There are two important issues that Built Environment Professionals have to consider when seeking to export services:

The costs involved in finding clients & supporting the costs of accessing markets.

BEPEC, in partnership with the DTI, helps reduce the costs of penetrating international markets with:

One instance of BEPEC’s involvement in accessing foreign markets is an upcoming trip to Tanzania in September this year, with a group of our members. BEPEC is the last stop, from the paperwork involved in approving the funding from the DTI, to making appointments with potential clients in Tanzania.

We also involve all the applicable authorities to gain support for our members, from the embassies and ambassadors to the roads agency and various departments.

BEPEC also provides a full brief regarding the scope of work and projects, helping members identify project opportunities.

This is just one example of BEPEC’s commitment to its members.
