Ms secretary, ppl is nick is FU HUA ID!!! -
Just called any door company they will quote u less than $250 SOLID veneer door. $580 bucks is on the high side.
-
must it be bricks wall? You can build a wardrobe to cover or using solid plywood for replacement. For building a brick wall, u need not to rip off yr entire bedroom, only the stretch for the wall area will do.

thanks once again for the help and advised. If you refer to few pages back, i did give feedback to you on ah soon the pro and con, lolz. Anyway, below is the pointers :- 1) capentry work design - make sure the color and design are accordingly to yr request. My basin was shifted nearer to the right instead of left becos of the capentry design. As right on top of it is a cabinet which you may hit onto the corner of the top cabinet edges. I didnt complain as i take it is as oversight on my part. 2) If you replacing all the doors to veneer door type, make sure u that they provides u the SOLID door instead of hollow one. Coz the price wont be much difference of less than $40 or so. But yet, they didnt offer me to get SOLID veneer door. 3) If u doing laminate wood, their offer will be either Power dekor or Ace flooring. As for Power dekor they will wanna charge u 7 percent GST, they claim that it is the laminate company asking for it, another stoopid reason. End up i choose Ace flooring instead, both are from China made and installer are the guys from Power Dekor staffs. In my opinion, dont choose Ace flooring, i do have some wood shrunk after installation, again i closed my eyes!!!! 4) the shower screen, if you wan more than standard height of 1.8 meter, u better sounds it out, if not they will claim that u didnt inform them. 5) Electrical point, nego for a lump sum instead of breakdown of individual job done, tis will save u quite abit. U got to determine how many electrical points for yr unit before nego with them for the lump sum charges. My project was not handle by ah soon instead by one of is his hometeam whom already left him. If you wish to view my place, do let me know ya. Here is my blog, do feel free to ask me for any queries. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...22984&st=80 cheers -

Hey thanks man, the leaking is mild though not as in life and death. As i have put a small pail below to collect the droplet of water. Anyway, tell him to give me the $500 cash cheque will do. As i m no longer interested to wait for their guy to come over and rectify my problem. U ask him where his farking ethical behaviour has gone too??? If the rate that he is going, i m sure he will be history!!! If he cannot eat the big pie of cake, let other ppl do it!!! Anyway, come to think of it, are we under his mercy after sign up with him as a customer??? -

I guess we had been "protecting" him too much. Is time to let go our frustration!!! As i mentioned many times, we pay reasonable price not cheap!!! So i do expect some sort of customer level of service rite? If you cant make it, do answered my call and not ignored. When he needed money for payment, i never had fly him aeroplane at all, infact i pay him CASH cheque instead as he requested. I know i m in risk, i m doing it bcos I do trust him. Poor time and manpower management i do understand long time ago. But rectification of work also fly aerolpane? This is ridiculous isnt it? If yr basin leakings into yr vanity cabinet, how do you feel and got to endure for months for them to take their farking own sweet time to rectify? WTF. Will you trust a contractor whom fly u aeroplane after the completion of yr work and never returns? This is called fly by nite contractors, is a no no!!! U tell him i m from bukit batok!!! Ask him to pay back the $500 and thats settle my problem!!! If he is not happy, he knows my hp, coz i m the one being calling him more than 10 times yesterday!!!! -
Floral designer tap anyone?

Totally disappointed by Ah soon, kena fly aeroplane not once but four times. Twice by his hometeam and by him. Where got justice!!! Despite we swear by him, this kind of standard i think is not acceptable. After the renovation, asking them to come and rectify some jobs, out of four they completed only one job. It's been more than a month and i m kind enough to allow him to delay again and again. Despite calling him, but no call back at all, i wasted FOUR full saturday waiting at home for them to come but yet kena fly aeroplane. To those owner still under going renovation, please dont make the balance full payment like me. During the last payment, i told ah soon abt the rectification needs to be done, he promise and agreed that he will arrange for the work to be done. For the balance payment, he ask me to hold $500 as a balance but i trusted him, i pay him in full instead and this is how he repay me? WTF!!!! So the million dollar question is here, down the road will he even bothered to come to do the rectification after completion of the renovation? In order, to make him come back to do the work, i suggest existing ah soon customer, please hold at least $1000 for two months or so before making full payment. Now, i m pursuing to ah soon return me the $500, so that i can arrange my own contractor to do the job and dont have to waste my time waiting!!! Do you guys thinks is fair??? -
Hmm i m only good at using ruler and pencil, lolz wish i can point u the right direction for modification of yr design. Yr design issue really complicated, i guess got to wait for yr finish project. Well, good things must wait, lolz All the best in yr reno ya!!!

It's really so much more spacious with the wall hacked! However, the downside is the need for PE certification which costs us a few hundreds more just for a signature and a stamp chop! The HDB officer and the PE doesn't even need to be around! How much u pay for the PE for certification?
-
Hi Black! Actually most of it is self design one, so hmmmm... anyway, i think my reno is really a first for uncle, cos i got 2 different quotes, 1 from uncle and another from Ah Wei! According to Uncle, my carpentry is so complicated that he just asked me to get a quote from Ah Wei, and as you can imagine, Ah Wei was not happy about it at all!!! WOW wow, any teaser drawing for us to view yr complicated design. U really got me excited!!!

Radac
blackcar replied to sand's topic in Renovation Contractors, Interior Designers & Suppliers Reviews
Radac or not is not my selection criteria. In my opinion, can the contractor live up to yr expectation and secondly, will they fly u aeroplane after the job completion? The good, the bad and the ugly contractors can be found in this forum, what u need to do is to read and read. When i looking for my ideal contractors, is a breeze for me. Coz all the concern and question can be found in this forum. I just zoom in the one that meets my requirement and that's it!!! Apart from sourcing for contractors, like purchasing of furniture, accessories all the answered can be found in this forum too. In short!!! RenoTalk kakis, u guys rocks!!!!! -
