how do we know the Patrick & Ah Keong contacts given are real? I cannot find Ho Bee biz listings as well. Can someone post some info that we can be sure of getting the real persons?

that's a good question

guess the best way would be to enlist the help of a forummer who is using ho bee, go down to the actual site to meet up with patrick or ah keong !!

but seriously, with so many forummers using ho bee

don't you think at least one of us will stand up and point out that the contact details posted are not real?

just scroll back to the previous pages, think patrick's hp no. are given at least twice

!!

I finally make my first appointment with patrick...his schedule is so full...

i can only meet him on next monday7pm.

Ya, patrick's schedule is sooooo full!! My goodness!! You will have to 'book' him like 1 week in advance in order to meet up with him.

When i received the quotation from him, I told him I am ok. Can he start the reno immediately. He say no. He need to go and take actual site measurement. That time i fix appt with him, i got to wait 1 week later. But last min, i got urgent things to do. Cant meet. Need to re-fix appt. Is another week. So total is 2 weeks just to have the 1st meetup with him. Now in fact I am hesitating whether should I engage Ho Bee since patrick is so busy. I was wondering next time need to go factory to select tiles with him or meet up with him for other reno discussion, got to wait weeks after weeks.

My 1st meetup with him is also next Mon. I ask does he need to bring along his carpenter, ah keong? he say no need. He can take measurement and pass it to him. If ah keong don't come, how is he goin to tell me what design and wat material he will be using for the carpentry work huh?

I feel like giving up the thoughts of engaging ho bee :lol:

think patrick is busy doing up someone's place bah

i'd rather have a person who can't meet me bcoz he is working on existing project than someone who can meet me anytime coz after signing he dun care :lol:

think dun have to meet ah keong together one, you can meet ah keong separately

i believe the base material for the cabinets are the same i.e. solid ply

the only difference is the laminate etc :)

personally i am going to meet him again this sat

feel very satisfied with him coz i change the quotation at least 5 times but he still obligingly provided it everytime :P

i met up with ah keong separately and discussed what i wanted for the kitchen though, without patrick...

Got a rough quotation from patrick thru email (took less than a week) - doing up tilings for the whole house, cornic in LR/DR, plumbing works and kitchen cabinet

For a new standard 3Rm... hmmm... 10K after discount... sigh. Maybe need him to come to the flat after getting keys for accurate measurement/design ideas and another rd of quotation
