The Chow's Residence

Recommended Posts

Been sooo long since i last posted. Just wanna say that... Choosing Posh home is one of our biggest mistake ever. Initially didn't want to make it public, but we cant take it anymore. Will elaborate it once the house is done with renovations. But then again, it might not be Posh Home's fault, might just be the ID.

lol i always thought that leon one is a showcase for their company. never even seen them before prior to that blog

Hi Wei Ting, please share your experience. They were one of the ID firms we spoke to during the ID selection stage. Was a big disappointment. Had high hopes for them during the 1st meetup

I prefer not to disclose my ID openly. Maybe you can let me knoe yours and I'll tell you if he/she is the one. But then, I personally feel that the firm is ok, just need to get the correct ID. Our issues were resolved eventually; though not 100% to our satisfaction, but we accepted because we afraid that things might get worst if we insist on.

Did you supervise the works? The following is my advice:

Monitor, monitor, monitor - No matter how renowed or expensive your ID or subcontractor, the level of competency and common sense is at the level of their lowest sub-contractor. We engaged a reputable ID company. But of course, you deal with the young designer who gives instructions to some supervisor, who in turn instructs a foreman, but finally the worker who does the job is a guy who turns up on a Malaysian motorbike. Don't get me wrong. Many malaysian workers in this trade are very skilled. But due to many reasons including different expectations or ideas, changes in the message after being passed through too many people, the final product may not be what you envisaged. You have got to be there to monitor, monitor, monitor.

Sorry to hear about your plight. I didnt quite like what I've seen from LJ blog about Poshhome.

Guess it is more of a personal liking and preference. As Uncle Toh said, always monitor and also communicate.

Not sure - Ask. Dont know - Ask. Not confirm - Ask. Never assume.

Did you supervise the works? The following is my advice:

Yes, we supervise during the major reno works (e.g. carpentry, painting, partitions and false ceiling etc) and was at the hse almost every day to check on the progress and defects.

Anyway, the renovation was completed a week or 2 before CNY and things been ok so far. Its the progress that is frustrating. If we are not so ge gao, the quality will not be as good. I've received a few PMs about Posh Home and these home owners got similar plight as well. I still think the firm is ok, might be the ID, but it seems like there are other IDs that are also like mine. A friend's brother unknowingly engaged Posh Home as well, and we didnt know until he was complaining to us. So a piece of advice to those engaging PH - REALLY need to monitor.

Wow. Really sorry to hear that. I thought the whole point of getting an ID is to give peace of mind and not having to monitor the renovation progress. Sounds like this guy isn't making your work any easier. Do share with us what happened even if you don't wish to disclose the ID. Think bad work needs to be publicised as much as good work.

Fa,
