re: So near - but so far !!!

If the target is 30 grant and you have raised 21 why not try to get better offers from BG companies
(I STRESS NOT LOCAL ONES)
I believe you will be able to find company willing to do the same job during the summer.

Wait until mid May when major jobs are to be stopped on the beach for the summer season and alot of workers are without a job for the next 2-3 months .
Daily wages are much lower in some parts of BG .
For the last good few years I have found that the daily wages are the ...

For the last good few years I have found that the daily wages are the most expensive in Pamp region so shift away and you will have a success with the 21000 upper limit without a doubt.Bingo!

re: So near - but so far !!!

Excellent advice, Mikey Very Happy

Amanda - as most of the children will be away when the work is being done, there should be room to house a team from anywhere. Do you have any contacts in other areas Question Maybe workers/companies from areas nearer to the Black Sea, who are laid off for the summer, would quote a good price. Mid May would be better for you to spend some time on this.

Have a great holiday and see you Tuesday 6th May Very Happy Very Happy

re: So near - but so far !!!

Thanks Mikey - your comments are really helpful. Very Happy

The job has already been put out to tender but you are right about firms looking for work during the summer months and the daily wage being less. This should work to our advantage and it's up to us now to try and find one of these firms to do the work for us at a competitive rate.

re: So near - but so far !!!

Look into the west (around Sofia and the region or north west)
How big is the job anyway?
Give me some figures (what is needed etc and number for contacts)
Also edge different companies -Approach this way: I have been given quote such and such -can u do better? and leave.
They will come back to you
To save 30% on expences simply by choosing company is normal in BG so dont see it as a problem at all.
Simply forget the local companies-maybe convenient but most expensive option I am ...

Simply forget the local companies-maybe convenient but most expensive option I am afraid.
Plus the materials are most expensive in Pamp anyway.

re: So near - but so far !!!

OK if you knw better solution-suggest .Competition is much greater in the capital and around it.
Prices for wages amounts are a fact anyway.
Anything I have done in Pamp in the past was with outsiders.They will bring their caravans do the job have a drink or two on the way and leave-no problems.
Only with ordering materials everything has to be brought in from outside to gain 30-40% reduction as well put plumbing and heating shouldnt be a problem.

Dont worry Borogirl you are in a ...

re: So near - but so far !!!

Mikey - what's the matter now Question I thought we were talking about the orphanage Question

I don't know any large companies that can put in central heating, that is why I asked you the question. You made a helpful suggestion and I thought I asked a valid question.

I am NOT having a house built but am going out to the orphanage beginning of May - to take sports equipment and introduce cricket to the children. I am a teacher, so am doing what I do best - work with children.

re: So near - but so far !!!

I thought michelle had had an offer from a group of workers that was invovled in her hotel to do the work for free and you just pay for the materials. try and search the post, I may be wrong but sure it was something like that. Surely if that would be the case then 21,000 should cover it.

re: found this

found this under whats thirty thousand euros think it was posted by dona


Possibly a silly question but gonna ask it anyhow can't look any sillier 2nite. Is this amount including paying someone to install the system as well as buying it. When I was at Michelle's last week we were talking to a group of irish guys who are heating engineers and plumbers and suchlike and they volunteered to go over for a week in the summer to help with the installation.

I am waiting for them to contact me about this but maybe this could cut the cost a little and mean we get there quicker. Me and Michelle volunteered to be labourers ....that would be a laugh in itself.

re: So near - but so far !!!

Sam - they are doing work in the bedrooms for free. It was suggested that they be approached re the heating. It maybe asking too much from one company - the orphanage could end up bankrupting them - there's so much to do Exclamation
