Hello all, I posted here a couple of while back and would like to share my experience through the thread as I bumped into alot of troubles during ID selection. I called several of the numbers listed in threads around renotalk and was utterly disappointed at their service. yes some did admit that they self-advertised after meeting them but none... ZERO of them got back to me after coming to my new house to quote me. must be their business so good from finding people online that mine is too small for them huh. hubby and me went to IMM and a few other shops but also met with badluck since they only want to stay in their office and look at the floorplan to quote me.. they were big companies by the way. with one boasting 50 staffs another boasting 100 plus..made me feel really bad about myself like do i look too young or do i look poor. my hubby and i decided to hunt for contractors.. maybe we suay or i am hard to deal with hehh. so in my contractor hunting stage we found alot of malaysian contractors who could not provide good suggestion and just want things their way.. or will be singaporean contractor that honestly we did not find trusty and skyhigh price with one even hitting ID price. it was quite a huge sum of money to us as we are a new and young family but honestly we went to about 20 plus people. we did feel bad as we wanted to only go to 4 in order not to waste too much time. all in all we wasted about a months time taking leaves and meeting with subpar contractors and ids.

so in between this hooha we found an uncle and his son at our neighbors unit while we went to think about our house idea.. we managed to get him to quote us too and they were very steady to do so.. so his son came over and advise us telling us their he can give design idea but his dad is the technical man.. i thought to myself exactly what we are looking for. luckily they call themself contractor and give contractor rate. after awhile also i realize i saved his number from a thread who was recommending them but didnt get to call him. look like answer was in my phone all the while. he provided me with his quotation 4 days later and the price was quite competitive. what was funny was that that night i came onto renotalk again and checked my mail and realize he was also recommended by ANOTHER thread member who was renovating a mansionette. i went to talk a look at the thread and i decided not to to waste time liao. my hubby also agreed and the next day we sign the quotation alr.

so far we are looking at handover end of this month and hopefully can move in before 7th month ghost festival. so far the renovation process is very fast and run by the uncle himself. workmanship wise no complains also. did hit a few roadblocks here and there but manage to work our way around it. uncle told me most of his job is people refer one so i want to help him since he really advise me alot during this process. i am a very jumpy and insecure person also like to ask alot. so my advice to your forumners is to really not waste your time with self promoters here and find contractors who are really on the ground either renovating or meeting clients. i am happy with the uncle so far if you all need contact pm me. mine is a 4room bto flat bare unit by the way. hack wall painting and cabinets and flooring total damage 40k.

i know the son got come renotalk and read sometime so thank you to you both and good job so far! cannot wait to move in!

Hi Jullykhor can pm me the contact?
