czq82 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2009 Hi, Would like to find out, what is the correct handover procdure like for a home once house is complete, Should the contractor clean up the cement left behind after they touch up the grooves for tiles? As for the tiles with cement stains how to get rid of them? The grooves was redone as it was not acceptable as the color powder is in patches for the tile grooves. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beany0811 1 Report post Posted August 28, 2009 actually we would also like to know the way its done. are rectifications done b4 or after the handover? our ID told us the house would be ready for handover tomorrow he said he would pass us the key and lock it so no one else would be able to go in. so we start looking for defects after tt, get them to do rectifications, then when we're finally happy with everything, then pay up the last payment?

Nothing much u can do, post the company name here and pics of the defect. Then delay the balance payment of the 10% payment till they clear up all the recitification works, stand firm. This is SG, no worries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the cleaning i think he cannot be bother by the grill, for the amendment of the grooves of tile, the other time the contractor say still wan to charge me, as u say grills, i think if i call him clean he will charge me lor. A gentle reminder to all, pls choose a contractor that have done for your frens or families. Do not be like me any how find, i never knew this kind of thing can happen to me. Oh yah, another thing is for kitchen i was not nasty enough to ask them dismantle the whole thing, as the cupboard design was built without my acknowledge. No design was given to me, i only chose the s0olid top as well as the laminate. I should have been mean asked the person to dismantle the wh9ole cabinet. As the contractor was pressing me for the next 40%. Really regret dun be too nice to the person. As i have checked from frens that they should have shown us the design before we proceed. Lastly, a hint the shop is located at TPY....... I do not wan others to be con like me,. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
