hi simon,
we didnt get the brick job, somebody went in less than half the price that we quoted, but the weird thing was that the client couldnt tell me what this OTHER company were going to blast the building with. Which i thought was rather strange.
I even spoke to another company that i know very well, and he looked at our survey and pricing, and suggested that we were competitive for the work invloved and the grit that we were going to blast at the biuilding.
Oh well you dont win them all, this is one of the complications of dealing with an end user, whereas we are now dealing with a housing association in North London, and the whole process is much easier, (they are aware of the price that a service will cost) again its high level work.
so thanks for that info Simon, and have a great weekend.
regards
martin
