ABOUT
Welcome to Optimal M&E Project Services
Optimal M&E Project Services supports M&E contractors with practical, commercially grounded estimating and quantity surveying.
​
The focus is simple: clear, accurate tender pricing that reflects the information issued, identifies risk properly, and stands up once work is secured.
​
Everything we produce is job-specific, realistic, and built around how projects are actually delivered not theoretical pricing or generic rates.
​
WHO AM I
​​Optimal M&E Project Services was founded by Murray Reid to provide reliable, practical estimating and QS support grounded in real project experience.
​
Murray’s background spans both delivery and commercial roles within the M&E industry. That experience directly informs how estimates are built understanding how projects are constructed, where risk genuinely sits, and how tender decisions play out once work is secured.
​
Rather than relying on generic pricing models, the emphasis is on interrogating the information issued, understanding scope and constraints, and producing estimates that are usable, defendable, and commercially sound.
​
Each project is treated on its own merits, with the time and care required to reflect the specific demands of the work and the client’s objectives.
