For groundworkers, tendering residential retaining wall projects can be a time-consuming and complicated process. Successfully winning a tender requires a careful balance of material costs, installation time, client expectations and your own profitability. So how can you manage all of these considerations and improve your tender success rate for residential retaining wall projects? The key is to tender using Tobermore’s Secura modular concrete block retaining walls rather than the default masonry specification. The process becomes even easier with the help of the Secura Portal, an online tool that simplifies planning, pricing and proposals.
For residential developments, modular retaining walls are effective and flexible. They provide quick installation with no need for specialist trades, thereby increasing groundworkers’ profitability while ensuring durability, functionality and aesthetics.
Tobermore’s Secura blocks have a mortar-free design that ensures long-lasting performance and structural integrity. They offer excellent drainage and resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, and with a seamless appearance and a wide range of colours, textures and finishes, there are options available to suit any design preference.
Developed to provide an easy and effective way to plan modular retaining wall projects, Secura Portal streamlines the tendering process. Groundworkers can quickly create detailed, accurate and cost-effective proposals that demonstrate the benefits of modular retaining walls and win bids.
The value of the Secura Portal was highlighted at the Hawthorn Grove development in Weatham, East Sussex.
O’Halloran and O’Brien, a family-owned groundworks and civil engineering company, used Secura Portal to upgrade the traditional masonry specification to a modular retaining wall that was quick to install, attractive, robust and cost-effective.
John Willcox, Senior Surveyor at O’Halloran and O’Brien, praised the Secura Portal tool: “The Tobermore Secura Portal gave us all the information to provide an informed and accurate tender for our client.
“With the help of Tobermore, we were able to maximise our margins and deliver a stunning set of retaining walls.”
If you’re looking for a way to win more tenders, increase profitability and boost your reputation for providing attractive and high-quality retaining walls for residential developments, then Secura Portal can help.
