fastfirefish 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Just to update on my situation, turn out that he is not lying, the tiles were indeed finished up, except for some skirting. Not to side him or something but just feel that credits should be given when its due. Edited November 10, 2009 by fastfirefish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
user101 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2009 wah so strong words used.... i like.... anyway what happened to ah soon loyal supporters..normally when people say bad things about ah soon... they r the first to back him up... after all this airplane, broken promises....suddenly quiten down... anything to comment on this issue I'm not against anybody, I just find it unbelievable how people can take all the sh*t from this "superstar" Ah Soon. If it is not for this forum, I believe he will be out of business long ago. Break & Stop this "Herd instinct" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samdolmat 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2009 After reading this thread, I think I'll give Ah Soon a miss. I ready need to you people. Spend money, yet need to him to do his job. Herd instinct? No matter how good this Ah Soon is, flying airplane on customer, empty promises, 4 month reno is unacceptable. Why spend money and yet need to chase after him to complete his jobs? I feel that, You guys here should ban him to let him know he is not the only contractor around. wah so strong words used.... i like.... anyway what happened to ah soon loyal supporters..normally when people say bad things about ah soon... they r the first to back him up... after all this airplane, broken promises....suddenly quiten down... anything to comment on this issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seashell 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2009 I've noticed that my renovation permit that Uncle has applied for me has already passed. Is this normal? Will he usually go and apply for another or is he going to carry out the renovation work "secretly"? fff, has ur tiling completed? normally permit is required for tiling works only. so if finished, other things do not require a permit.. hows ur progress...

Guest Goobii Report post Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Ah Soon too many clients and too busy. If you don't mind the 2nd best person to find as contractor listed in the forum is MR BK 91083038 , slightly more expensive but provide good advise and quality services . He specialise in PTE property and can give idea of how the rich people do their condo or landed property to suit your HDB style.

SmallCarrot 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2009 sigh by a certain Late stage, houseOwners usually dun hav $$$ to sue or do anyth else!!! If your time is money then you have to look for more expensive contractor who pay OT to workers and premiums to suppliers to jump queue. After 1 month of discussion with Ah Soon I decided to pay for more for time delivery. According to my contractor, now it is the peak time and doing reno now will cost you 20% more. Alot of workers are all taken up and even my contractor said his jobs queue until next year and he rejected all new business honestly. Ah Soon spent slot of time to take down the details but the main problem is he cannot write english and he is poorly educated. His delivery also depend on other sub-con and many complaints of delay when these sub-con bought over and sabo by other contractor. If you have a place to live and time to wait, Ah Soon is the cheapest and most honest contractor in Singapore. I will vote for him as no.1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
