Work Ethic. Attitude. Challenging the status quo.
The founding principle of the company was to develop a business that would bring a fresh and innovative approach to the building services industry.
In-house team
We place a large emphasis on internal delivery rather than subcontracting. We have an in-house team of plant movement operatives, BIM/CAD operatives and a fleet of delivery lorries along with our engineering and prefab capabilities.
Quality
Growth is driven by the capability of the people within the business and the quality of projects/clients available – not based on turnover targets.
Engineering
GBE places a heavy emphasis on engineering – Continual professional development of our people is strongly supported. The business runs it’s own engineering development programme which trains and upskills graduate and trainee engineers.
An open and honest culture. Expectation of excellence driven from the top down.
GBE has a health and safety culture with an expectation of excellence driven throughout the business from the top down. This is reflected in our health and safety performance record.
2019 – Over 200,000 hours worked no reportable or lost time injuries.
5 Years without a reportable accident was achieved in 2019 –Total hrs in excess of 600,000.
Extensive use of offsite fabrication significantly reduces working hours in high risk areas.
Our prefabrication model significantly reduces carbon footprint.
Consolidation of our deliveries removes 600 deliveries per year from London roads. Bulk trading agreements with our primary suppliers further reduce material deliveries.
GBE has a specific emphasis on lean design, Reducing waste in overdesigned schemes.
- Oversized Heating / Cooling Plant
- Valving arrangements causing inefficient pumping
- Lighting designs – Excessive quantities
- Space saving – Plant areas can be excessive for required plant
- Inefficient or poor BMS operations causing excessive energy usage
