fencer 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2010 Maybe it was the time to coordinate and the transportation, thats why, they rather take a bigger project than to do this small project. Hmm..Typically small projects must find who to do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fencer 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2010 To other forumers, pls do not send me any more PM asking for quotation as I already full of projects till end of sept. I'll not be taking anymore projects till after that. Regardless u r rich or poor, doing more or less, to me all are equal, its 1st come, 1st serve. To ID/contractor, dont bother to pose as hse owner to ask me for a quote just to keep me busy. Cos if I do found out.....heeheehee. To my friends, pls do not set up a club for me. I prefer to keep as low profile as possible. Thks. I'm still prefer to advise in this forum rather than advertise or sell my service. I want to use more time to concentrate on doing my current and future confirmed projects than neglected them. I have my own principal of view towards business, if you are good, words of mouth will help you spread ard, if you are bad so will ppl spread for u. I been here for so long, and so is being in the trade. There reasons for me able to survive without doing forumers job. Why would ID/contractors pose as hse owner just to ask for quote ? I notice that there is a trend in the forum to start a club. Sometimes i wonder whether it is a form of stealth advertising ... My guess? To see what other ID/ contractors are charging.. So far, i only noticed one very "vocal" club.. Jaskel has declined the offer of starting a club for him le.. herd mentality...isn't everything? nuff said... Ha.. ok.. no club or any sort.. Mayb is just a tactic to delay Jaskel's time so they can get a bigger portion of the pie bah.. and like jeffcraze said... survey the prices.. Ha.. Yup.. vocal club..

blueocean 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2010 That's true. In my industry, work comes to me and i rarely ever need to find work. And most of the time, i prefer to work with my usual clients because of familiarity ... Well, like wat darkfear said, if one has the skills and quality, ppl will come and look for him automatically..

I think not so much workers ba, coz they still need to have money.. More of house owners, esp those of us who see FS ones.. Tat's why I hope to shift in b4 aug..
