Hi all, I am starting a business on an F&B outlet. The place is not furnish. As there are many rules and regulations from NEA, hdb etc. I need a contractor that is au fait with the design and installation of an F&B outlet. Do you guys have any recommendation. I prefer a honest contractor with good price. Thank you very much all!!!

This thread is interesting ...

hey thanks!I found a my old contractor!

Hi all, May I know if the quality of the furniture good? Or it is something similar to Ikea? Cheers

Hihi, I agree with you that it is subjective to individual expectation. However, everybody had a minimum expectation. A company cannot hand over a finished job with uneven shelves, chipped edges, un-smooth drawers. To me, this is quite unprofessional for a company to handover such a sluggish job. For your second point, to call the customer lists seems impossible. The company should protect the customers' privacy rather than to ask the prospect to call the customers. Personally, I do not go down to any showroom. It is because it looks like an "Advertisement". Everything was good there. From the most complex wardrobe to alluring shoes cabinet, everything you find there are the best quality. It's like going to the car showroom. Everything was nice and well polished. Even the car agents are well polished with sales talk. All the good mechanism are mentioned but not the bad ones. Look at Toyota, it doesn't need people to sales talk much and people know Toyota is a good brand. My old house was renovated by an ID. I did not go down to her company's showroom. She was recommended by my friend. My old house was neatly done by her. Additionally, she was responsible when I pointed out some flaws, she quickly rectified it withing the next day. However, I can't find her as she no longer worked in her company. It's like 一传十，十传百，百传万。 (Sorry poor chinese ) It means if a company is really good/bad ... It will spread around quickly like wild fire thru words of mouth. So my point is, the bad company will ultimately loses all his customers and reputation, whereas, the good company will be gloried without the need of 'advertisement'.

Hi all, Not trying to side anyone here. It is not uncommon for any staffs/bosses/friends to hide behind a computer from a company to act as a VERY SATISFIED customer to praise/boost/glorified themselves over the net space. This is a very unethical marketing strategy, however. It is also common to see forum mates opening multiple accounts to attack another forum mate. It is your call and duty to find out more about the company before making any decision. Take your time. Find out from other forum mates. If possible, ask them to show you the pictures of poor workmanship/ good workmanship. A picture tells a thousand words. Forum is just a guide to source out the information you want. My 2 cent worth.

nickgoh, Do you have any good contractor to recommend? I intend to do a customize wardrobe. I have been looking at the forum for quite sometime. I shortlist a few but have yet to decide. Cheers!

Just share one of my story about poor after sale service. I bought an insurance from an agent. Initially everything was good. Agent come to my house and send me documents to sign. Even send me birthday card for the 1st year. Then I intended to cancel my policy becoz I wanna support a good friend by buying from him instead. When I called the agent and told her I wanna canceled the policy. Many silly questions were asked. Then I called her a few times but she told me either NOT FREE or she didnt pick up. In the end I called her company. Few days later, she asked me to go to her office to cancel the policy! What a vast differences from pre sales and after sales.

I guess JKS had fallen for the same trap LOL

Hi JKS, Did you win the case against them?? It's so terrible.

Is that the workmanship from Amare La Casa? It looks bad. Everything seems like a amateur carpenter's workmanship. Actually I'm gonna do a customize wardrobe before CNY 2011. I have shortlist a few but definitely not this kind of workmanship I want. Workmanship is important but Business ethic is more important.

Hi I'm new here! I would like to do a customized wardrobe. Maybe 6 feet tall. Do anyone know where can I find a good contractor? Cost doesn't matter as long reasonable, good quality, good service Cheers!

Hey JKS and Rinairfan, I think your pictures are very small. Maybe you should enlarge it so we can see better. Cheers!
