About Us
Building affordable homes is our mission
Be First is a regeneration company, wholly owned by Barking and Dagenham Council. Our aim is to speed up the development of new homes in the borough, and to generate job and employment opportunities for local people.
Over the next four years Be First will be building up to 2,700 homes and around 80 per cent will be affordable.
We want to get residents engaged in the design of new homes and new communities because we passionately believe that residents’ involvement makes the community better.
Our Statement of Principles sets out how we expect to engage with everyone who is directly affected by our work.
