Rayneau Offers Up to $50,000 Hassle Free For Petty Contracts

We are eyeballing the last quarter of 2015  with the view that this is the time when we know plans are being formulated to renovate homes, pave yards, do some landscaping, build retaining walls,laying of tiles, adding another room to the home,  or any other major project - the list goes on and on. 

We are also aware that this is the time when petty contracts from the constituency councils or Ministry of Infrastructure are being awarded. At RCIP Ltd you can lay your burden on our shoulders and we can take it "From Foundation to Finish". In a discussion with Business Executive Officer Mr Anselm Clauzel some time in November last year, I questioned him on the concept of "From Foundation to Finish" and what he told me deserves to be shared. The concept actually means we do every thing for the customer at a cost of course. All we need from the customer is the idea of what he wants.

Here is a scenario: Jane Public owns a piece of land and has decided to construct a home on this property. She has heard about us through another client whom we have done business with. She comes to CIE Ltd with her land papers and discusses with the persons in charge what she wants - size of house, no of rooms , kitchen, bath etc. Further discussions ensue as to financing and the whole lot. Once this is agreed upon CIE Ltd will take it from here - all paper works, approvals excavation in other words we will within a specified time frame we deliver to Jane public the keys to her dream home.

Scenario 2:Joe Public is awarded a petty contract from The Ministry of Infrastructure or the Constituency Council in his district.This contractor can come to us for assistance. Once CIE Ltd can confirm the method of payment by this contractor he will get all the materials he needs from RCIP Ltd,equipment, plus monies for labour from start until the project is completed. Once completed we collect our due payment and the contractor gets his due balance. This also holds for all contractors who have projects with government or other sources who qualify for the program. And the beauty about this is there is 0% interest. No catch, no gimmicks. Financing can go up to as much as $50,000.00.

Mr Gajadhar is proud to be associated with this program and considers this as an initiative to get small contractors on their feet. He says that too often small contractors get a contract to do some work and do not have the finance to start. The banks he says wants some form of security which many of these contractors don't have. With his 0% financing the contractors are able to get the materials and labour cost to complete their project. "I am happy to be of assistance to the small contractors." Mr Gajadhar reiterated.

Give us a call or visit us this last quarter and all your construction issues from foundation to finish will we taken care of. Our experienced and courteous staff are standing by for your call.

Works Gets Underway On Airport Apron

Clips of works in progress on Apron

Excavation works is presently underway on the airport apron at the Hewannora International Airport.  The airport apron is the area of an airport where aircraft are parked, unloaded or loaded, refueled, or boarded.

The resurfacing of the airport apron has been contracted by St Lucia Air and Seaports Authority to our parent company CIE Ltd which is well noted for producing high quality work and delivery within the specified time. The work is now into its second week and it’s due to be completed in six more weeks.

For the ordinary layman, the work involves excavating the apron’s surface area and laying of sub-base, base material and then laying of asphalt. According to the CIE Ltd engineer on site, the middle part of the airport apron will be in concrete. 

There had been rumours circulating that CIE Ltd appears to be a favoured company with the government and that this job was not advertised. Far from the truth, Mr Gajadhar says. The Hewannora Expansion works was tendered by three companies- CO Williams, L Caribbean and his company CIE Ltd.  CO Williams St Lucia did not meet the criteria and so CO Williams Barbados tendered. When Mr Gajadhar asked by Jadia while he appeared on a  TV program, why he got the job,Mr Gajadhar reiterated," I bid for the job and  because of my capacity and because of my ability to perform and because it's a big job in a short space of time, I think I was awarded the job."

Work Starts on Laborie Village Main Road

Section near Junction

Last Saturday residents of High Road in Laborie village welcomed the rumblings of tractors, loaders and 16 wheeler buses as the surface of the road was being scraped off to make way for a new asphalted covering. This is part of the Banse/La Haut and Laborie Village Main Road Project.

The stretch of road in question starts from the junction entering Laborie  from Choiseul, to the Laborie Bridge. This is the first phase.

This High Road, over the years, has been a source of concern for both motorists and pedestrians alike………a myriad of pot holes, poor drainage and narrowness in some areas.

Petr's Plumbing Construction at work

One of the main concerns of the engineers has been the reconfiguration of the disrupted pipelines after the grading of the surface. Wasco has contracted the services of Peter’s Plumbing Construction to rectify all broken pipelines.

Later this week sub-base material will be placed on the graded surface and compacted. The whole process leading up to laying of asphalt - sub-basin, basing, and asphalting, may take up to two to three weeks for completion.

A shop owner gleefully thanked those responsible for the works and she hopes that with the upgrade of the road business will catch up. "Vehicles don't pass here anymore, they make all the round to go into the Village. Thank God for Rayneau!" She cried out.

Our Team Leader is Interested in Uplifting Communities

Team Leader

Our Team Leader, Rayneau Gajadhar of RG Group of Companies recently  celebrated his birthday. For those of you new readers who may have just been hearing the name Rayneau Gajadhar for this first time, we feel obliged to give you a brief background and some of his views.

 Our Team Leader was raised in the community of Barre D’lisle where he did all his schooling before he ventured in to the city in search of employment. Finding work was proving to be a very difficult challenge, he did many odd jobs, but with his drive and determination he started his own small business – selling ice cream by Johnson’s. Along the way he moved on into different businesses. Read http://rayneau.blogspot.com/2014/11/rayneau-construction-and-industrial-icon.html 

Rayneau can remember being a photographer taking pictures at wedding parties, doing commercials, having a repair shop to repair electronics equipment, importing televisions and VCRs and selling them. He had a video rental shop, a wrecker service and at one time even ran an auto mechanic and body shop. He was also into furniture and many other things. In 1992 he got into the equipment business. There was an opportunity to buy two little bobcats from a company. This was a company that financed equipment for another company called Habitat. Rayneau got into renting the equipment for people in construction; and that is how he got into construction.

During the period of CO Williams, B & D and CCI, it was very difficult for locals to enter into construction industry and it was always considered that the locals were not well equipped and they did not have what it takes to get the job done.

Rayneau saw the opportunity especially in the construction industry and grew his business from very small to where people never thought about him. Most of his work has been in the private sector. He did a lot of work with Cable & Wireless during the expansion period.

RCIP Ltd

The company continued to grow by Rayneau investing in equipment and staff that would grow his business. He reinvested every dime he made back into the business.

Today we have RG Group of Companies which comprises, CIE Ltd, the RG Quarry Ltd and RCIP Ltd all in a space of 23 years. Both RG Quarry and CIE have received prizes at the International Summit for Quality Awards in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

What do the people ask of or say about our Team Leader? At a talk show “In Touch with Jadia” the host Jadia Jn Pierre, asked Our Team Leader, “…….How is it that you are able to invest at that rate and to be able to take on projects of this magnitude……….?

“I will tell you what it is. St Lucians do not appreciate St Lucians and are not proud of St Lucians. Unlike Bajans,a St Lucian cannot go to Barbados and get a contract that easy………..St Lucians need to start being proud of their own people and their ownselves.” Mr Gajadhar thinks St Lucians don’t seem to support locals and he continued,…………”and this is very wrong and this is not right and this does not auger well for any St Lucian to develop and do better. I will not let this to stop me or slow me down”

Flyer about program

Many persons are eager to know about the "Contractor Program" which Mr Gajadhar is offering. Here is how Our team leader  puts it. "I am the only contractor or person who finance contractors. I do that because I want to grow small contractors. I know where I came from, I know how difficult it was and I wanted to finance contractors that are unable. Whether you get a $10,000  or $2million contract and you cannot get the finance, because the bank wants land and that kind of thing, you can come to me, I will finance you the contract......"

 "You see this gentleman, he is the best, the best ever businessman in St Lucia." A young lady remarked." She went on to say, "And without him we will remain in the dark. He is better than the bank,than all governments we can think of. And Mr Rayneau, I have a message for you, stay on your own, do what you can for the people of the nation.........You are doing a very good job. Continue, God bless you."

Section of a community road

And about doing good for the people, Mr Gajadhar has on more than one occasion offered to both sides of the fence financial aid to do infrastructural works to the tune of US$20m or EC$50m annually at an interest rate of 3.5%. Thus far none has taken up the offer. However his conditions are that the financing is for community roads to benefit the people. He reiterated, " I do not want to give the money and they just  go and do a highway........... it is for community roads - short roads about 100m, 200m and so on......I get the gratification that I am doing something that the people benefit out from. So even if we do forty or of fifty roads ,very small roads for that money at a ridiculous 3.5% interest rate I think the people will benefit, the government will benefit, I will benefit out of it."

Many St Lucians are proud of Mr Gajadhar's work but in the wilderness there are a few critics which have no basis for their grudge.

Happy Birthday to St Lucia’s #1 Entrepreneur – Rayneau Gajadhar

John Quincy Adams wrote, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more

and become more, you are a leader.”

Rayneau Gajadhar

Rayneau Gajadhar is an inspiration to many so it's only deserving to wish him a Happy Birthday. He

is a year older today Tuesday August 4th. Wishing him many more successful years ahead!

I have never met a person as kind, humble and down-to-earth as him. Thank you for being a

wonderful boss. A clip online reads, “Most bosses are preachers, but you are a true leader. Most

 bosses are just managers, but you are also a mentor. Most bosses arrogantly demand

respect, but you deserve it because you are perfect.” This reflects Rayneau Gajadhar in every sense.

Ray's sincerity inspires us, his hard work motivates us, and he sets a great example 

for all of us. Happy Birthday Boss! From all of us at RG Group of Companies.
