Congrats on your new home!

Wah!! The house condition worse than mine...

I also have very tight budget... Initially looking at $12k and below but the cheapest quote stills works out to be 20+k... Still in the mist of negotiating with the contractor - trying to do away with some item...

Which Id/contractor did you engage?

All the best to your reno ya

Hi guys, after more then 3weeks he called me. That was when I got his add and my bro n me when to the add to look for him. He was not around, there where ppl at home told us that he as gon out. We dint say that thing to them, we just informed them that as Id to call us back. After that day then he called me.

When he called me, he say he got send out Email to me about his missing. Which I didn't not get. Then he sayed he will meet up with me in 2 days time.

We meet at the place where our Reno is going on, he looked very sad and not feeling well. I asked him wat is going on, it's beer more then 1 month any work is done. How long more do I have to wait? He toled me that he will start work in 2 days.

The 2 days came, but no one to work (Reno). Call call.… no ans. Next day he SMS me and toled me that he got no funed now, will start work Monday ( 9 May) which is tml. I called him today no ans. Can't one can tell me will his work start soon? I can have a very bad time 17k!!! How can ppl do this? How come the gov not doing anything abou it? Such this have been happening for may years.

I read about making a report is nathing to them, then how to get back the money. When then, end of the day I have no place to stay until I have a toilet! I am staying with my mum n dad who are old. They also can not sleep well cos of this reno. I am worred and hopeless.

I have sent him txt's & email but I did not meet up or know him. Based on some threads here, believe there are many RenoTalkers have had engaged with him. Probably you can try to understand from them & situation may not see what you have thought.

I guys, date no improvement. On 12 May I call him 3 x, and msged him. No reaply, at night I SMS him 'r u testing me'. He got angry with me and reapllyed he will run way if I keen on pushing him. And no one will be able to do anything about it.

Wat dos that mean? He is so strong that nathing will happen even we make report? So wat dos the Police n Gov doing ? Everyone say Sg is a safe place to stay if any one try to be funny will have to pay for it. I don't think so, if ppl like him can reaply that way.

Come on ppl how many of u guys out there got it to the same problem n got back ur money?

Pls don't wait anymore .... report police, report to CASE, report to Strait Times!

I find it strange that you would pay him 17k upfront. Usually the money is paid in stages, upon completion of certain portion of the works. This will be stated in the contract.

[sahabudeen 0]

I have paid 2 x. First when I sign, 2nd when the work started. The work when on for about 1 week plus, I asked him when will the rest come he told me will start soon after toilet tiles r done. Even the tiles not up he when missing!
