A customer asked me how much it cost to relocate the boundary of his 100sqm lot .
π π²: 20000php
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Masyado namang mahal, maliit lang ang lote!
π π²: How much do you think it would cost you?
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: 10kphp maximum... Madali lang naman yon diba?! Saka linya at printing halos yanπ
π π²: Ok, since magkakilala naman tayo pwede namang ikaw ang gumawa. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Pero hindi ko alam kung paano...π
π π²: For 4kphp tuturuan kita, nakasave ka pa ng 6,000php. You'll get the knowledge na kailangan mo. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Sige, pwede na din.π
π π²: But to get started: May mga kailangan tayong gamit:
(Robotic) βTotal station (270k-350k)
Laptop/workstation (45k-70k)
βLarge format Printer (120k-150k)
βetc.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Hala.π£ But I don't have all these equipment. Bibili pa ba ko niyan, isang project lang naman gagawin ko. π
π π²: Well then for another 4000php more I'll rent my stuff to you para makagawa ka. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Sige Sige π
π π²: Okay! thursday I'm waiting for you to start doing this work ha.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: But I can't on Thursday I only have time today.π’
π π²: I'm sorry, but I'm only available on Thursday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other customers na kasi. π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Thursday and give up my other tasks.π£
π π²: I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the non-productive factors.π
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Totoo ba? Ano naman yun?π²
π π²: Vat, Internet connection, power, etc.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Jusko! Ang dami ko namang babayaran at masasayang na oras bago ako makagawa!π² Sige. Yung mga gamit ok naman na?
π π²: Sure, nasa akin naman na yung ibang gamit, pero need mo ding i-research ang mga dokumento ng lupa mo at ng mga katabi mo. Need mong pumunta DENR/LRA at /o Register of Deeds. Mura lang naman kaso need mo bumalik-balik
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Ganon?
π π²: Actually, pwede nating utusan ang liason ko para sa research bale 500php per trip plus gastos sa research like photocopy at government fees.
Pagkatapos ng survey, need nating iprocess yung survey field data para makagawa ng survey plan. pwede kitang turuan... additional 5k kasama na renta sa computer at printing
Para saan ang survey? Bank loan ba? sale? Need ba ng approved survey plan signed ng GE at approved ng DENR?
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: Oo, may prospect na buyer.
π π²: Ahhh, tutal tinuturuan naman kita. Pwedeng pirmahan ko yan. Kaso ikaw na maglakad at mag-follow up sa DENR-LMS.
πππππΌπΊπ²πΏ: 4,000 sa turo sa field, 4000 sa rent ng stuff, 5,000 sa paggawa ng survey plan at printing... lagpas na sa 10k . Wala pa yung mga ilang beses na pagpunta sa DENR... Konti nalang din naman ang idadagdag ikaw na pala dapat gumawa.π
