Painting And Refurbishing Contractors’ Association

[zentheman 0]

Hello all,

Anyone can tell me about this association?

The short form is PRCA. Who are members of this association? Where is it located?

I cant seem to find any information about this on the web...

Maybe I got the spelling or wording wrong?

Thank you so much.

Hi there!

Has nobody got any comments or information of this association?

Or is this the right forum or slot to ask?

The reason is I want to find whether there are other painting contractors in Singapore who are also members of this Association.

Thanks for your comments.

Hello all,

Uh, still no comments from members or from the industry about the Painting And Refurbishing Contractors’ Association?

I saw on one website the PRCA's Code of Ethics . their list of Obligation of the Contractor and Obligation to the Consumer and I am impressed.

So I am seeking for other painting contractors in Singapore who are also members.

Any help or information is appreciated

Thanks

Hey all,

Look, I found this Code of Ethics.

If companies are willing to adopt this as their standard & live up to its core principles, consumers all around will all be in a very happy world!

Hi All,

The reason why I am pursuing this matter is because one Painter Company in Singapore, purportedly a member of this elusive Association which have such lofty ideals, broadcast to the world that it is an Accredited Member & it too operate its business with such worthy principles.

I was foolish enough to be taken in by their promise & their so called testimonials, so I engaged their services.

However, this is not what happened & the work didnt even turn out satisfactory.

So I am hoping to refer to the Association for some recourse to make good the poor workmanship as the company does not want to listen to my plight nor even bothered to reply my emails.

Any help is appreciated.

Any suggestion from moderators ?

Thank you

Bert
