Perfect Agri Management Corporation - Do not use for Landscaping in Trivandrum
June 13, 2008
We used the services of Perfect Agri Management Corporation (PAMC) for landscaping our house premises. The problems we faced with them were:
1. They do not study the area carefully - they lay grass (lawn) where there is not enough sunlight - The grass does not grow well and you end up having to remove it later and put something like baby chips, gravel, etc. This shows their lack of expertise.
2. They do not have much knowledge in different types of plants. They have a standard set - heliconia and some creepers. These they force upon you saying that it will look great. You will end up having a mini forest of Heliconias.
3. They do a standard set of things for all projects - they do not show any creativity in coming up with new ideas. So unless you are willing to micromanage the design and layout, they will do a terrible job.
4. Their monthly maintenance is extremely poor. Do not even consider signing an annual maintenance contract (AMC) with them. They will take your money and give you scant service for the full year. If you have some issues, there is a government like red tape to ensure that it is taken care of in the lease efficient way. You need to give the complaint to them in writing. They will get the complaint (through their sub contractor) after one month and then decide if to take action on the issue! - all this are written based on my experience with them
5. If you are not careful, they will try to use expensive items and charge you a fortune for them.
6. As Perfect Agri is doing big projects from govt and other private companies, they are unlikely to give house type projects much importance. This is reflected in their overall service and efficiency.
We had to do all the designing of the landscape region ourselves. Perfect Agri was OK in executing what we had designed. We did not have to micromanage the everyday operations. However, that is the only thing positive about them. In all other respects they are terrible.
If you plan on getting your plot landscaped, the best option might be to get a gardener and make him do all the work under your supervision. If you need to have larger scale landscaping try to go with some of the other small companies that are starting out in Trivandrum these days instead of Perfect Agri Management Corporation.
