Let us create your brand-new home or improve the home you’re in
Our Approach
Bear Builders Ltd (now known simply as Bear) was founded in February 2014 by Björn Risi Jnr, his brother Lawrence Risi and their father Björn Risi Snr. We have come a long way since then, now employing a workforce of 11 full-time employees, along with a handful of carefully selected specialist subcontractors we are positioned to take on any domestic project.
It is true to say that our people are our most important asset. The skill, care, and dedication they give to Bear undoubtedly sets us apart from others.
Here to Help
We know (because we are customers too) that customers want support and help to make the right choices for their home, they don’t want to be pressured or to be pushed to make a decision they will regret.

Project Management
The key to a successful project is management. Before we start any project, we ensure the planning, coordination, budgeting and supervision is in place to ensure smooth running.
Additionally, every project we undertake is overseen directly by a dedicated project lead who has the direct support of our buying team and senior team. Your dedicated project lead will always be on hand throughout the project, day or night, to answer any queries and keep you up to date on progress.

In addition to our own guarantee, for complete peace of mind, we can provide you with industry-leading warranties which are tailored to your individual project.

Minimising our environmental impact is fundamental to our purpose and we are always looking to incorporate the latest green technologies in our work. Our Zero Waste Approach means that with proper management and planning we can recycle and repurpose the vast majority of waste materials.
“Bear undertook major roof repairs to our grade 2 listed house. Both directors and the crew working on the project were always pleasant to deal with, responsive to changes and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. We will use them again.”
