I bought them lunch too...unfortunately still ****ty quality of work

Hi all, my previous posting on this ID firm didn't get a pass. riding on this thread, i hope to share my experience with this ID firm. to start my story, i would like to emphasize that: do not go with this firm unless you are certain you can handle them i chosen this ID firm because of price and also the ID is very accomodating and enthusiastic. well, i was quite wrong, after signing on the dotted line. it seems like everything that was a yes before became can't help it, it's like that. on top of that, i realize that my ID was merely a contractor as he didn't have any input in setting my new home. all ideas came from me and my wife. to summarize my lousy experience: 1) my home was delayed for one month before i moved into the house with the house at 80% completion. 2) I gave up on the remaining 20% work as i am physically in the house and furniture is all in place 3) the house is not in move in condition as it is dirty and cable tv wrongly connected, instant water heater not working 4) i have to sought the 3) above myself as the whole NW is in Thailand having fun with my $ for their company trip 5) as i moved in, i realized that quality of work is at 40% if 100% is the full mark. they failed miserably. the workers put up broken tiles onto my wall. they use rusted screws for my toilet accessories. the clay in between tiles are all over the place instead of in between the tiles. 6) minor things that a ID should know what to do without saying, i had to remind him god rememebers how many times before it's done. 7) to date, coming to the 2nd month from the promised completion date, there are still pending things that he yet to complete. 8) he tried to cover up his mistakes by saying it's hdb's ruling, of course i realised it's not later on, but nothing can be done. 9) to date, my flooring (although all are new tiles) looks like a contrustruction site with patches of paints and dust everywhere. 10) renovation waste is still sitting outside my house, not taken care of yet (and it's almost 2nd month already) it's a capitalized UNSATISTIFIED if you asked me about them.

Can some kind souls here advise me on if there is such a thing called venting pipes located in HDB bathrooms and are not removable? my flat is 4A and built in 1980. upon completion (actually renovation is not totally completed but i have moved in, i will start a new topic on that and will highlight to all to avoid the ID that I engaged) of renovation, i see that 2 pipes protruding out from the floor of the master bath room and 1 from the common bathroom. when i check with my ID, he said cannot remove as it is for venting. I am puzzled, venting for what? further more, he is going to seal it. hope to get some light of this from here. Thank you in advance
