You can also engage direct contractors like you have suggested doing it yourself and save some money. The only problem is you have many parties to coordinate and be at site many times. Also need to coordinate with different contractors when plans changes or modifications arise. There are also direct contractors who do multiple trades or works and reduce the amount of coordination needed. I did mine using one contractor K with own workers covering hacking, tiling, painting, electrical, plumbing, ceiling and laminate flooring. If you are keen, I can PM you his contact.can PM me contact pls.. thanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aurora83 1 Report post Posted December 5, 2012 They are responsive and workmanship good by my standard, don't know about yours. One experience which I am impressed, the boss came in after they install a third of the mosaic wall in my toilet. He told his workers to hack and redo at his material costs as he is not happy with the alignment. Mosaic at $19 per sheet of 300 x 300 is not cheap. I only realized that when I came in and asked him what happened to the nearly half done mosaic wall? I would say they are contractor but more like ID with added advantage of having own workers of hacking, tiling, painting, plumbing, electrical, ceiling partition, marble polishing, laminate floor installation and carpentry. They handled the whole house renovation and I deal with only one guy.Can you give me his contact please? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
