    Hi All,

    Been awhile since last post.

    Stepping into next phrase of life like many others and realized that the renovation done years ago now became danger zones for kids.

    Trust this encounter is nothing new but somehow, only admit it as important after seeing kids running around at home.

    Maybe to list some here for others to consider and share:

    1. Sharp edges (Tables, TV console, Walls and many more) post as danger. Rubber protector available but kids will happily remove it.

    2. Glass as wall partition, shower screen, door: Especially for us, shower screen was only secured on 2 sides (top and entrance side are freed). While it is thick (10mm?), it does look dangerous if knocked hard enough. Not forgetting many incidents of knocking on glass wall/door. Now the glass door is no longer clear as many stickers have to be put up to prevent anyone from knocking it :) Anyone using plastics to replace glass?

    3. Mirror (toilets and cabinets): While it is relatively safe from knocking, it does post some dangers especially those on cabinet's doors. Manage to change the hinges to prevent the door from slamming. Cannot imagine if the whole piece of mirror fall.

    Feel free to add on other danger zones at home.

    CHEERS

    Look like whatever suggestions for them is not welcomed at all. So I think outsiders better keep clear and let them settle it among themselves. Good luck to all victims and jaskel. :yamseng:

    Haha....Bingo!

    This is not a place for suggestion, opinion, feeling, or whatever if you are not a AS victim.

    This is a forum for discussion of personal matters where those not concern can read for pleasure ONLY!

    JIAYOU!!! TO ALL :D

    Hi both mr&mrsgoh & happydays8,

    sorry to hear abt your unhappiness with Innerview. Seems like I need to reconsider before engaging them. BTW, did ID CK Liang manage your hse reno?

    Cheers,

    oinkoink

    No different la CK Liang......the contractors engaged are the same group who try to cut corners.

    O....I am still searching for their good comments as you claim....care to give some pointer?

    :paint:

    Sad to say I also hired innerview to do some reno in my house, here are some of the things that was not satisfactory

    1. kitched door drop off after 1 week only - took 1 mths before he show up to rectify (poor workmanship)

    2. another kitched door drop off after 6weeks - until now still have not rectify (poor service and quality of work and no follow up after final payment)

    3. did not give a solid surface care spray even though it was confirmed by innerview that they will provide during quotation time (not trusworthy)

    4. cause conflict for me and my husband when collecting last payment (ask for last payment from me but I refuse to give unless all problems are retified by them, he went undertable and get from my husband instead) (Cunning sales persons)

    5. could not produce what we asked for (inexperience worker)

    When you are paying this amount of money for their work the last thing you want is to end up quarrelling with your spouse for crappy work produce by ID.

    You decide wether you still want to get them.

    *Shake hand / hug hug cry*

    Haha....since its over, just laugh over it :)

    So far my drawers are still ok......lucky me.

    Ya...solid surface is raw :bangwall: ...where can we get the spray? Shall DIY.

    *having a give up mentality make me feels better :P

    hi Vivien,

    I empathise with your situation with innerview. In fact, I read many good comments on this ID until I saw yours. BTW, do you have other examples that you would like to share? Sometimes if there is communication breakdown between the workers and the ID, things like this can happen. Hope your work is all rectified by now.

    Cheers,

    Hi OinkOink,

    I too engaged this ID. Sad to say, they are V bad.

    Surprise if you manage to read many good comments on this ID. All i read in this forum is they are bad but always got the boss to come out and reactify the problems......think about this.....get everything wrong and then the boss come out to finish the things correctly?? (err last thing u should know is that the boss is starting another new business in food industry..... :unsure: wonder if he still got time for reno :( )

    Yes, have to agree this happened when there is a communication breakdown......Err.....but again..din we get a ID who can communicate with their contractor? hehee....hope ur reno work goes smoothly with them:) do post your result soon!

    *dun let communication breakdown get in the way....make sure all fine detials ;) cheers

    why cry over spill milk? sorry if sound mean. i understand it is not easy to go tru all these but this is a path that you guys have choosen.. he is an uncle in his 50s with not much education, dun even know english, what kind of good things can you expect from him?

    if you do your maths, you will know IDs will earn you by $10's 20's or even 30's thousand of dollars. ah soon? at the rate he is charging, i guess, a few thousands only..

    ultimately, if ah soon doesn't respond and continue to delay, use your savings to do the remaining job - seek refund tru legal channels..

    truth hurts.

    Agree that we shld move on instead.....and use the 10K saving to finish up the work.

    But again, cover backside:) make sure the effort to get the contractor to finish the work are recorded.

    In case brought to court (unlikely), there are proof that the contractor failed to deliver.

    Very encouraging to see many sensible ppl coming into this thread.

    Rather then just JiaYou without constructive ideas :unsure:

    Hi All,

    recently, just met up with Jason no 1.... overall, quite comfortable through the discussion. He promise to get back to us within 1 wk with the quote and what really impressed me is he can write down all the prices within 30 seconds.... haha (my work is not a lot la tongue.gif )

    Actually, we are 80% would like to use him even though the final quotation is not done... our main worry is delay of work!!! does anyone here has any experience that he delayed reno work e.g. promise 3-4 weeks but turnout to be 5-6 weeks..... because i am renting right now so have a tight reno schedule.

    Anyone to share experience?

    another question will be..... can we move in even though the reno is still ongoing?

    hehe..... that's worst case.

    80% is as gd as confirmed lah

    Would suggest u asked for LD if schedule is important.

    Moving into the unit while the reno is still on-going can be v troublesome.

    But since no choice, at least have one of the room ready so that u can stay and locked everything in the room.

    spot on !

    Just like wat u spot on....if his workers is at one unit, the other unit will not get the work done.

    But again, work can be separated into different stage....it depend on how the work being scheduled.

    Since he cannot control or coordinate with his contractors and we have so many ppl here having their reno at different stage.....ever consider taking over the coordination?

    Just 2cents thought....Shall not speak further.

    If Jiayu is wat u need.... JIAYU

    Really sorri to read about this topic...was thinking ah soon was very soon when i was searching for ID in June 09.

    Well....I too got the worst ID who finish up in about 5 months.....so i can share the frustration.

    Just like many of u...i WAS stucked before.

    -u give them time to do...they disappear n no1 work in your unit

    -u don't give them extension? They anyhow do lor.

    Can i suggest u list down the outstanding work and request them to "Please" fill in the date to complete.

    Get them to sign and ackownledge (know this is difficult)....in case u need to change contractor, there is something to back u up.

    Read your contract (not too sure if u have it with Mr. Ah Soon pte ltd).
