Report
I attempted to acquire a quote for a project. A lot to ask, I know. Upon learning I already had other quotes for the project by which to compare his, in my opinion, unusually high (and vague) quote, he asked me why I was wasting his time. I've been working in the construction industry in the lower mainland for about 15 years now. It is not unusual to acquire multiple quotes for each part of a construction project. It is, on the other hand, unusual for a potential sub-contractor to be as rude as Mr. Kutev was to me.
