Report on the Renovation of Golden Building - Business Development

This report details the renovation of the Golden Building, focusing on the issues related to the cedar deck. The report, written by Alex Biggs of Recon Services, addresses the lack of proper maintenance over the past 10 years, leading to the degradation of the deck. It highlights that the previous contractor did not apply sealant after sanding, and the posts lacked top covers, causing water damage. The report informs Alice Green, CEO of Envirotech, about the $4000 repair cost and offers a 20% discount. Recon Services also proposes a maintenance contract for $200/year, with a 10% discount to ensure goodwill. The report concludes that free renovation services cannot be provided due to the lack of maintenance, and the cost of repair and maintenance contract are necessary for the sustainability of the cedar board.

Subject: Renovations in Golden Building
Dear Ms. Alice Green
It is to bring to your notice that the renovation activity on the deck was undertaken by
Recon Services 10 years ago and since then no proper maintenance were commenced.
Therefore, we would not be able to provide free maintenance.
During the inspection, it was found that improper care and maintenance has resulted to
the rotten cedar deck. The deck should have lasted for 25 to 40 years with proper maintenance.
On the other hand, it was also found during the inspection that the deck was re- sanded and
the concerned contractor did not apply the sealant. In this relation, we contacted Mr. Sam
Sharma, the previous owner of Golden Reality, and came to know that 4 year ago a contractor
was hired for renovating the board. However, the work was stopped halfway as Sam wanted to
sell the building. Due to lack of proper maintenance, it was found that the posts were missing
the top covers, which diverted the water from the posts and the board adjoining to the same. It
has resulted to the degradation of the board. Therefore, we would not be able to provide you
with the free renovation service pertaining to the fact that the degradation was the result of
poor maintenance. The cost of repair would be around $4000 and our company will be
providing you with 20% discount. On the other hand, Recon Services will issue a guarantee
certificate if a maintenance contract costing $200/ year is provided to our company. In this
relation, we will be providing you with a 10% discount for ensuring the goodwill.
Therefore, we will not be able to perform the renovation service for free and there will
be some added charges along with the maintenance contract for ensuring the sustainability of
the cedar board.
