			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">“We do everything from start to finish,” says  Wellensiek. “Our interior  designers design according  to the needs of the client and then <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-760" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 2px;" title="Moritz Wellensick, of HAUS" src="http://www.bnipelican.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Hauswithflair.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="180" />we  source and  procure it all. We have suppliers for whatever is  needed.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the recession hit in 2009, Moritz Wellensiek’s  student nightlife  company took a fatal blow. It was  Wellensiek’s second entrepreneurial  venture since  leaving school, and marketing budgets shrivelled   overnight. “I saw it coming,” says Wellensiek. “I knew I needed to start  something else.” Eight months  before the business shut down, he was  finding clients  who needed furniture made and began acting as the   broker. He then opened a retail furniture shop, Haus,  in Cape Town.  “The idea was to bring the Ikea concept  to SA, with low prices and  medium quality.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But when  Wellensiek had secured two investors for the  project,  he realised he couldn’t take the leap without the  passion.  Retail was “too slow and boring”. He went  back to brokering and  developed the Haus turnkey  projects, which not only link buyer to  seller but add  value. “We do everything from start to finish,” says   Wellensiek. “Our interior designers design according  to the needs of  the client and then we source and  procure it all. We have suppliers for  whatever is  needed.” It’s a unique model: the biggest competition   comes from interior designers who have design flair  but little business  or management skill. Having  focused mainly on residential projects,  Haus is  moving into the hotel and restaurant sector and plans  to  include countrywide franchises. Wellensiek says he  has learnt that  having the right product is only the  first step to a successful  business. “If you don’t have  the right approach, the product won’t fly.  The most  important thing is to concentrate on one thing at a  time,”  he says. “You don’t want to be a jack of all  trades and master of  none.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am ecstatic with the work completed. My entire roof looks brand new. We never experienced any leakage from the high pressure water and I give credit to Mori for this as he was on my roof for 3 days with his team supervising ever aspect of the job. He updated me twice a day with photos and areas that I needed to attend to. The attention to detail was outstanding.</p>
<p>I would not hesitate to recommend Mori and his team if you are considering doing some high pressure cleaning.</p>
