Services

Health, safety and wellbeing is our top priority. We go beyond compliance to ensure our employees, supply chain and local communities are not just protected from harm whilst at work but are also supported in their private lives to promote mental and physical wellness.

Safety is a key consideration in all of our Design and Construction activity. Safety is led by our experienced project teams supported by our in-house H&S Manager and the UK’s largest construction safety consultancy, The Building Safety Group.

Within our ISO 9001 Quality Management System, we have developed bespoke standard operating procedures that are sufficiently flexible to allow pragmatic implementation whilst providing a structured framework for delivery that assures consistency of outcomes.

The culture, expertise, ability and experience of our teams and the supply chains we engage with are focussed on exemplar customer service. We achieve this through the application of best practice and innovative solutions to deliver defect free projects, quality assured products that transition seamlessly into operation.

The three pillars of sustainability – People, Planet, Prosperity – are at the heart of everything we do. Across all aspects of our business, we continually seek ways to increase positive contributions and reduce negative impacts with a belief that small changes can make big differences.

Read have set an ambitious carbon target and are currently implementing our carbon reduction plan that will achieve Net Zero by 2030 on direct emissions. As carbon leaders, we are helping clients and supply chain partners to address their whole life carbon impacts.

Since delivering our first CE Wales Exemplar BIM Pilot project in 2015, Read have continued to promote BIM benefits through integrated working and efficiency enhancements. Read are ISO19650 accredited and see BIM L2 as our standard offering to clients.

Our 2022 Construction Excellence Wales award for Digital Construction reflected the focus we have on ‘de-blinging’ digitisation within the construction sector and returning to the all important ‘I’ in BIM – Information. Through simplified processes, capture of digital asset management information within the Asset Information Models provides ongoing efficiencies for our clients.

As a regional SME business, we understand the importance of maximising local reinvestment through the projects we delivery and the communities in which we work. We have a business wide programme of social, economic, environmental and cultural community benefits that leave lasting legacy value through our engagements.

As with all of our business undertakings we seek opportunities for repeat relationships, working with charities, community initiatives, disadvantaged groups and upskilling bodies to deliver meaningful interventions that support tangible outputs and tackle local issues.

Frameworks are an important aspect of our business and we seek out positions on established frameworks that promote collaboration and efficient procurement. As such, Read are active members on a wealth of regional frameworks, and contribute to their marketing and Special Interest Group activity.
