Renovating on a shoestring
We’ve all been there. Spending hours calling dubious tradesmen who’s number is listed in the classifieds of the Local Gazette Weekly. The quality and reputation of the budding shyster is as questionable as Caster Semenya’s gender. Even after hours of meticulous dialing, you are no more clued in to the potential success of your project as when you started.
Reverse Auctions to the Rescue! Over the last few years a smorgasboard of quality sites have sprung up to address this problem. They employ a reverse auction solution. You simply enter the job description and wait as tradesmen bid for your job. Competitive pressure ensures a quality quote and each site employs various feedback mechanisms, ensuring you know exactly who you are dealing with. And the best of all, you save your fingers from premature dialiaitus and gain extra time to enjoy a dozen or 5 pina coladas at the local watering hole. Joy!
So whether you’re after a renovierung, remontti or a plain old renovation, why not give reverse auctioning a go!
