Dear Mr.Dr Irfan I am phd in civil engineering and teaching in U.E.T since 20 years.I want to share my experience of my life.When i was 25 years old i had constructed my father house with labor rate.That period and experience with sub-contractor Mr. Mehdi was wonderful.He has completed my all work,He was alone with his labors but i found him one of the best among al in his working method.Then after 15 years of my life i had constructed a 12 marla home in Johar town.I hired a lahore most famous sub contractor Mr. Tariq.He was very cheat,liar and unprofessional as well.I made more than a loss of 100000 rupees even in labor rate.In middle of the project i kicked him out and was very worried.At that time i completely forgot about my 1st sub contractor then my Mother one day remembered me about him.In that time i had taken so many sub-contractors,all were giving me different rates.He was above 60 years of age and I was stunned that he is still doing work.He came to my project and started working on it.At that time he was working with material rate..Whatever he asked i gave him that rate coz i knew about his truth,selfless,professional and reliable personality.
I am 100% sure u cant find such people who has no greed in this life and who does their work not for wealth but for passion.He completed my work with best service.I said that you are not better than me but from all civil engineers as his wish was always to be a civil engineer.He has taken all work with material but yet he always came and gave me material rates.And i was always surprised that his rates are even low then market rates whenever i check then rates are only high in which quality is concerned,because he was the guy who really dont compromise in his quality and work and i m recommending you that hire a professional like him as rates and prices does not matter because in the end bad and cheap material and work costs you more.Still he is the one who always asks you before taking any material that whether you want it or not.
Now the story ends in an emotional way,i am now above 50 years of age and on January 2014 i needed to make upper portion of my home.There was none but one Mr. Mehdi so i visited him again,he is above 70 years now & still very energetic and lively,He stood up and embraced me for honour,i was really weeping when i saw him as old man with white beard.He said i dont work now.That was a word which made me cry out then he hold me up stood me with happiness that his only youngest son out of his 4 daughters Mashallah became Civil engineer from uet lahore,a great pride moment for him and his son has taken his farthers company on his footpath of truth,diligence,hard work.I talked to his son and given him my all work with material rate.He came to me day by day and only in couple of meetings i noted he is the second Mr. Mehdi in both work,quality and sincere,I couldnt believe that he worked with me like its his own house and was giving me again rates,material qualities,specifications and much more varieties in his products.God has given him his fathers prayers.
He completed my all work in 1800 rs/sqft and what a home has he made for me in that price.This looks me very unreal whenever i see other sub-contractors especially in our construction field then there are Angels like Naqvis in this earth.May Allah helps them for their wealth and health.They are working for 30 years in lahore and still they are very normal Haq Halal persons who earn only reasonable profit thats why Haq halals can not buy bunglows big cars and rich life in my Country Pakistan.Alas !!I am recommending you that these are true Changers whom if u meet only one time in life you will give them work blindly and whenever u ll check them in their work,quality and even market price rates you ll be surprised.I can give you people his son number if you ll want to have any civil engineering related work.As working for complete construction & finishing works you ll not need even to go market for doors,windows & paints.I suggest to hire him even for consultancy in const. or material rates. |
