We end the year reflecting on many achievements across our regions & the whole of Beard, all made possible by one thing – our people. This little reel is a lovely showcase of our community spirit & people going above & beyond, giving their own time to support charities close to their hearts. 🫶 Raising more than £50,000 this year for charities, which includes match funding or top up donations from the Beard Charitable Foundation. Our Chairman, Mark Beard said: “I am exceptionally proud of all Beard colleagues & our partners & for the significant efforts they have put into helping charities & good causes this year, giving their own time & resource & taking on some impressive challenges. As a company, we’re committed to supporting the communities in which we work & in many cases, the funds raised by our team have been match-funded by the Beard Charitable Foundation, which was designed to champion initiatives driven by our people, as well as local construction education projects.” Read more here https://lnkd.in/e-Ps3psN #beardconstruction #buildwithambition

We're in the final stages of construction turning a council-owned disused garage plot in Bristol into affordable housing, using the innovative Gap House concept. Our Bristol Director Matt Cooper said: "The Gap House design is a thoughtful way to bring back to life disused urban spaces, & could contribute to addressing the housing crisis & improving local communities. Over Beard's 135-year history, we've been involved in many residential projects, but none quite like this. Working with factory-made panels & within the limits of a small site has presented challenges that the team has embraced. It's been exciting to apply the innovative new methods to create sustainable, contemporary & affordable homes in the city."

We strive for excellence by championing initiatives that enhance how we manage our sites. In an ever-changing industry where digital capturing is paramount, tools like Fieldview put us in the best possible position to meet the standards we set. To achieve our high standards, we ask our supply chain to join us on our digital journey. Take a look at this useful case study we've produced in collaboration with our friends at Trimble Viewpoint UK&I ⬇️ Thanks to Bojen Electrical, Ron Construction & colleagues for taking part. #beardconstruction #buildwithambition Matthew Hill | Kirsty Lever | Chris Godfrey | Luke Goldsworthy
Beard is one of the most recognisable construction businesses in the UK. They’re also champions of digital-first and are keen to make sure their supply chain uses digital tools as much as possible. Recently, we caught up with them on a primary school refurbishment to discuss with Beard and its specialist contractors how they’re using Field View on the project and the benefits they’ve all seen from it.
