Property & Engineering Services - what we do

[Proffesor 31]

I'm a comparative Newbie here. Have met a few of you on the 2 recent bar crawls. A couple of you have expressed interest in "what we do", so with Frosties consent, I'm posting this as an introduction.

 

My (Thai ) wife and I have a small Company ( Engineering & Property Services Co Ltd ) based here in the Darkside. I'm an Engineer to trade, so have a reasonable understanding of how things "work".

We have Thai staff ( as required to meet my Work Permit quota ), we have a Furniture Workshop / equipment store and we have trusted sub-contractors that cover all the trades that I can imagine you ever needing; which include :-

• Air Cons
• Glazing
• Ceramic Tiling
• Electrical
• Plumbing + water tanks, pumps et al
• I.T.
• Decorating - painting, papering etc.
• Curtains, blinds etc
• Granite & Marble ( and refinishing work )
• Security safes
• Security doors
• Mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum fabrication
• Bespoke furniture
• General Building work
• Etc. etc

                       All sub-contractors work under our ( my ) supervision. Where possible, we aim to provide a near European standard of work.

We have been called out to replace a Bum Gun head. I've been employed as the Project Manager of a THB 35m+ house ( mansion ) build. These two jobs represent the two extremes thus far.

Currently, we're upgrading the 2nd of 3 bathrooms in a ( Pattaya ) town house, due to start building some internal walls and replacement of old steel water pipes ( with PVC / PP-R ) in a 200 Sq.M Jomtien Condo renovation next week. Also in discussion regarding the revamping of a 3 storey shop-house bar in central Pattaya.

We work on a straight forward "Cost + 20%". Labour day rates for various staff skill sets are declared up-front, as is my wife's and my day-rate. Quality materials are purchased at the best rate we can find. The work is done, the cost of materials and labour added-up, a 20% premium is applied ( Overheads, Profit Margin etc. ) and the total is what we ask you to pay. If the job goes well, you pay less. If we hit an unforeseen snag ( TiT ! ), we tell you, we fix it ( properly ) and you only pay what it costs ( + 20% ). The alternative is that you invite a contractor to Quote for the work; he Quotes for what he can see, + a huge contingency for what he can't see, but experience has led him to anticipate, + a profit margin. If the job goes well, you pay through the nose and he makes a killing. If the job goes badly, he has the option of covering-up any problems and walking away with a small profit, or doing it properly and making a loss . . . . unfortunately, the latter doesn't often happen.

You will find cheaper than us, but I would like to think that, although more expensive, at the end of the day, we provide Value for Money.

So, if you think we might be able to help, please give me a shout.

Having used Steve's company I will also recommend it.
Steve and his wife are good, hardworking and reliable people.
I don't think I could have found cheaper but even if I could it is well worth it to have peace of mind without having to watch every action of the workers.

Hi guys, 

I'm thinking of hiring Steve & Co. for bathroom (full remodel, tiling, etc) and floor tiling in an apartment. I would like to hear from some other users here if they were happy with his services? If its uncomfortable to answer in public I'm available in DM. 

Thanks!

Unfortunately, Steve is having problems accessing the forum (mods: are you able to assist, please?), but I've made him aware of your post and he will email you.
