🍺 Vector quoted $72,000 to move an electrical pillar 20cm. The actual job? Completed by contractors in 90 minutes for the cost of a few beers!
You CAN do something about these costs. Michelle Hohepa’s consultancy “Dig Once” has already saved clients plenty on various projects by challenging Vector’s quotes and processes. Michelle describes some huge inefficiencies in the process too.
💪 Don’t just accept inflated quotes – there are ways to fight back and get fair pricing.
About the author
Kirsty Merriman
For years I would plan houses, travel widely and observe communities. I also had the privilege of working for New Zealand's largest dairy company in both New Zealand and Malaysia. All the while supported by my husband and young daughter. After a while, our roles swapped and we moved to the Arabian Gulf. Meanwhile my passion for property and communities continued to simmer.
Along came COVID and had no choice but to pivot... in the words of Robert Frost, I looked for and "found the road less travelled by" and decided that maybe I could "make [a] the difference".
I look for to find insights and built a few of the houses that we need. This means a saleable house and a profitable and sustainable business.
