Design and Build

Many reasons will influence a customer’s decision to select a Design and Build option for their project, including price, timescales, buildability or a combination of these and other factors.

Customers who choose this approach benefit from Beard’s involvement at an early stage of project development where we can advise on materials, ‘buildability’ and other construction issues, which in turn can lead to significant time and cost savings.

The choice of Design and Build will allow Beard to work closely with its chosen design partners and manage the project and risk to both timescales and budgets.

A good example of a Design and Build project is the recently completed Bath Post Office. This listed building and neighbouring properties were remodelled and refurbished to create eight high quality retail units, a modern Post Office, a new home for the Bath Postal Museum and modern apartments.

Working within the confines of a tight site, a busy city centre and a listed building, Beard and its professional design team managed and delivered the project to the customers exacting requirements.
