Rigor. (from the lat. rigore) n. 1. harshness; strength; 2.fig., severity; punctuality; accuracy.

There is no "more or less levelled", "more or less upright”, "more or less clean" or "more or less safe", but rather “levelled”, "upright”, "clean” and “safe". The rigour is reflected in our procedures, in time and in the rules to follow. In the light of moral and principles, being severe means being rigorous.

Solidarity. (from the lat. solidare) n. 1. the quality of being solidary; 2. reciprocal responsibility among the members of a group, namely social, professional, etc.; 3. sense of sharing another’s suffering.

Being solidary is being a friend, offering our hand with genuine generosity and bringing joy and human warmth to those who, somehow, are marginalized. Being solidary is being more human. A solidary company is recognized as a fair and non-selfish company. A solidary company is a preferred choice in business. It is a more competitive company. Volunteering is a vehicle to solidarity. It is modern, fair, cultured, friend, it is a noble gesture of moral elevation.

Courage. (from the lat. coraticum) n. 1. bravery facing danger; intrepidity; to have audacity; 2. moral force before a suffering or setback; 3. [fig.] to input energy when performing a difficult task; perseverance...

Courage is essential in our life. Courage to face less pleasant situations when complex issues come up, not expecting random resolutions.
It is a value that we must highlight as opposed to the fearful, cowardly and laziness.
The courage to react to criticism not with an attitude of demotivation or sadness, but rather to search for the means and the action to overcome its own reason. This kind of courage, which is also an intellectual courage, is highly recommended.

Ambition. (from the lat. ambitione) n. 1. vehement desire of wealth, honours or glories; 2. expectation about the future; aspiration; 3. lust; greed…

Vehement desire to achieve a particular goal. Ambition not to resign ourselves. Ambition to take the best potential from ourselves. Ambition to deserve ourselves. Ambition to be athletes in our top-level competitive jobs. Ambition to beat our brands. Ambition to get the best deals with the maximum value, due to the high levels of proficiency and efficiency.

Esthetics. ESTHETICS (from the Greek aisthetiké, "sensitive") n.f. 1. Philosophy branch of philosophy that studies the beauty and nature of artistic phenomena; 2. author's own style, time, etc.; 3. harmony of shapes and colors, beauty; 4. set of techniques and treatments that aim to beautify the body.

We decided to build the company's economic foundations under a cultured, cosmopolitan and cool image. Because it is a charming state of being. Good taste because we are sustainable and we respect the planet. Good taste because we are sensitive. Good taste just because.

Responsibility. (from the lat respondere) n. the trait of being answerable to someone for something or being responsible for one's conduct; a form of trustworthiness.

We must be certain that, before a choice, we chose what is best for both of us and not just the best for each one. Each employee is responsible for his negotiated activity and co-responsible if the co-worker does not fulfil his own task, thus preventing the common goal. A team is a set of individuals - is a whole. In the business game, as in social or family contexts, everyone must comply with their own relative position and we shall not permit that one of ours fails to be in our team.

Bysteel wins over new works’ contract in London: Kings Cross Quarter residential development

bysteel, a dst group company, was the company chosen for the façade cladding project at Kings Cross Quarter, a residential development with 118 luxury apartments and located in the centre of London, alongside the renowned King's Cross St Pancras Station.


The intervention by bysteel in this Regal Homes works’ contract, a major real estate promoter in London and the work of the architect Pollard Thomas Edwards, accounts for turnover exceeding 2.1 million Euros. It involves the design, manufacture and assembly of all exterior metal claddings and aluminium and glass façades.

It is the fourth bysteel work in the UK after having taken part in 2016 in the extension to Queen Mary University of London in Mile End, the construction of the Addlestone Town Center Development and The Gateway Building, an asset of Thames Valley Science Park owned by the University of Reading.

 

José Teixeira, the chairman of the Board of Directors of the dst group, believes that this works’ contract “represents the acknowledgement of the quality and capacity of implementation of bysteel on a market which is highly demanding both in terms of quality and safety. It also reflects the influence that the University of the Minho, particularly the Engineering School and the Economics and Management School, has on the dst group, especially as regards the enhanced know-how about how to face up to these new challenges”. This is why he stresses that it is “a source of pride and great motivation to see the excellence of our work being acknowledged internationally, all the more so in a luxury residential project located in one of the busiest areas of the English capital”.
