Basement Renovation

Used MRE Developments Ltd., for a significant basement renovation that was required to be completed within less then a months time. MRE went above and beyond from completing the project before the predicted timeline, making complimentary fixes to the property, having prompt communication and having an excellent creative eye. Super appreciative of MREs efforts and will recommend them as well as use this company for future projects.

basement reno, legal suite

Needed basement renovated for a legal suite. Tried taking on job my self but ran into lots of issues. i was given a contact number for M.R.E and pretty much handed job over to them. Best decision ever, they were prompt and professional completing job in a time i could only dream of, and the plumber and tile guy used were very neat and organized. Great service

No significant "management" value

They were ok to deal with and I don't want to sound harsh, but my recommendation would be to find a company who's actually more involved in doing the work. I think we payed a premium for a management company who did little other than collect payment. And maybe it's me, but I would expect an official invoice, not simple an email saying "the email outlining the price and job details is the invoice". Maybe this is normal? I don't know.

I did give a higher satisfaction rating, because the company they used to do the work were great.

This client Andy 'believes' he paid a premium but he did not. Bcuz of the way we are setup 1) our overhead is lower than the majority of our competition and 2) our pricing on material is low bcuz of our strategic relationships. this leads to 3) this client Andy wouldn't have been able to get a better price for the quality we provided.. and 4) theres many companies in the city of Calgary he got quotes from or can get quotes from so with all these choices why did he choose to go with us? why would a reasonable person 'choose to pay 20% to 30% extra?' like he is claiming he did? a reasonable person wouldnt do that. There was approx 1 month between initial contact with client Andy and the time the client said he wanted to move forward with us to complete his project. He had AMPLE time to find a 'better' option to avoid having to pay '20% to 30% extra' he thinks he paid.

The documentation this client received was an 'official invoice' providing him with the information he required. We are a mobile enterprise specializing in construction solutions. We do NOT have traditional or legacy business framework. We are not brick and mortar. We ARE click and order which allows us to serve clients efficiently & at a lower price.

This client has very little understanding of the ever changing business landscape and obviously doesn't understand our corporate structure so he is not in a position to say anything valid.

This client Andy is not a construction or concrete expert neither so he is not in a position to say anything valid.

Little does Andy know the companies involved in the completion of his project are partners. This means that although we are seperate companies we work together as ONE. His project would not have been possible without all of the parties involved .To separate the project and say 'choose a company who is more involved in the work' makes ZERO sense. We communicate all necessary aspects of the project with one another, and coordinate as well..Who is this client Andy to determine our team members roles & responsibilities? We are the professionals, Andy is not the professional.

This project was managed properly there wasnt any deficiencies. There wasnt 1 question that wasnt addressed. When this client Andy says no 'significant management value' he actually means no 'significant discounts'. Thats what he was after.

The truth of the matter is this client gave a low rating is because he was UNABLE to get us to do extra work for him for free. This client is upset bcuz in addition to receiving a top notch install for a good price he 1) wanted a price reduction for a nonsense reason and 2) he wanted us to complete work OUTSIDE of the project description free. We did not do either. This link shows the project details were EXPLICITLY detailed ahead of time, no ambiguity: https:///f/s!Ai45UyDt2UGzo1N0AIdCFucyzwZ4

This link shows the conversation exchange where this client Andy wanted a price reduction and we didnt provide the price reduction for logical reasons: https:///f/s!Ai45UyDt2UGzo1JWSXk433tr8XHs

If you are a CLIENT/ CONSUMER who wants to receive QUAL1TY work for the best price available and receive exactly what is AGREED, we will be PLEASED to look at your project. We will beat the price of any legitimate quote when comparing apples to apples.

If you are a CLIENT/ CONSUMER like Andy who is not appreciative of good work at great prices and gives a 4/10 review for a job that looks like this: https:///f/s!Ai45UyDt2UGzo1GultPojAVSHLIT do not contact us we are NOT interested in working for you.

All links will be available for viewing until sept 18th 2020.

If you are a CLIENT/ CONSUMER who wants things done for free like this Andy client do NOT contact us. Instead contact any of the plenty unskilled unexperienced underdeveloped companies out there that offer better service than us for prices below cost!
