Public & third sector
The public and third sector needs to find ways to decarbonise and achieve sustainability targets in a way that meets your commitments in a cost-effectively way and positively impacts the citizens, tenants, and homeowners you support.
BE-ST aims to be your advocate and navigator. Together we can deliver value for citizens and your organisation.
How we can help the public & third sector.
-
We can collaborate on multi-partnered, scalable and impactful bids or projects with support from our Impact and Stakeholder Engagement teams.
-
Our team have extensive experience working with public and third sector organisations to understand more about the net zero construction landscape and how to take the first steps.
-
We’re a connector between Government and industry, with insights into needs, challenges and opportunities from across the built environment ecosystem.
-
Our Gen Zero, Edinburgh Home Demonstrator and Near Home projects are examples of how we help can build better smarter places together.
-
As well as connecting you to top tier Scottish academia across the country, BE-ST has the capacity to conduct, coordinate, or produce reports or research through our manufacturing facilities and university partners.
Here’s what public and third sector organisations say about BE-ST:
“We’ve partnered with BE-ST on major national programmes throughout its history. The Transforming Construction challenge sought to shift the construction sector to deliver value over cheapness and standardise processes as part of the UK Industrial Strategy. Now, we deliver the Net Zero Heat programme at Innovate UK: an even bigger challenge for decarbonisation of the built environment. BE-ST has been a critical partner in both, joining up the landscape and delivering as part of flagship consortia. Without BE-ST we simply wouldn’t have been able to connect as deeply with the ecosystem in Scotland”
“The reason that timber was selected initially was because we felt like it was under researched but this [BE-ST timber facilities] is all fantastic and that [lack of research] is not the case, which is ideal. We’ve had so much support on the project”
