All advice/criticism/abuse welcome and appreciated. |
I can share my recent experience with you. I was building with a quality yard in Holland, but I decided to work with a consultant, who are also brokers. They had a straight forward approach and because I have done a lot of foot work, they only wanted to charge me a fixed consultancy rate. They were indeed helpful in many respects. I also had the chance to employ a captain through them, who had been working as a project manager in one of the leading yards in Holland over 25 years and hence I had a smooth building period.
Hope you have as good luck as I had in finding the right people. It is the individuals that makes the difference.
