Cos I have heard about many reno company outsource to 3rd party contractor to do the work.actually alot of ID do not have their own carpentry factory wan leh. But they do have a group of carpenters they always work with and those carpenters may hav their own factory lor. I think thats what the IDs meant when they say they have their 'own' carpenter factory.. means they have their 'own' list of usual carpenters.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm satisfied with their workers workmanship when I went there. I have not view any current projects. Perhaps I will request to do so before signing contract with them. I guess I'm too kiasu kiasi bah, thats why oso checking their carpentary workers details. haha...actually alot of ID do not have their own carpentry factory wan leh. But they do have a group of carpenters they always work with and those carpenters may hav their own factory lor. I think thats what the IDs meant when they say they have their 'own' carpenter factory.. means they have their 'own' list of usual carpenters..OIC. so meaning the warranty given by these IDs will be from those 3rd party contractors indirectly...

lynzi 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2007 I only managed to view 1 of their projects. I requested to do so before making up my mind to sign on the dotted line as at that point of time, me and hubby had also placed deposits with 2 other reno companies. We kiasu ah..hehe So...latest update on my 1st day of reno works. At 9plus just now my hubby dropped by to see the progress. They had dismantled and taken down the old kitchen cabinet and hacked the mbr toilet. Hubby said only 2 workers doing at that point of time. Quite fast ah. Hope everything goes well!

lynzi 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2007 Oh no no! We got back all the deposits because before we pay any deposit we made sure that the deposit is refundable if we decided not to take from them. We also made sure that they wrote it in the contract and not just saying it by mouth. Hubby also informed them that we are considering from other companies too so that they will give their best in the perspective drawings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynzi 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2007 Was so busy yesterday. Did not have any time to check on reno's progress. But according to warderz, my reno was going fine cos he can hear the hacking from his unit...haha!Today also looks like another longer day..sigh. Hopefully I will have time to drop by later after work. Maybe tomorrow I can go off from work by 2plus n oversee my reno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
