bad experience with V*ng*rd (p.mgt) moved here into singapore some time back and finally getting a flat and was looking around for renovators/contractors. knew a friend who was getting his flat done then followed his renovations closely as was thinking if it is good, i can use the same contractor and maybe the contractor can give a good quote but i guessed it was a pretty bad experience to my horror even not as an owner and seeing the end product with things not done well. it may probably be the sub contractors' fault in which v*ng*rd sub contract to these people. but i think the ultimate/final responsibilities lies w V to take good care of it isnt it? kind of pity my friend who paid a fairly huge amount for basic/simple renovations done but having problems here and there after moving in. those problems here and there add up to pretty much inconvenience afterall. i guessed irresponsible the word to relate to this contractors. my friend actually went to few contractors before deciding on this one but maybe is his luck. a lot of things before starting of the renovation, V was like okay but after the end product, denying things that was promised? i was there throughout so i was like puzzled by this. im not sure if it is the 2 f.partners or 2 f.bosses. but it seems like they contradicts each other words at times. one promised things to be done and the other denied over the things to be done; claiming they did not agreed to it. next is probably the manners/ attitude from them. it is not a service industry so we are not expecting an A class service from them but since they are doing a business serving different clients, how can the attitude for before works start be so different from during the works process? i mean i believe when people do renovations they would want it to be as good as possible since it is their home. having requests to do a much better work is not too much to ask for, however how can their attitude be till the extent of being pi**ed/ rude when the owner ask them to get things done properly when it was sighted that things were not done properly? it was probably till the extent of ignoring the owners' requests then. how can the okay-attitude before things get started become so different when works are in process/done? while following my friend's reovations i heard alot of things about owners get unpleasant with contractors/renovators often and is very common. is not just V. like other friends or friends' friend etc. however, this is something i thought i can share. and is there really good renovators that you people can recommend? thank you.
