ckoonyin 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 No pics yet so jsut write more first... Just called BSC, they going to hand over to me by this sat, then i take photo of my new tiles and then post here k! But I wanna complain! (1) I relay all my tiles, BSC charging me for sand ~ 300 bucks, and skirting 250 x 2 . Cos initially I changed my parquet skirting to tiles, then I decided to change ALL the tiles as BSC die die dun want to change for me.. so they do my new skirting with my NEW tiles.. so now, they charge me another 250 ~ for the labour! How! CAn I complain or appeal to any one? (2) My tiles initially ID say got 10%, then invoice come, i only see 5%. Ask him to check with the Company then he say now only give 5% cos of transportation hike and material costs going up.. sian half.. $$$$ fly again... How!!! I feel they are down right trying to cheat you already like wat i told u that time......depends on how big u wan to blow this up, HDB, MP or press........your choice.... As for the tiles, wat u mean 10% ah? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLIM 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 Will be at my place around 10am on Sat Just come up. Also think you can fight your way for the skirting . First thing you can argue is if they re-lay the tiles , it is BSC's job to put back your orginal skirting ( we pay for it since we are the premium flat ). But then you decide to change so it is material cost which is $250 leh . How can they charge twice ? Write to HDB . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where got such thing. The first time you change the wood to tiles already $250. But since you re-lay everything with new tiles which you already purchase that should include the laying of new skirting. Even contractors, Id charge for laying tiles and this sum already include the skirting leh. Tell him if like that , you will write to HDB and cc to your T.O for black and white .

Tell him if like that , you will write to HDB and cc to your T.O for black and white . honestly i think it is not right. 1 thing to note is that what they are doing is actualy a private arrangement between u and the contractor who is doing the BSC work. HDB may not be aware of this practice..........perhaps u may wanna heads up to them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have also asked them to replaced my parquet skirting with tiles. (that was the first $250 charged). After that, when BSC replaced the hollow tiles and did a wash, the new replaced tile tone is very different and obvious and obviously, some of the old tiles were still stained. I ask BS to relay all my tiles but they refused. So I super sian, decided to come up with my own money and buy my own tiles... It was agreed that the labour for relaying is FOC. Then got another shock, BSC told me after hacking, some floor dunno what very hollow, so I got to fork out money to buy the sand.. As I just want it to over and done with, I say "ok, i will pay for the sand " which is like 300 bucks. Now they are relaying my tiles and i got to fork out another $250 for the skirting AGAIN. Justifiable to charge another 250 bucks? I finding firepower to "shoot" them... Now shoot them no good, later they screw up my tiles.. anyhow whack. Sibeh sian... Where got such thing.

Like dat spoil relationship man.. later they anyhow whack my new tiles.. Btw, normally how many pieces of drawing ur ID normally provide? My ID say very hard to change drawing once done.. and he dunno what I want so hard to draw.. Hmm cannot draw before I decide what to buy? Tot its suppose to be his PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVES and IDEA first before I decide what to buy meh? How come its the other way round - must decide what i want to buy first before he draw??? Even living room drawing also can provide though I haven decide my sofa and coffee table right.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunBun 5 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 strange that you should rack up abit more just to get BSC to relay tiles. Better still, shoot email to your TO. Have it in black and white their reply also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolute crap.............he will need to give a a drawing 1st den u decide if u are ok with it, if not give him your changes and he will need to re-draw again. Why? So that u can visualise your house before the actual renovation starts. But of course, don't keep changing la. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DLIM 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 You can go for a theme first ? Then ask him to design. Meanwhile go library and borrow magazines . I like those thick thick chinese ones as they got alot of pictures . You can have better ideas what you want . But you can definitely ask for changes for the 3D drawings.
