blackcar 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) didn't know that yours is also under uncle Yes, u can share your experience and let potential sooners knows what are the problems faced. the good and the bad... Yes, i m one of ah soon customer. My experience with ah soon, the feeling is the same for all the rest of the general renovation contractors. You got to FOLLOW UP closely, thats all. Not too sure for ID standard, i mean those REAL ID firm, not those replica one. Like those employ a designer and claims to be ID firm. Ah soon hometeam is no difference from the rest of the general contractors, u got to monitor them closely as you r the one staying there. As usual, be it ah soon or others contractors, at times they will usually give crap story and reason for doing yr reno works. Reason for being is that, fast and easy job which translate into cost saving for them!!! My advise is that you got to be firm with them. Here are the afew examples from - the contractors:- 1) u know, i arrange liao, but the contractors didnt turn up, no choice rite, hope u can understand 2) for this kind of price u r paying is consider cheap liao, u shld understand and hopes u bear with it!!! 3) i m so chiam, always kena scolded by the owner for not being understanding this one is super classic 4) U didnt tell me leh!!!! 5) i m sorry, is my fault!!! 6) dont worry, after u move in, then if got problems we will come back!! here is my reply to the above 5 pointers 1) that is yr problem, not mine, why are u telling me yr problem?? U r suppose to arrange not me rite? 2) ya cheap and reasonable is a great difference, yrs is reasonable not cheap, cheap means for carpentry work $10 psf is consider cheap, yrs is $100 over is reasonable. 3) play along with them, sigh along 4) when comes to make the final balance payment, siam them, give them the reason bcos they didnt tell or reminds u 5) tis one, got to curse him liao, no choice 6) for wat i need u to come back, i hate to stay in then reno still on-going, either u do it now or i deduct from the payment. I m no difference fm the rest, me too had a few issues with ah soon hometeam, but manage to reason out with them and get it done to my requirement. I must say, for that kind price i m paying, is defintely worth it. IS NOT CHEAP, IS REASONABLE. Edited July 15, 2009 by blackcar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
