I found Ronald by reading renotalk T-blogs.
I spoke to a two IDs and decided to entrust my renovation to Ronald for my first BTO flat.
Why I decided to engaged him?
⦁ Licensed by HDB, case trust, etc. Thus, my hard earned money won't disappear into thin air.
⦁ He's straightforward, I was glad that I didn't have to face those made up excuses that other t-bloggers have mentioned (like how their contractors/IDs spin some fancy stories when there's a disagreement).
⦁ With his years of experience, he suggests appropriately to my needs. I have never felt pressurised, neither was there any hard sales tactics involved.
⦁ Completed within schedule. Although he's busy, he somehow manages to organise workers to get things done. Simply drop a reminder will do.
⦁ He was very approachable,I have texted on furnitures/electronics, and he replied with advice – important for first time home owners with no prior experience with all these big ticket purchases.
⦁ There was no packages gimmick. The IDs I visited had packages. But after after adding stuff into the packages, there's no real savings from the IDs. Ronld's quotation was competitive with other ID. My wife and I chose Ronald because he was more experienced and the quotation was realistic.
⦁ There was also no price shock during the renovation. I expected that after the first quotation and midst of renovating, there may be topping up of items. Prior to making any decisions, the prices are provided by Ronald so I could be mentally prepared on the expected cost. The revised quotation was accurate, and I didn't felt shortchanged.
