potatoes 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2012 Hi Sunshine,You have a big kitchen!Yes, renotalk is the place whereby you can pick up others' comment to prevent the same thing from happening again during your reno. Also, over here we can learn alot of wonderful things from others as well. Met up with my coordinator during lunch time. She came out with all sort of reasons like the cabinet are all hand made and not be machine so definitely, there will have here and there not perfect !!! Waokao.. I told her this kind of standards is definitely not acceptable and i asked her, her company specialise in which type of door opening and i am willing to forego my original design for my top cabinet to suits their workmanship as long as they can give me a decent one. (Really very tire and i am no longer asking for perfect workmanship. As long as it is decent and presentable i will accept). Hope i am not asking too much with this request.Can anyone advise me how to deal with such situation?We all know that reno is a very tedious n tiring process. It drains us physically n mentally. That is why we need to be firm and let the ID knows what exactly we want and follow our spec. I m not a perfectionist too though my wife is.... But I have expectations. At the end of the day, u r paying the ID money and u n ur family will be enjoying the new place, not ur ID. In my opinion, I feel good if my $$ is well spent n seeing good workmanship makes me feel good. My 2cents worth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terrain1976 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2012 Bro sorry to learn that your contractor is doing such a job for youRelax hope u r able to settle the issue soon Thanks Casa. Met up with the company boss on last sat and he promised he will redo my top kitchen cabinet doors and partial of the area around the hob as it is really in "no eye see" standard. This is the last bit which is affecting my overall reno and considered settled after these doors are rectified i guess..Maybe to some of you here, the pics which i have attached above does not show much as camera is difficult to capture all the defects as compared to naked eyes. When i first sent the pics to the boss through mms, he also thought that these are alrite but he changed his view and totally agrees with me of their sub std work when he saw the real workmanship of his team. Anyway.. will just wait for the new doors for my top cabinets again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terrain1976 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2012 Agree with Batman, which ID is itHi EoneKhaled and Batman,Think i will not mention the company name(as of now)here. After all, i have seen their on going work at bishan(a 4rm) in march 2012 before i signed on the dotted line and their workmanship was pretty decent. Afterall, the boss is good in the way that he admitted is their fault when his team produced sub standard work and willing to change most of the lousy works instead of just doing rectification work of the affected areas. One thing which i am not happy is that i have actually paid slightly higher as compared to the "std market rate" as i was promised by them that they workmanship is guaranteed to be of slightly better thats why when i see those sub standard work quality, i was like ... what i have been told are not being delivered at all. Solid surface top, first sets which arrived chipped off at corner and they replaced with second time of brand new set.Left bottom cabinet, first set design was wrong and they removed and replaced with a brand new set as well.Lastly, top cabinet, first set the body warped, removed and replaced with brand new set. Second time, body ok but workmanship of the doors cannot make it... Got to remove and replaced with a new set of dorrs again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
