Monkey 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) More picture...Kitchen not done yet as the tiles provided by HDB is not to my liking so I got my own tilesCommon BathroomP.s. Veri upset with HDB today... I had left a key with the TO so that he and his contractor can have access to my house. My kitchen is still not done yet (As it should be done on last Tue) as the Contractor claim he have not got the key despite the fact I personally instructed the TO to give to key to the contractor 2 weeks ago. The contractor also did not do bother to connect back the waterpoint in my toilets (See pic abv) and left all the debris inside the toilets. (Had personally instructed him to clean up before start of relaying tiles.Had ask the TO to get someone to patch up the wall near to the skirting as it is damage during the hacking of floor tiles but it was also badly done. Couldn't find a single person on Fri and I will make sure my point is make on Mon... Edited August 11, 2009 by Monkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monkey 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) I really want to salute my TO. Me and My ID was suppose to meet him today (Mon) at 1100am to discuss the things that were outstanding. We told him specifically to wait for us as since he and the contractor screw up. We reach at 1130am but was shock to find no one there. He left a piece of paper on the wall and say he got a meeting and gotta go and will call us in the afternoon. But his contractor also not around. Went for meeting also??? WTF? The works is already outstanding for 2 weeks. He called only at 5pm and told me the problems that we highlighted will only be done when the kitchen tiles is lay. I query him why is there a delay in giving the keys to the tiles contractor and he told me they were waiting for 1 another to call. WTF? He sound as though he got nothing to do with it.I ask for his HP number so it's easier to contact him (Veri difficult to reach him in office, worse than my SVP) He refused and doesn't sound happy. I guess this is the final draw for me, I will most likely be lodging an official complaint against him. I will get my ID contractor to finish his work. I know most likely I can't get HDB to remiburse the $ but I will make sure he and the contractor also go down. Anyone know where to get the TO superior contact info?Pictures of the screw up by HDBStudy Room and Toilet rooms not fix back (The MBR and 2 BR Dr is fix back when the tiling is completed)My toilet bowl which is lying around in Service Yard (My other toilet bowl is in another bathroom)Water point not fix back and the sink lying around in the bathroomThe only thing that they action fast is the slides on the windows, not that the TO is kind but because we decided not to pursue on the matter of scratches on the windows and out of goodwill we request all slides to be change.Am I the only one who is very upset with HDB? Is there anyone with similar experience? Houses are not cheap now and I think I deserve better service... Edited August 11, 2009 by Monkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
