Many of our clients today face increasing pressure to deliver projects that go beyond quality construction alone. From achieving net zero and meeting complex sustainability targets, to driving genuine social value in local communities and keeping costs under control, the landscape is more demanding than ever.

[H3] What’s blocking nature from our built environment?

We know the state nature is in. And we know what works. So why don’t we see more nature in our built environment?

[H3] Building careers in construction through many pathways

Construction has always been an industry where potential becomes visible through experience. When people are given responsibility and exposed to real challenges, you begin to see what they can achieve. That is something I have had the privilege of witnessing many times through the teams I have worked with at BAM.

[H3] Unsurprising Spring Statement but Middle East volatility makes energy independence non-negotiable

The Chancellor’s Spring Statement landed at a moment of acute uncertainty. Global instability, rising inflationary pressures and renewed volatility in energy markets are once again exposing the UK to external shocks. Ongoing volatility in global energy markets could place further upward pressure on energy prices, a reminder that the cost-of-living crisis is not yet behind us but evolving.

[H3] Building My Future While Building Scotland’s Infrastructure

When I finished school, I knew I wanted to study a degree, but I wasn’t sure the traditional university route was the right path for me. I’d already juggled school and part-time work, and the two never felt connected. I wanted a route where learning, earning, and professional development moved forward together.

[H3] Building with Nature: Why BAM’s partnership with the Eden Project marks a step change for construction

When I think back to my childhood, some of my happiest memories are of wandering through the countryside, surrounded by butterflies and ladybirds, completely fascinated by the life all around me.

The education spaces of the future need to be truly inclusive, accessible, sustainable, safe and straightforward to maintain. They also need to demonstrate real value for money throughout their life cycle.That’s as true for local schools and colleges, as it is for our world-class universities across the UK and Ireland.Education – at its best – helps young people reach their potential. But as a society, we face the on-going challenge of creating and maintaining environments that not only support learning and encourage a culture of exploration and innovation, but also nurture student wellbeing and contribute to community life. Creating a lasting legacy for the next generation. Achieving this relies on collaboration and a deep understanding of each community’s needs. BAM builds long-term partnerships with clients to make this possible. Our relationships are based on shared ambitions and a deep commitment to continuous improvement.

Much of the schools’ estate is ageing and no longer fit for purpose. While universities and colleges across the UK and Ireland are having to reimagine the shape of further and higher education.BAM’s approach recognises that learning environments have their own unique challenges:It all starts with design. Every space needs to perform from day one. And it has to be adaptable for the decades to come. BAM’s data-led digital design systems and expertise in sustainable design transform ideas into practical realityModern approaches and construction methods – including digital construction techniques and modular, off-site construction – bring precision to every project. They’re the key to delivering smart, efficient environments that are low carbon, affordable and straightforward to maintain, and ready to evolve as educational needs changeBAM can also deliver deep expertise in the essential mechanical and electrical services that bring every education building to life, from heating and lighting to ventilation, air-conditioning and specialist systems such as audio-visual or security installationsIn the university sector, cutting-edge research demands cutting-edge facilities: whether it’s state-of-the-art labs, clean rooms and equipment suites or interactive spaces for emerging technologies. Our expertise delivers world-class laboratories and research spaces that meet the most demanding specificationsMany of our projects use energy efficient technologies and features like flexible floor plates and spaces, which can be adapted to meet the evolving needs of students and staff and changes in the teaching methods and the curriculum.We’ve built, refurbished and extended many schools, colleges and university buildings in the past decades. So we understand the unique challenges of working in live environments, in close proximity to children and young peopleAnd through our facilities management services, we provide all the support and maintenance activities needed to operate smoothly, responsively and cost-effectively throughout the building lifecycle

“We don’t just build a school and move on; we take the long view. So we stay involved, supporting maintenance, extensions and upgrades that ensure our buildings continue to serve their communities long into the future.”

“Universities in the UK and Ireland showcase what’s best in our economies: innovation, wellbeing and a constant drive to learn and expand the boundaries of knowledge. Our approach is totally in step with this ethos. That’s why BAM has been able to successfully deliver some of the most iconic university buildings in recent times: buildings that don’t just look incredible but also work brilliantly for the students and academics that use them.”

The shift to a low-carbon future depends on reliable, intelligent networks and infrastructure to connect renewable generation to homes and businesses safely, cost-effectively, efficiently and sustainably.Across the UK and Ireland, that transformation is happening right now. Distributed renewable energy in particular is delivering a fundamental change to the way we generate, distribute and consume energy. In the current geopolitical climate, national energy security and availability has never been more important.We’re helping to shape this transition. Working with major generation and network operators and long-term joint-venture partners, we deliver the crucial infrastructure that keeps the lights on and the economy moving.

From new renewable generation assets to transmission and distribution networks, our expert teams combine deep technical knowledge with digital innovation and sustainability leadership to create infrastructure solutions that are ready for the challenges of tomorrow.BAM’s role in delivering low-carbon infrastructure is expanding fast, to align with the UK Government’s £725bn Infrastructure Strategy – which champions long-term investment in clean energy, workforce development and resilience – as well as Ireland’s target of 80% renewable electricity by 2030.We’re driving the decarbonisation of the grid. By integrating renewables, enabling interconnectors and upgrading transmission and distribution systems, we’re helping to create a cleaner, more nature-friendly and adaptable energy landscape.And social value sits at the heart of our energy work. Often, our projects are in remote areas where job options are limited and it can be hard to attract inward investment.By supporting and funding local skills, apprenticeships and community initiatives wherever we operate, we’re making sure that the transition to net zero brings opportunities for people as well as for power.

“One of the biggest challenges to enabling the flow of clean energy across the UK and Ireland is a shortage of specialist skills. We’re investing in the people needed to deliver a stronger, greener grid: creating meaningful employment, skills and training opportunities.”
