Local context behind the specification
Worthing briefs in the schools sector usually come from site manager, business manager or MAT estates leads working across Ferring, East Worthing, Broadwater. Regency and early-Victorian seafront terraces along Marine Parade, inter-war semis in Broadwater and Goring, plus modern apartments at Bayside and Splashpoint. That mix shapes the substrate — plaster ages, joinery styles and access windows all differ between a sixth-form college on a busy trading street and one tucked into a side road. Regenerating coastal town with a maturing creative-tech cluster (Platf9rm, Colonnade House) alongside long-established insurance and financial-services employers.
