What a small site needs from its dry liner

A smaller developer often runs one site at a time, so the next phase may not follow straight on from this one. That makes some sub-contractors wary. Your site needs a dry liner who will fit attendance around the build and come back when a plot is ready.

Tell us at tender how the build will run, phase by phase or all at once, and we will say plainly how we can attend it. Every enquiry is considered on its merits.

Fewer sub-contractors for your site team to manage

On a small site the site manager is often the whole site team. Several of our trades can sit under one sub-contract with us, run by one named contracts manager, so there are fewer firms to book in and fewer numbers to ring.

At Station Road in Eccles, three trades came from us on the same order.

  • Dry lining, with tape and jointing
  • Metal stud partitions
  • Skim and traditional plastering
  • Liquid, flowing and traditional floor screed
  • Through coloured render

Schemes for smaller developers

Station Road in Eccles, Norfolk, was 24 energy efficient homes for Strand Developments, six of them affordable by our count. We carried out the dry lining, metal stud partitions and plastering there, on a contract worth £260k, and the scheme is handed over.

We have also worked for Strand Developments at Great Bircham in Norfolk.

The checks on your plots

A small scheme gets the same checks as any other job of ours. Every plot is photographed on our cloud-based quality system, then signed off by the contracts manager and reviewed by our construction administrator.

Those photographs are kept in Site Audit Pro for you to see on request. Once a home is sold, our customer care administrator answers your requests within 24 hours.

Questions

What buyers ask us

Will a dry lining contractor take on a small housing development?
Yes. JMC Drywall Ltd, based in Tiptree, Essex, works for smaller developers across Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and East London. At Station Road in Eccles it carried out dry lining, metal stud partitions and plastering on 24 homes for Strand Developments. It takes complete builds only, and considers every enquiry on its merits.
Can one sub-contractor do the dry lining, plastering and screed on a small site?
Yes. We price dry lining, tape and jointing, metal stud partitions, plastering, floor screed and render, alone or together under one sub-contract. Taking several trades from us means one contracts manager across all of them and fewer sub-contractors for your site manager to organise as each plot moves to the next trade.
What does a plastering and screed contractor need from a developer to price a job?
Send the drawings, specification, inclusions list, scope and programme to estimating@jmcdrywallltd.co.uk. Tell us how the build will run, as that shapes how we attend. The price reaches you by the deadline you set. Our quote is our quote.
Can you fit around gaps in a small developer's build programme?
Tell us at tender where the gaps are likely to fall, and we will tell you plainly how we can cover them. A smaller site rarely runs as one unbroken stretch of work, and we agree attendance with you on that basis before the order is placed.
Are plots on a small scheme checked the same way as on a large one?
Yes. Every job has a named contracts manager, and every plot is photographed on a cloud-based quality system and signed off before handover, whatever the number of homes. The photographs are kept in Site Audit Pro and you can have them on request. After sale, requests to our customer care administrator are answered within 24 hours.
