hi km-foo, i can recommend my contractor to you if you are keen. i used his service for my house 8 years ago and will be using him again for my new house.

initially i wanted to try out ho bee since he is so highly recommended in this forum. they gave me a quote and after comparing, my first contractor's quote is still cheaper so i stayed with him.

he is very reliable and honest, just like patrick. the only thing is i have to keep chasing him for quotation (i think he is very busy). his carpentry work are also of very good quality, all my carpentry work in the old house is still going strong except for scratches and stickers all over (done by my kids).

pm me if you want his contact number.

Can pm me ur contractor's number? Thx!

Here to recommend a contractor whom my family has been using for decades. My parents HDB was purchased 23years ago and the apartment was renovated by Pagoda Building Contractor: Alan. I have no idea what they were called 23years ago, but now they are called Pagoda Building Contractor.

The things that he build really last (i don't mean NEW now) but as in it is durable at least especially for the kitchen cabinet. Jo (his son) is currently liaising on his behalf and he is prompt in his response too. It is just a family business I think but with very good and experience workforce I feel.

Fast forward to 2012 when I received keys to my HDB, is only natural that I went back to the same contractor. Alan knew that I was really on a tight budget, very tight. So for every suggestions that I think I can do, he will also remind me that "erm this is more expensive" or "if you wanna hack walls, that require a PE and the cost for engaging a PE is already $x etc etc". Very honest person also.

The thing I spent most during my renovation is the kitchen cabinet (flooring using the HDB ones - big regret). Based on Alan's experience, he advices that the kitchen cabinet sink area has to use cement (he told me those contractor promise you what solid wood what wood etc all can last are all lies). Okay, I don't believe whoever says what, I believe in what I see, used and experienced for the past 23years in my parents house where the kitchen sink is still standing strong. So yes, cement it shall be.

Okay anyway, all I did was a very very simple renovation at only 4 digit Sing Dollars but are quality products even though simple:
- Kitchen cabinet (just the bottom, L-Shape) solid wood, cement at sink area

- Service Yard Windows

- 2 Shower Screens

- Change the toilet doors

Everything else DIY.

- Lights installed by dad

- Mirror cabinet installed by dad & hb

- Painting by everyone

- Wall shelves installed by hb

Anw, after I changed my toilet door, my dad like it and change it for his own flat too.

Hi, is his quotation price reasonable? Mind sharing it with me?

Hi all

I would like to share about the contractor I'd engaged a few years ago for my current 4-room flat and am planning to again for my new apartment. Had thoughts about getting ID initially but it seems I'd managed to save a lot of money last time getting  a contractor instead of ID as I had a pretty clear idea of what I prefer, so better go through the same route again. My contractor was very humble n easy going who gave great practical advice to accommodate to my needs (I did want a lot of things for my first abode, maybe too much). He was very patient and open to negotiations and his workers were all very meticulous in their work. We find them reliable and were very pleased with our first house and would like to recommend him to anyone who is interested. Only thing is he is not very well versed in English and we had a slight delay in getting everything done, probably due to our fussiness as well. Anyway if anyone is interested can pm me for contacts. 

Cheers
