Anyone recommend a good general contractor?
I am wits end looking for a good, efficient, professional and competent general contractor to carry out renovation and expansion works at a factory, including civil works, M&E works and interior office refit. There is a lot of work, but each individual job is fairly small, ie QR10-50k.
I need a small-medium firm, run by an individual who is able to respond quickly and carry out the work competently and quickly without rework. Sounds simple, but I have been trying for 2 months now, and have had a procession of incompetence, lies and crookery.
Can anyone make a recommendation?
Thanks in advance
PCcon....what we can do we are not in USA nor Europe, we can not go on comparing....as kris4u said better do it yourself.....
i am in contracting company and been "little" part in the tendering of towers in the Pearl and villas here, procurement of materials and hiring manpower....
better do it yourself..
BTW- My last comment was addressing BisDak
yes- this is exactly the type of response I have been getting. I find this strange though, considering the low wages that the actual manpower is paid. I believe that the past two years of irrational exuberance have distorted the average contractor's idea of what a fair economic profit should be. Comparing labour costs, material costs, taxation burden, labour protection, safety costs, legal liability etc; every single one of them is cheaper here than in Europe or the US. However, the unit cost for a typical civil or mechanical job is higher, and quality is lower. This can only mean that profits being made are not economically sustainable. Greed has overtaken reason.
These chickens are returning to roost though...the glory days are now gone, and they ain't coming back.

"procession of incompetence, lies and crookery"
Thats how it is in Doha......better do it yourself, hire some workers..

Really its very difficult to find considering your budget of 10-50K QR per job, it can hardly even pay the manpower....
