The firm’s area of particular expertise is heavy refurbishment projects and, with its workshop located at the junction of the M25 and the M11, it is ideally situated for construction projects in Central London and the Home Counties. Becro came from humble beginnings, starting life in 1972 as a sheet metal and ductwork company – a joint venture, launched by Mr Bechtel and Mr Robinson, from a workshop in Watham Ab- bey. Quickly acquiring a solid reputation for quality craftsmanship and good customer service, the firm naturally evolved to provide the fabrication of gantries and large primary and secondary steelwork, as well as providing access and support to plant and equipment, in the late nineties and at the turn of the Millennium. It was at this point that the ever-expanding Becro upped sticks and moved to its North Weald Airfield-location, near Epping, where it remains to this day. This increase in workshop space, as well as yard space, has allowed the firm to store more steelwork and fabricate even larger elements, so clients can always rest assured that all the steelwork required for a project can be not only fabricated, but stored and loaded, from a safe and central point on-site. With Becro’s expansion, comes the addition of a new arm of the company - Bechtel Structures. Bechtel was been set up to cater to the demand of project management and design management that the modern-day construction industry relies upon. Within any project, communication is the key ingredient for suc- cess and Bechtel Structures places a huge emphasis on smooth and constant communication between all parties, whether it is internally within the Group, or externally with clients and other suppliers. This ensures that Becro projects run smoothly and hitch-free, from start through to finish. Bechtel employs the latest software to provide the ability to accurately plan and programme projects, including tracking all changes and effects they may have. This allows any hitches to be smoothed out immediately and acts as an early-warning signal to accurately and efficiently mitigate any issues.
