CIF condition package cost

Typical CIF condition package combining roof, boiler and windows for a 2FE primary or equivalent academy site.

What the package looks like

Roof: typically £180-300/m² of roof area, including warranty-backed membrane and improved insulation to Spec21[Spec21].
Boiler / heat pump: £85-140k for a 2FE primary moving to ASHP, including buffer tank, distribution and electrical upgrade.
Windows: typically £900-1,400 per window unit, fitted with trickle vents and improved U-value.
Builder's work, scaffolding, statutory fees and abnormals: 12-18% of the above.

Per-project ceiling and outcome scoring

CIF 2026-27[CIF] sets per-project ceilings within the bidding round; outcome scoring favours risk-driven condition components (compartmentation, fire safety, RAAC mitigation), high-impact M&E renewals and energy / carbon improvements aligned with Spec21.

Evidence required

Applications need a recent condition survey aligned with the succession-of-CDC2 standard (private surveys from a chartered firm)[NAO], plus energy data for the heat-decarbonisation case. See CDC2 succession.
