Can I Let Other Contractors Look At Other Contractor Quotation?

Oh that is indeed a good response to give them.

You are right, if so many receipts, can they do my new unit good?

You are right!

Haha...nice eh??

But you haven't got the complete sarcasm yet; the point is to say "I don't want to screw up YOUR schedule" and see their mouth drop open as they realised their trick had backfired on them.

However please, don't judge anyone with this lah; always the quality and service. Sales pitch everyone will make one, otherwise how to do business? Someone who make a lousy sales pitch (like this "show-customer-their-receipts" trick) doesn't mean their work is no good.

Yeah that is why I told him that I want to see their showflat, near completion is the best.

But then my wife told me he might bring you to one of the best unit for you to see.

My wife told me to actually ask for a few units so that we will really know the quatlity and worksmanship.

Do you know that there are contractors/IDs bringing people to flats not done by them?? My flat is at a new estate with alot of uncles and aunties downstairs. One of them even had to cheek to make me that 'indecent proposal' for him to bring people to see my flat, promising me a small amount of payment.

Anyway, 'fake' showflats aside, even if they bring you their best units also doesn't matter; as long as they can do up such unit then its good enough lor. Sometimes reno depends on the location, condition of the flat and other unforeseen circumstances.

Oh then that is bad to bring someone to another contractors showflats.

That is cheating on customers!

How to prevent this?

Erm usually quite hard to detect unless you force the contractor to show you all the documents for the showflat, eg receipts, reno permits, drawings, etc. But the thing is these uncles and aunties contractors always work with each other, so they can easily pass off the documents by saying its their sister company or group of companies, etc. Even those photo albums you see at the contractor's office can also be of another flat.

Anyway don't worry lah, this doesn't happen very often. Usually they will help each other out by using other people's flat as showflat, so I was quite amused when he asked me directly. Maybe I look like a contractor or that he is really desperate lor.
