Although every effort is made to return or reuse pallets on our construction sites, almost all material deliveries rely on them, so they can often build up on sites. At our Materials Innovation Factory project at the University of Liverpool, the team decided to upcycle them into furniture!

Do you live or work near a construction site? With over 60 sites up and down the country, it may even be one of ours. At BAM, many of our projects last many months – or even years – so we are committed to being a good neighbour.

This year's theme for World Environment Day was ‘Go Wild for Life’, which focussed on wildlife crime and endangered species. While we don’t have any rhinos, sea turtles, tigers or elephants on our sites, we do have the opportunity to support the species living in our own local environments.
