unique opportunity to supplement in-house skills in a situation where it is difficult to manage more efficiently, give value for money and remain publicly accountable.

PILLAR CONSULTANCY CAN HELP

Pillar Consultancy can assist Local Authority Property Departments in the following ways:

COMMISSIONS, where services are tailored to the requirements of a single client on a specific topic. Or the Consultancy may, through its wide range of clients, be able to organise shared funding, thus giving very good value for money and enabling joint enterprises to go ahead that could not be justified by one organisation.

PILLAR CONSULTANCY draws on the expertise of a range of specialists in addition to the core team, and acts as a facilitator for the exchange of information by means of user groups, workshops and conferences and through a network of professional and academic contacts who can be called upon on individual subjects.
