Focused on efficiency, supporting skills and craftsmanship with streamlined processes and technology

Beard embraces a culture of continuous improvement.  We actively seek customer feedback because it enables us to optimise our already efficient project management processes. 

Efficiency is critical to the success of every project, so we support our management processes with significant investment in IT. Every site has a broadband link to the company intranet and the management information system we use to drive progress throughout the company. This immediate access to data and information prevents costly delays when decisions have to be made on site.

The company operates continuous quality management. We inspect the quality of all work at every stage of the building process.

Beard has BS EN ISO 9001:2000 quality assurance accreditation.

Our commitment to quality means:

  • Always striving to meet the aspirations of our customers and employees
  • Continuously improving the efficiency of our management systems and processes
  • Implementing best practice throughout the business
  • Monitoring our performance against industry KPIs
  • Listening to our customers and acting on their feedback
  • Monitoring and supporting the performance of our sub-contractors and suppliers 
  • Investing in our people, by recruiting and developing high calibre employees and supporting continuous professional development
  • Ensuring good communications with our customers, consultants and employees
  • Delivering a quality product by ensuring good communication, teamwork, management processes, workmanship, materials and customer care

 

“This was a complex and challenging building, both to design and build, and we are very pleased with the final quality of the work and the contribution Beard made to this project.”
