READING, England, July 20, 2010 - Midgard Limited, the main contracting division of J Reddington Limited,
has selected UNIT4's project collaboration system, BC, for a GBP53m
residential and retail project in Woking, Surrey.

The four year scheme involves demolition of an existing site and
construction of a 2 1/2 acre complex including office buildings, retail
units, restaurants and 449 flats and town houses with live/work facilities.
The associated works include access roads, sewer systems, infrastructure,
enabling and landscaping.

UNIT4's BC will enable all parties working on the 'mixed use scheme',
including Midgard's client, consultants and sub-contractors, to share project
information; such as documents, requests for information and site
instructions, in a single, secure and fully auditable environment. The system
has been used to manage the design review process and provide a means of
tracking instructions, requests for information and requests for change.

Jonathan Wicke, Quantity Surveyor at Midgard Limited commented: "We
selected BC because of its simplicity; we didn't want users to have to follow
lots of steps in order to put information into the system or get it out. The
speed that documents can be transmitted between the team, and the systems
document tracking capabilities, has enabled us to alleviate the need for a
full time document controller. The set up emulates our existing processes and
where processes were weak, the team at UNIT4 has helped us identify and
rectify them through the system."

Andrew Bowles, Sales Director at UNIT4 Collaboration Software Limited,
said: "We are delighted to be assisting Midgard with this project. This is
another great example of how our customers use BC to store, find and share
project information. Our systems do not dictate a way of working but instead
reflect our clients' unique processes."
