The hacking job had completed, next step is the wiring and plumbing job. The electrician use by my ID doesn't look cheap.Charging $46 for light point, $91 for 1x13 amp point, $104 for 2x13 amp point, $156 for SCV point $120 for heater,hob,hood switch,,,,etc. Total damage came close to $3k

My kitchen and bathroom tiles have arrived at the same time

This is my plumber 杰作

Does anyone know why you need to wrap a pipe up like this ?

Not sure why the drainage pipe from my basin has to run such a long distance to find it way home

The person who hack my bathroom wall and floor tiles accidentally damaged my aircon outlet pipe which is conceal inside the bathroom. My ID said he will get his aircon guy to replace the pipe, quote me $130 (.......yes I was told I have to pay.... ).......In the first place, he is trying to ask me to get my aircon contractor to come down to replace which I totally disagree. Finally, he said he will pay for the damage. I was told they are only responsible for other water inlet/outlet pipe in the bathroom which is including in the quotation.............so ridiculous ..... and unbelievable

MY ID is doing such a GREAT job,,,,everything is in smooth flow, hacking,wiring,plumbing,,,,,,,,,so smooth that he never keep us inform,,,,,,no update,,,,,,,,,take long time to answer your msg./ whatapp whatever.............and told you he will inform you two days ahead before the wiring guy come............And only called me 1& 1/2 hour before the wiring guy came to do the wiring job. So efficient.........We didn't even talk about any wiring issue beforehand.

Maybe that is the consequences I have to bear since I get most of the stuff by myself that he has very little 油水, maybe that is what he means by give and take...

To put it nicely, your ID does not look like the type with ownership or generosity. The little signs are there. If he didn't explicitly state (verbally or contract) that your stuff should be bought through him, he shouldn't act like a spoilt kid. Anyway most people will buy their stuff through their own channels for various reasons so it shouldn't be something extraordinary to him. Still if you are unhappy about his reno handling, you should speak to him firmly about it else the situation will tend to deteriorate making the relationship a tense one. Try to be present during the critical works when his workers are around so you can directly gauge whether your ideas were passed on correctly. Might also get better ideas from the workers.

Thanks for your advise. We did try to drop by our place and check on the work progress. His contractor are very professional and efficient. They did complain to me that he was always late, did not tell they the work details, like what tiles are for which area, did not order enough tiles that they have to finish job earlier etc.

I finally found out the reason he only show his face around 10am at my place -------to avoid paying erp charges since my place is very near CBD area

I think you shouldn't pay for the aircon damage. Instead, you should ask for compensation. Why? Because if the pipe is damaged, no matter how they sealed or join back, it's a point of weakness and it will leak, water condensation later. Happen to me before and the aircon service guy told me the joint is a point of weakness.
