benetay, it was stated in the quotation which he sent to us stating he will give us the 3D computer perspective drawings. if he can't do it, he shouldn't have stated it there. don't you think so? anyways, he finally sent someone to seal up the holes in the toilet on Saturday. I can really say the materials he supplied is really good, but the planning and everything.. really down the drain.. the person who covered my toilet holes in the end really not the plumber.. is the electrician.. fainted..

Ok.. will PM u in a bit.. Worst thing is.. my last payment to him is only $200 and he's saying he will get his contractor to fill up the holes tomorrow.. I seriously doubt it.. Ask for money, the reply very fast.. ask him about when he gg to finish my "defects", very slow.

I type all out liao wor. Now he chut new stunt.. Asking me for final payment when all the HOLES in my toilet not yet covered up. The plumber cracked my wall tiles when he installed the corner shower rack and also till now haven't fix. Those holes/cracks one month plus liao still haven't even fill up at all. We got ask his plumber the last time he came to help fix the shower curtains. he said not he do one. but now, the ID tell us say is his plumber do one and he "thought" the plumber already do it already. And now we having dispute regarding the kitchen counter top. I can show u sms of him telling us he will raise the top but then WHEN the time came for installation of my standalone cooker, he come and tell us say sorry cannot be done.. He "promised" it can be done.. and at the VERY last minute before kompacplus come to take measurement. he tell us say SORRY cannot be done.. U tell me is it he chut pattern or we very "Niao"

Hijacking the post I won't recommend you to take this ID. I signed up with him and my reno has been on-going since 13th October. 1 - He has bad coordination with his contractors. All his contractors come and didn't bring equipment to install stuff, saying he didn't inform them. We really like idiots down there.. We might as well ask individual people come and do the installation instead. 2 - His planning is way off and he asks for payment when stuff not even done. eg. I paid him already and Electrical supposed to up before the carpentry, but then electrical not even up (my items were all there for him to install already) and then his carpenter came (W/O informing us also) and then installed the carpentry BEFORE the electrical was fully up (Imagine the holes they had to drill through my carpentry to allow the wirings!) Then the carpentry half up only and he asked for additional $5k payment cos he have to pay his carpenter. Really headache and dunno how to justify this to my husband to allow payment to go through as things do opposite. 3 - Carpentry do wrongly. Cos main cook is my husband and he is taller, the bottom cabinets (and we only do BOTTOM cabinets) too short. He didn't liaise with his contractor and then now both don't want to do anything about it at all, we got the sms to prove that we have asked him to do something about it and he said he will do something about it when the time comes but at the end, he tell us say sorry can't be done! (seriously!! WTH!?) 4 - My kitchen top only doing today cos my cooker is late, that one is my fault, i admit.. But the HOLES in my TOILET he promised to fill them up and till now, I think close to 1.5 months already.. Those Holes Not yet filled at all!! 5 - Paint he gave us really sucks! Easy to peel and we paid 1.1k for the painting works which is one living room and 2 bedrooms even though we are 4 roomers. (Ours is flexi-option, HDB already knocked down one wall for us). We are considering to change the paint after my exams which is in Mar liao. 6 - Electrician took 3 weeks to come finish everything after the carpentry and finally finished on 28th Nov 2015. We are not picky at all. The gangs they do wrongly, There's additional switch of which I do not know what it is also. so I have **** lots of "ghost" switch in the house, and these switch are not SSO, they are those kinds of light switches, practically "useless". My lights are all track lights, room lights is just 1 x ceiling fan w/ lights for both rooms and one tracklight for masterbedroom.. Living room is exposed black trunking and ceiling fan. Toilet x 2, Service Yard and Bomb Shelter is normal hamburger lights. Then foyer 1 light and dining room one more light nia.. These took from 13th Oct and finished on 28th Nov. 7 - The Window Grilles was the WORSE of the WORST!! From start of reno, he say wiill be after painting this and that.. then ok fine.. we chased him for the grilles for close to 4 BLOODY horrendous weeks!! The windows was finally up on 5th Dec 2015 8 - The haulage I DO MYSELF! I cleared all the debris and rubbish myself!! Even the sink left in the middle of my living room, I bring down myself using my own trolley!! And the so-called "chemical wash" is questionable!! He didn't even lay a single protection on my floor. 9 - 1 Consultation & Design Conceptualization 2 Space Planning, Lighting & Furniture Layout 3 Material & Colour Selection Proposal 4 3D Computer Perspective Drawings 5 Project Management and site coordination All these all don't have eventhough it's stated "FOC" in the quotation. Don't kenna him bluff.. NO 3D out at all!! Really regret engaging him and quarreling with my husband everyday cos of this. Seriously, the only good that came out of all these is that at least the material of carpentry he provided "looks" (still questionable cos we have only stayed there for less than a month, yes, with unfinished reno. No choice) durable and good.
