I am &lt;a href="http://kaconceptproject.blogspot.com/2005/06/experience.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;experienced&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and I know what kind of design you like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;2.Ok then, what products do you use?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I use only the top of the line products. Many contractors in the cut throat construction business today use low quality products as it increases their slim profit margin, this I will never do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;3.Will you know my homes needs?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Yes. Preparation if the most crucial aspect of any project, and you can rest assured your home will be prepared properly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;4.Do you service my area?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;If you are here, chances are good I service your area...I service the all area in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;5.Is your work guaranteed?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Of course. Your &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;100% SATISFACTION IS QUARANTEED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;If you are not delighted with my work I will make it right!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;6. Are you insured?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Yes, I'm insured for $10 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;7. Do you give free estimates?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Yes, call now &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;012-3069050&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and I will scheadule a time within 24 hours for your free estimate. It generally takes 30-60 minutes to write an informal estimate. I take the time to get a general idea of what the customer wants. I take some measurements, and calculate some man hours. The informal estimate is a ballpark, generally within 7-10% of the actual contract or firm qoute. It takes time to write a formal estimate (1.5-2 hours). I use estimating software for this so it needs to be done at the office. I always follow up the next day to ask if you would be interested in a formal quote which is very detailed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;My Story&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To a certain extent I believe the art and craftsmanship of remodel the house has been lost, when I first started working in the construction arena 6 years ago..., I remember my &lt;a href="http://kaconceptproject.blogspot.com/2005/06/experience.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;previous bos&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; tought me how to create a beautiful and high quality building.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; We do alots of project from small projects such as a house renovation to a big and multi-million projects. I've learned alots about the project management and process that must be needed in the construction works. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;If we leave out one of the &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;"must do"&lt;/span&gt; process and surely the construction works will definately will turn out into a problem.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;This is a totally true story of how I was taught of the construction works, I doubt very seriously that small contractor like me today, goes through with this process. But this process did produce a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;A1+ a high quality works&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the late early years renovation contractors actually took alot of pride in the craft...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;In those days the contractors did most of their construction works to achieve the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;desired of the customer wanted.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Today remodel the house is considered something that can be done by anyone. The craft part mostly had gone. Many shortcuts are taken to increase a slim profit margin. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;In the early years there may be a few contractors in town, but today there are thousand of them. Many contractors focused in one area then "under-bidding" takes place in which one contractor will give you a price that he can make a profit and give the customer a good job, then someone else comes along and cuts that price, and then again someone comes along and cuts &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;THAT PRICE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Then what you get is a low quality renovation work because the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;"under-bidding"&lt;/span&gt; has not allowed for a profit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a practice that I saw time and time again. It gives the good contractors a bad name. I am a small start up company.. I will always strive to keep my overhead as low as possible, but I will always bid the job where I can stay in business and more importantly give the customer the very best job that can be had at any price. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;My prices are fair and my work is A1+ high quality.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;I appreciate your time and I want to earn your business!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14220017-112059359467246332?l=whykaconcept.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whykaconcept.blogspot.com/feeds/112059359467246332/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14220017&amp;postID=112059359467246332' title='42 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14220017/posts/default/112059359467246332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14220017/posts/default/112059359467246332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whykaconcept.blogspot.com/2005/07/why-me.html' title='WHY ME ???'/><author><name>PAC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17098932405043003493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>42</thr:total></entry></feed>
