Our approach

OUR APPROACH

Small enough to care, big enough to deliver.

Great spaces help schools thrive. So every project starts with listening and ends with a handover we’re proud of.

THOUGHTFUL DESIGN

“Seek to understand before being understood.”

Every education estate is different. A Victorian primary school isn’t a new-build academy. We learn how your spaces, budget and people work before we design anything.

'THOUGHTFUL DESIGN'
Designed around your school, not a template.

EXPERT PROJECT DELIVERY

“More bang for your buck.”

From first plans to final handover, our own project managers and fitters work around your term dates, not the other way round.

Expert project delivery
Built around your term dates, not ours.

THE PROCESS

From the first conversation to the final handover.

CONSULT

We visit, listen to your brief and measure up. We turn your photos, measurements and ideas into a detailed plan, designed around how your school works.

Working with Four Square is a real partnership. Four Square staff really do listen and have immense patience to work and then re-work a scheme many times over until the ‘look’ (and budget) is achieved.

Four Square had exactly what we were looking for. These dining tables and benches look amazing the colour brightens up our dining hall, the smooth finish on the tables makes it very easy to wipe down

Four Square worked closely with us to refurbish our Atrium and Headmaster’s suite, which included a meeting room, kitchenette and office as well as re-decorating the entire area, laying new flooring and installing a bespoke reception desk. We are really pleased with our new-look Atrium – it’s modern and bright and creates a welcoming reception area that reflects our school vision and ethos.

Our school has been ordering from Four Square for many years to supply several different types of furniture/products for our school. Their products are a high level of quality and very good value for money. More importantly, the level of service that we receive from Stella Doouss is outstanding. Stella has a great knowledge of Four Square products; she is always so helpful and goes out of her way to find exactly what we need.

Efficient and courteous service from ordering to installation. All members of staff have been highly professional and reliable. It is always a pleasure to do business with Four Square.

It was a painless experience and Four Square worked with us to get the area in play quickly… set up was complete in nearly a week, which was impressive considering the size of the project.

Four Square came in and the power of their business was listening. When I was first looking at furniture I had no idea of the enormity of the task… Four Square always suggested ways to improve things and the various options available within different budget ranges. I would absolutely recommend Four Square for any project.
