I am not in a civil or building professional, I don't know how do contractors in Tz work!. Is it fair smart for a contractor to advertise himself "cheap!!!!" , I know in other professional like legal professional, under the Rules of professional conduct and etiquette, it is strictly prohibited for such kind of advert to solicit clients by advocates using words "cheap", highly skilled and professional" very competent" etc.
What cheap means?? the Word itself is very subjective!......If one takes all forms of construction contracts or methods of procurement, be it traditional, prime cost, Management Contract, Contract Management etc), it worth to say that in a construction, there is no something "cheap" unless the contractor able to bear all risks to the maximum than the owner or client!..
I think, in the absence of price comparison or competitive tendering in procurement of construction project, it is difficult for a client to confidentilly rule out that the choosen path is cheap!......in our developing countries we feel that cheap rates always expensive!!! How many horror stories have you heard about defective constructions works as the contractors was cheap hence tried to maximaze profit at the mercy of the project itself by procuring cheap materials and cheap labour force????????. Do the people, poor, middle income or otherwise, know this when they choose method of procurement, hell no. If the house looks good in the show and was built for cheap rate, the client think it's great !!!!!!!.....but it may end without life!.....
