Featherbank School
A roofing and window works contract won by ADC, bringing together two important elements of the school’s building fabric.

Greater possibilities.
Built for Better connects the people who improve buildings, the people who develop skills and the technology that supports them both.

I-SIP’S DELIVERY TRACK RECORD · 2023–2026
Support that helps
people move forward.
Our construction Skills Bootcamps experience informs the learning and support we are bringing to the developing Built for Better Academy.
92%
Programme success
Approximately 92% of learners achieved all three DfE milestones across our construction Skills Bootcamps programme, 2023–2026.
Positive destinations
Progression into employment, further learning, or industry-recognised qualifications and certifications.
Different backgrounds. A shared opportunity.
We welcome people from different backgrounds and work with learners to understand their goals and the barriers they face.
Programme success combines Wave 1 and its Wave 2 contract extension, weighted by starters. The percentage is approximate because the Wave 1 rate was rounded. These are I-SIP’s historic programme results, not outcomes from the developing academy or guarantees for future learners.
OFSTED MONITORING VISIT · 16–17 OCTOBER 2025

More value
from every place.
Our property work is the foundation for a wider ambition: improve existing buildings while creating opportunities for local people.
West Yorkshire is the first planned Built for Better Academy demonstrator. It brings the group’s construction, learning and employer connections around one real project in West Yorkshire.
THE CONNECTED MODEL
A better building.
A stronger workforce.
A wider benefit.
ADC brings the site and delivery experience. I-SIP supports the learner journey. Built for Better connects the partners, property and purpose. Our software helps teams organise the work and record progress.
West Yorkshire’s development and academy arrangements are being progressed. Delivery dates and accredited routes will be confirmed as plans are agreed.
04 / PRACTICAL TECHNOLOGY
BidMate AI
& group software
Our technology work grows out of real operational needs: understanding a job, organising delivery, communicating clearly and recording what happened.
BidMate AI and RoboGary sit alongside tools being developed for pricing and tenders, project control, health and safety, and learning. We use our own delivery experience to shape and test them.
