Cheer Wow it save me 10k. Good deal. I saw online most quotes 30~35k. Now financial crisis I hope contractors don't do cheating works like extending delivery date or bargain during constructions period. They could easily cut down the labour from 3 to 1 and do the work slowly. Instead of complete work in 3~4 weeks the contractors share labour in various projects and do in 8~12 weeks. Another thing is warranty. I want to pay for warranty instead of reputation. Edited July 16, 2009 by SmallCarrot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After saw your result i must say the quality is very good. How much time needed for discussion before the actual work really starts? So far I do not see anyone provide the service to polish/plaster the wall smoothly. What is this job call? I like smooth and flat wall and ceiling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the renovation, sad to say i got myself a terrible contractor tat got my reno delayed by 1 mth, so i l not recommend on him, but i do have a gd experience on getting myself a gd deal on laminated flooring, from the sales person to installation, its perfect n the floor range looks really cool, coz i bought thier vintage range, its looks like a real wood compare to many brands out there looks more fake n like plastic. i also tink its wise to contact them directly as u will get better offer. call Alex Aw at 9xxx xxxx if u need floorings, hes reliable.

santav 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 yaa....sad to say my contractor is also taking his own sweet time with my works.....(it's been 7weeks) and only wet works are almost completed. everyday only 1 to 2 workers showed up.....i got so fed up that i scolded him and tell him to put in writing a reasonable completion handover date, otherwise I will consider imposing a LD clause. however, i am thinking how am i suppose to call on the warranty (1yr) should the need arise since the final payment will be made upon completion and satisfactory handover. there's no retention sum or banker's guarantee like in other commercial contracts. so how to enforce our warranty rights?
