I quite agree, but you have to remember that is also all over the world, most things are never one hundred percent perfect, and here it doesn't help using such low quality materials.Originally Posted by Eliminator
Alas I do have to watch over them, but I don't expect the customer to, I am there to tell my staff what to do, not explain why we are doing things a certain way to the customer.Originally Posted by Eliminator
I remember one job was to renovate a 40 square meter condo, we had 2 weeks to complete the whole lot, first day I got 15 staff in there, tilers, ceiling people and electricians, we wern't allowed to start until 9am, the customer, who obviously cant speak Thai wanted to know what each person will be doing, I mean don't you think I got more important stuff to do on such a tight time frame than explaining in detail the work each person will be doing.
No point in cutting corners and using lower grade materials, can't make a decent looking job that way, the A grade materials are hard enough to work with.Originally Posted by Eliminator
The place where we are working now is a sub division, the guy I believe had to pay a deposit to the company of 100k baht to be able to use other contractors otherwise his house wouldn't be finished this year.Originally Posted by Eliminator
For the last 5 years or so I have been really lucky, ie in the fact that the customers don't live here, so at least that way they don't see the mistakes that we have to rectify
