Construction guys needed, assistance with typhoon damage

Hi all,
Our place was hit by the typhoon, and the sea defence wall has been damaged,
could someone advise of construction workers who can give us quote to fix please,
only would like trustworthy people who have been used by you personally,
we are not currently there but can send the number to our brother , he has no interenet and does not know anyone there so assisitance most appreciated,
thanks

 

Just to add scope of work, what we have been told already is that we think there is 50 sacks of cement needed and around 5 loads of sand, i not sure elf truck or large truck,
thanks

 

Could anyone tell me the rates for labour force there, i am guesing 300peso a day for a carpenter , 250peso a day for a mason and 200 a day for labour,
is this the correct amount?

i understand everyone has problems at the moment and are busy, but out of the 120 veiws to this topic not one reply?

 

I just pointed from your classifieds and the 40k quote to this thread ...

However 40k, that is what you get as they are not capable of any math, or think they are something special. if worked for a few long-noses before.

just had recently a guy here to renovate my kitchen. He was working here for some other stuff before.

He quoted 15k for 2 weeks, him and a helper. I just turned around in disgust. Then he came down to 10K. His work was pretty fair before, so we agreed. 2 days before the agreed starting day, he let his chick call that he need to start a week later.

So we organized another guy who could start immediately for less. When the original guy called to start, we told him a friendly F... U...

I got him recommended here on DI and I recommended him also to a friend of mine, after his first job. Maybe too much honor, as his attitude and math regarding salary obviously sucks now.

If you have no long-nose here to supervise every little step and is not afraid to be the bad boy, you run into problems anyway.

 

Thanks very much jack, I wonder if you could advice me here, as i have had a builder quote me for repair a sea wall, he estimated 50 sack of cement, then 4 truck or sand, i dont know elf size or large truck, in materials, so i estimate that at around 15,000 pesos,
but the guy has quoted 40,000 for the work, including materials,
i thought about 20,000 would be more like it, do these constuction guys really charge double on the job there?

do you know any one who could go take a look at my place in dauin and give me a reasonable quote or a team we can pay day to day and supply the materials ourselves?
cheers


Thank you very much rhoody, i can understand your words completly as i lived in Angeles city for 6 years and it is such a mirror on the work front, i have posted a copy of what i posted to jack on the classified section,
its a right pain not being there and sorting this stuff out personally,

for some reason we used to get the same style of calulations from locals in angeles, then i just hired the guys myself and didnt talk about quotes! just buy the materials needed and hire them by the day/week,
any lazy sleepers fired , but just as you say of you leave a shy pinoy in charge nothing will get done correctly anyway.

So now we no longer have a sea defence wall of any use, annoys me and i am not even there

 

Have you been looking at my wage book. that's just what I am paying my workers, except the Carpenter is a Working Foreman

BTW, PM for you on a Builder but shoot Expatron a post as he has a team that may be able to help.


Hope that is OK Ron

 

Dave you are a top man! The way it was explained to me was as if half the wall was down, i been bit worried! you have calmed me nerves for sure,
any chance you could forward the pics on when you got a chance? forget a couple of beers i think i owe you a night out

 

Well thanks to all for the replys, I emailed a couple of the recommendations but received no reply's, i shall try another......

cheers anyway

 

Thanks to a member here who took these pictures for me, i think this damaged wall should be around 20,000 to fix, View attachment 9046 View attachment 9047
