hiring a contractor裝修招標(biāo)
My company decided that it was time to remodel our offices and I was put in charge of getting bids from contractors.
我們公司決定裝修一下辦公室，我被指定來(lái)負(fù)責(zé)對(duì)承包商招標(biāo)。
The trouble was, I had heard horror stories from friends who did remodeling and I was worried about finding a company that would get the job done on time and under budget.
問(wèn)題在于，我從不少搞過(guò)裝修的朋友那聽了很多不好的經(jīng)歷，我真是有擔(dān)心我是否能找到一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的承包商，準(zhǔn)時(shí)不超預(yù)算地完成任務(wù)。
No doubt there are many honest contractors, but some of the people I talked to had experiences with shady companies.
當(dāng)然有很多承包商是誠(chéng)信的，不過(guò)很多跟我聊過(guò)的人都遇見過(guò)不誠(chéng)信的公司。
Some of them weren't on the level about being able to meet deadlines and some tried to get away with murder when they billed for a job.
有些是不能按時(shí)完成任務(wù)，而有些在要帳時(shí)采用的手段非常惡劣。
It was important that I found a company that was on the up and up.
所以找一家誠(chéng)信的公司對(duì)我而言很重要。
I got bids from six companies and checked all of their references.
我向六個(gè)公司進(jìn)行了招標(biāo)并檢查了他們送上來(lái)的所有資料。
In the end, I picked a company that had done work for one of the biggest companies in the city.
最終，我挑選了一家以前曾經(jīng)為城里的公司裝修過(guò)的企業(yè)。
They seemed to be the best and our company hired them.
他們看起來(lái)是的，我們公司雇傭了他們。
I have my fingers crossed that everything will go smoothly.
老天保佑裝修工作能一切順利。
