Speedy Hire:
Speedy Hire SWOT Analysis. (Appendix 2):
Speedy Hire has recently had a successful takeover of Waterford hire with four new branches added to the four current ones. They are well established in the UK and only recently entered the Irish market in 2006, but have managed to build a solid reputation in that short space of time.

Two major competitors of American Home Shield (AHS) are Choice Home Warranty (CHW) and First American Home Warranty (FAHW) . Choice Home Warranty is typically considered one of biggest competitors in the area of price, so they immediately draw customers to their website to seek more information about their company. CHW website has a great amount of information listed which I would not necessarily consider this factor as what makes it more superior than American Home Shield’s website, but it does offer more accessibility to specific information. CHW has website tabs specific to real estate agents and those going through a real estate transaction and offers this information in a very detailed manner. I would expect this feature to cause less

Since there are 8-9 different colors of 8 types of doors we had to make chances and stockpile some doors we assumed might be popular. The “shaper” (Kirby, 2016) made couple of good connections but the majority of sales were through Internet. We had to engage a “company worker“ who helped us to organize the orders and shipments so we could more focus on sales and discovering new markets. The “company worker“ managed to balance in and outflow of goods in an economical way so the profit raised. For now, neither of the teammates had salaries perhaps some pocket-money so the majority of the capital could be re-invested, for example we created a web site: harmonika-ajto.hu, katalog and payed ads.

Tectonics is defined as the science or art of construction, both in relation to use and artistic design. It refers not just to the activity of making the materially requisite construction that answers certain needs but rather to the activity that raises this construction as an art form. It is concerned with the modeling of material to bring the material into presence - from the physical into the meta-physical world (Maulden, 1986). Since tectonics is primarily concerned with the making of architecture in a modern world, its value is seen as being a partial strategy for an architecture rooted in time and place therefore beginning to bring poetry in construction. Tectonics, however, has the capacity to create depth-ness of context resulting in the implicit story being told by the tectonic expression.
