Case Studies 3

Reach ETG Limited was appointed by M&J Drylining to prepare the full pricing submission for the drywall, internal finishes, and external render works on the Lidl Bovey Tracey development. Through a structured and commercially precise approach, Reach ETG Limited produced a competitive, fully evidenced bid that supported M&J in successfully securing the package from the main contractor.

Reach ETG Limited commenced by undertaking a thorough review of the architectural drawings, specifications, partition schedules, elevation details, and project constraints issued by the main contractor. The team defined the exact scope for each element of the works, including internal partitions, linings, MF ceilings, skim coats, insulated render systems, scratch coats, mesh reinforcement, and all associated accessories.

A detailed bill of quantities was produced, itemising every measurable component across both the internal drylining works and the external façade render system. Labour and material build-ups were prepared using realistic production rates, proven historic performance data, and up-to-date supplier quotations to ensure accuracy.

Reach ETG Limited analysed site logistics, access restrictions, weather risk, and sequencing requirements—particularly important for an external render package—to build a commercially sensible allowance for preliminaries, supervision, waste, and deliveries. This ensured that M&J’s pricing was not only competitive but commercially robust and protected against foreseeable risks.

The team also developed clear clarifications, assumptions, and exclusions to eliminate ambiguity and strengthen M&J’s contractual position during post-tender negotiations.

The final submission was presented in a structured, transparent format that allowed the main contractor to easily follow the logic, methodology, and breakdown of costs. This clarity, combined with a competitive and well-supported price, directly contributed to M&J Drylining being awarded the drywall and render packages.

Through disciplined measurement, market-tested pricing, and strong commercial reasoning, Reach ETG Limited helped M&J Drylining successfully secure the Lidl Bovey Tracey project and position themselves confidently for delivery.
