Definitely disappointed by his "rubber time". We have arranged for furniture to be delivered but now have to postpone it because what was supposed to be 6 weeks of renovation became 7 weeks because hacking was not done in time despite pointing out to him when the hacking started that a section of wall was not hacked, so this dragged on for 1 week. Now my carpentry will only be completed another week later, meaning now renovation will drag into the 8th week.
We started renovation in late Oct hoping to move in before end of the year because based on estimation, renovation would have been completed by early Dec if everything was on schedule and even if we have to drag on for another week, we would still be ok. But from the looks of it now, I'm not even sure my house will be ready for handover by X'mas as there's still all that small things like touching up, mending etc, he has to do before he handover. This has caused us delay in moving in because right now we still can't set a date to move in, not knowing exactly when the renovation will be completed. And for all these, do you think he will compensate us in any way? We have been paying him on time so far for every payment and yet this is the kind of treatment we get.
From this experience, I am never going to engage a contractor again. We are not exactly paying very low price because we thought at least we may be assured of some quality but in the end we had to compromise on time. I know his son helps him to monitor the forum, you can go ahead and tell him that I am a very unhappy customer.
