How Much Cpf Money Is Used? Wiped Out Totally?
VVV replied to 3Dyms's topic in Finance and Insurance
to prevent CPF OA from wiping out if taking HDB loan, just open an broking account and buy some stocks or bonds or pref shares in the market under CPF first. -
my Ktichen experience: for me personally biggest problem face are : 1 - How to get a Good a ID from so many around; majority salesmen are not professional looking and most look like Ah Bengs that look like they are out to rip me off Or will not entertain you much if your budget is low. After I signed up with my ID, i feel the breakdown of cost price actually are Bull**** as its actually the whole kitchen cost how much and use what materials ( eg. i am not sure why he recommend LianHin Quartz top vs Iquartz ? is suspect after that maybe Lianhin can bring him more margin and somemore i regret a bit because Iquart got more colors to choose from.) (eg. similarly there are so many types and name of Cabinets laminates and he didnt tell me which are the newest and costlier one ? same all ? or he pushing the older design one which can bring him more profit margin ?) 2 - Not getting Prompt respond from my ID ( half hour is my limit personally. One ID firm lost my tiny deal because she reply me back 4 hours later. She told me she in a meeting? i suspect later that she is just a junior Id and not really authorise to quote me prices and she got to wait for her Senior to get the the quotation for me) 3 - Complicate with the fact that Cabinets are made from Malaysia thus timing unsure and ID's co-ordiantion with subcontractors..and also I notice some Sub-contractors of ID' firm are a bit of Luck factor. ( lucky if manage to engage good wrokers (eg1. cement base (mine was slant by a noticeable few cm, but i let it go as its not visible when the cabinets are out up) (eg2 - the Quartz top worker came up 2 times to my home without knowing that nobodys at home). 4 - I had to call my ID few time what to do next instead of him calling me what he will do next. (eg. when the Cement base worker coming ? at what stage should call citygas ? or he should be the one calling etc ? i ended up having to pay $70 more for express citygas to open the gas because my ID didnt advice me in advance and do not feel like waiting 4 more days while the kitchen is ready now) like i say there are too many parties involve but i guess this is unavoidable unless the renovation company is a very sizable one with ongoing projects whole year round. Then they are actually can have their very own Base cement workers, Plumbing team, Cabinets workers team etc. The problem now is during peak months when subcontractors are busy with others IDs firm then delay will be expected or shabby work potential. so far this is what i can think of.. cheers

My Id Left The Company, Signed Renovation Package How?
VVV replied to MelanieTan's topic in Renovation Packages
so unfortuntate. if i were you i will consider the worst scenerio (and consult CASE and bang on their office often and name the ID firm here). I will get another ID firm as it will give me better piece of mind. You might get more problems and issue even if you decide to engage them from what i see...cheers. -

Finally Sign With Him After Shortlist/view More Then 20+ Id...
VVV replied to luvhenny's topic in Renovation Packages
I not the sort who will go down bang table one lor because its about attitude problem..and those ID, if not majority of them in industry, are something like working on their own..something like insurance agents, using their company name and contacts for contracters etc..so complain to me is useless unless its a reno fault or workmanship problem.. think most of the problem arise because there is no centralise team to do all in one..each one do their own..thus renovation will always got probem -

VVV replied to luvhenny's topic in Renovation Packages
When too many ask for intro i will avoid..can he concentrate on so many..good luck -
Dont you think so ? Wait for quotation.... wait for ID to get back to you promptly... wait for their contractor to confirm time to come.... wait for your stuffs like sink, hood, basin to arrive..... there are so many layers and parties involve... reason is a lot of parties involved are from malaysia thus got to wait and wait....sibei sian...
