  1. i'm looking for this too, can you recommend where? difficult to stick myself? waterproof?
  2. oh no that sound very bad, lucky i didn't get them. who's your id? it's good to show pictures to back this up.
  3. happystar which part of china u buy from? i go shanghai for business often but worried of quality.
  4. best way to test water bro not upset. over for me good luck to them.
  5. was only asking at first..I'm sure you also saw GENSNONO posts everywhere u see blve blue or carpenter content! if he's not advertising also no need get angry right.
  6. it looks ok reasonable as haulage and sand included.
  7. hahaha i dont know also started with a question because i really got read the threads but disappear showroom sure must impress right or show what? good or bad dont know but management respond like that cannot lah
  8. hauhau parquet have good reviews here and got different sizes. do a search.
  9. we got a quotation from him and he is accommodating, follow up and give quote within a week also. it's the more reasonable quote from id firms but we decided to go with a contractor recommend by friend.
  10. yar find it very fishy and didn't like how i was accused of being james. did more research and didn't like what we found. will be good if more people comment and share as the old thread i read about them myidfactory is now gone.
  11. agree! i see dishonest id posting here also dun feel good. just to add, hdb approve or not please do a simple forum and google search of the id firm name, id guy name and read reviews before paying! make an informed choice and do your homework
  12. my quotes are between 1100 - 1500 but i do it with whole house reno.
  13. finally going to start reno! i met more than 10 ids and contractors. started with ids first but all charge very expensive, then start to meet contractors. ids usually only quote using floor plan. contractors depend, most will only give quotation after seeing your place. many things are not in the floor plan and some ideas id give cannot work in the house. some contractors very experienced and can tell you what cannot do or what most ppl do. but contractors mostly speak chinese and no 3d drawing. lessons i learn 1. do your homework! now all young couples get flat don't know anything ids sure see you look like carrot. i don't know anything about renovation when i first meet id. after i read many post and quotes from renotalk you will know the market price of different items, which material good and bad, what to look out for. this is free info, and you can test if your id overcharge or is honest or not. 2. read magazine and surf online, know what you like. it's your own home must feel comfortable or very nice also no use. 3. follow renoblogs, see which house you like and see how people choose id 4. get more quotes meet more ids and contractors. my quotes got range from 40k-80k for similar job. 5. get a contractor/id that you feel like you can trust. see finished projects and get someone that is straightforward. 6. search forum and read reviews before paying! search the company name, id you working with in forum and google, see if got bad reviews or problems. you might be shocked by what you find. oh and always remember there is no such thing as FOC. if they put FOC must be already included in other places! firms at expo or with bigger showrooms are usually more ex. firms with case trust and hdb registered also more ex. if no issues with budget can go to big firms with case trust and hdb registered. pay more but should be reliable. but please still do simple forum and google search for reviews. if want cheap want good, do more homework or get recommendations from trusted people around you. quality better see finished projects and talk to other customers feel yourself.
  14. u can search how they get HDB approved. there are quite a few rules so generally more reliable. same advice i give, before you pay search the company and id guy u work with on renotalk and google see if got bad reviews. better to get recommended contractors or go see his shop and finished projects.
  15. i met with more than 10 different id and contractors. before u go, do your homework search renotalk and know the market rate for every item. e.g. solid top got china and lg, what is normal rate?some id can charge carpentry cheap but other items ex. get a few more quotes for same job u will be surprised how much difference it is. you can read the renoblog below, his quotes was between 30k to 97k. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=39266&st=0&p=625173&hl=+blve%20+blue&fromsearch=1entry625173 read more renoblogs, see more quotations. before u decide, do a simple search on the company and ID on renotalk and google see if there are any bad reviews or feedback.
  16. pls pls search abt the company or contractor on renotalk or google before paying! search the company name and ID name, see if they are HDB registered, read if there are bad reviews or the id firm changed name but same boss. or else money lost takes too much time and hard to get back. even if u go to case spend so much time, may not get money back. no choice must take it as a lesson and share the bad (and good) ids. what goes around come around, hope all dishonest ids get what they deserve
  17. i never engaged them before but you can search them in this forum and online. this guy got many quotes from many IDs and compared prices. read for yourself. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=39266 read #1 and #58 http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=47061&st=0&p=694247&hl=+blve%20+blue&fromsearch=1entry694247 this thread got responds from lamidoor http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=47703&st=0&p=711293&hl=lamidoor&fromsearch=1entry711293
  18. think bb has split personality very tiring. it's all written up there. the threads were here few weeks ago. do u search a company before u pay so much money? if anyone kaypoh enough like me, just search lamidoor simon or blve blue on this forum. or go to google search. so easy and i cannot plant everything on internet right? i'm not the only one who suspect GENSNONO and not the only one accused of being james. everyone post negative comments is james or his fren? or maybe one of the investors who lost thousands? it makes me angry to see dishonest ppl. if u can find any good reviews feel free to share here. here is another renoblog that mentioned blve and blue. he got quotes from many IDs and also thought blve and blue is cheap. same job, end up quotes from 30k to 97k. guess who gave the 97k quote? go get few more quotes compare and do your homework take down the market rates per item ppl share in this forum. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=39266 i'm not going to post much here. blve and blue has my floor plan and know my personal details. not happy i say bad things come spray paint how? they talk like ah long. no need to believe me, read for yourself i have nothing to lose. i never choose them, no loss and can't say their work no good. the reviews and unprofessional management responds scare me off already. they also have so many management issues (not i say one read the drama they post). thank god i found a good id and just starting my renovation
  19. and i'm even more convinced that you are bb. god knows.
  20. no wonder one contractor got angry when i asked why he charge 1k when other people charge me 300. but i went through many quotations posted, never see before 1k haulage fee!
  21. it's funny how you still die die insist that i am James. if i'm james and don't want people to know my identity, why would i use the same phase? if i am not james, how would i know that he used that phase? my first post was a question and a fact that i read bad reviews. do a quick search on renotalk, you can easily find the threads but myidfactory thread disappeared. i asked if GENSNONO was from blve and blue as all his post recommends blve and blue. why he keep recommending but i saw bad reviews. he was the one who got aggressive and suddenly i'm being accused of being james. and when GENSNONO can't continue to let out too much details and defend blve and blue, suddenly blveblue joins in. if GENSNONO is a consumer like me, how do he know abt the james and the dispute? GENSNONO disappeared and started to post on other threads after i suspect that he's from blve and blue. his first few posts only recommends lamidoor. is GENSNONO and blve and blue the same person? only you (and god) knows. if both of u are the same, really shame on you. what goes around will come around. i cannot sue you because i'm not james. i'm not going to waste any more time with you. you have already shown how unprofessional and rude to the point of being childish in your comments. none of the links i found contain anything positive. consumers should do their research and make an informed choice. even if showroom look very nice, sales people sound very convincing, what you see may or may not be what you get. when there are disputes, how will the management handle? i prefer to go with ID firms recommended by trusted people or the renoblogs which really shows from the selection of IDs, the progress and comments with photos. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=47061 http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40819&st=40 http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30320 http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/money-mind-210/land-banking-land-international-far-east-land-wealth-centre-2624724.html http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/land-international-far-east-land-wealth-centre-c327894.html
  22. is GENSNONO the same person as Blveblue? since GENSNONO can no longer defend blveblue without exposing the true identity, blveblue suddenly joins in. your comments are really unprofessional and rude for a big ID firm. i WAS honestly a potential customer. we went to the showroom, saw the laminated insides, got a quote and was really interested. but before i put down my money, i came into renotalk to search for any reviews. after all, if you are charging pvc prices for laminate insides it sounds too good to be true and there must be many customers right? what i was concerned is whether you can deliver the same good quality on time and without trouble. quality in showroom might not be equal to what is delivered. but when i came into renotalk, i found 2 threads, one on blve and blue and one on myidfactory. the reviews are not good. one customer who had their carpentry work delayed again and again got worried and search about the company and the boss. i was uncomfortable about what i read and wanted to show my wife to make an informed decision. when i tried to find the threads, it disappeared and all i saw was GENSNONO comments all about how good and cheap lamidoor is. no more mention of myidfactory. it seemed very fishy to me and i left a comment. and if GENSNONO is really a customer, why would he be so agitated and started mentioning James Tey who i have never heard of. then blveblue came threatening to sue. how do they make money if they charge pvc prices for laminate insides and still maintain such a big showroom? profits must come from somewhere. i saw most of their basins going for more than 200, while you can get that from hoe kee for 100-200. their quotations for other works are more expensive than market rate too. anyone can get a quotation and compare for themselves. i don't mind paying slightly more for service and a reliable firm, but your attitude and reaction to bad comments are truly unprofessional. all i can say is i'm glad that i did not put any money down yet.
  23. so u finally came out to the open. as a consumer, i'm not interested in your management disputes. GENSNONO posts does look like advertisements, god knows who he/she is. i don't think i'm accusing anyone. whether or not it is true, i'm just sharing what i read from a fellow forum's experience. i believe that she has lodged a complaint to CASE. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40819&st=40 Posted 03 August 2011 - 12:48 PM anyway to update ... my id just ran off with my $$ of 11.8k and i have made a police report on him as well as the companies involved and its currently pending commercial crime investigations .. For the company that I have made a cheque deposit to i have also logged a CASE as well as small case against the owner .. pending 2nd interview with the honor for his judement although the owner claims he is innocent and that that idoitic id (or i shall call him pig "same as his surname really befitting) he doesnt know him very well but who cares he did bank in the 1st cheque and thus he accepted my job via that "pig" so if he is innocent and nt that "pig" accomplice then he also very suay .. Have been talking with alot of lawyers and very grateful of them to give me sound advices on how and what to proceed as well as analyse my case for me (without $ yet) .. will leave contacting them for professional service as last resort ($$$) .. For my home, have got a friend brother in law (whom is a contractor) to help me do up the stuffs (which is all the items i required ..) .. Also settled my ventilation fans issues in the bathroom , my contractor is going to do my ventilation fan in bathroom up in the false ceiling of my bathrooms (he will customize for me) just like his home and this is cheaper than replacing the windows and also he will be putting a grid protection for the blower and exhust part for protection With the effect of the lost of the very significant amount, i have also increased my scope of work to include more items so make it more worth my 30+k reno (incuding the amt that "pig" absconded with but i will still try ALL MEANS To get back my $$ regardless form who or whom ..) God BLESS ME ...
