This is a general question for the Cairns residents.
A plumber friend of mine is building a new shed (he burnt his last one down
) & has asked me to give him a price.
(As waterproofing & epoxy flooring is quiet, i'll do a once only building project)
The shed is about 25x10m & has steel (310UB) portals.
I asked a guy here in mackay (that i've used in the past for smaller stuff) & he told me that he couldnt be competitive & that there was a company in Cairns that kills it for price. He had heard of a guy who had a similar shed built by somebody in Cairns but didnt know the name of the company.
When i asked if he thought anybody might be able to do it locally, he basically said not if you want it reasonably priced. I even asked if he had much on & his reply was "enough to keep us going".
(Amazing isnt it, the town is struggling & still its the ripoff capital of QLD)
Anyway so for the cairns guys if you know any of the companies that may fabricate & transport south then i would appreciate some names.
I've a list of name from the phone book, just hoping one of you locals may know a particular company to save me numerous phone calls
The local guy here told me that the other guy had it fabricated, galvanized & erected, in Mackay, by a Cairns company cheaper than a local company could or would fabricate only
