Dear Julien, Although a good idea for other places in Colombia this referal system may never works due to the mentallity of the craft persons you´ll find here in Cartagena. According to my experience, from 10 jobs you offer none will be done well if you are a foreigner or from the inland. Some companies In Cartagena they bring their workers from Cali and their subcontracters from Bogota, Medellin and eventually from Baranquilla.
