Any idea whether do we have to check if the electrician we gonna hire needs to be a licensed one? Like the mentioned famous Sebastian, Ah keong, Zenterra etc, before engaging them, do u check & verify if they are the licensed electrician approved by the authorities? http://elise.ema.gov.sg/elise/homepage_public_menu.jsp

By the way, does all electrical works have to be performed by licensed electrician? Do u all check whether they have any license from this website? http://elise.ema.gov.sg/elise/findworkerservlet?Operation=Search&Item=Partial&selectedType=null#results

Just wondering how come everytime the good/positive testimonial given for Sebastian are always from those ppl who have <10postings?.. Makes me wonder if they are genuine..

Does this quote sounds reasonable? 13amp = $65 Lighting point = $45 Installation = $10 Tel point = $45 SCV = $105 Cos mine is a new BTO flat, he didnt quote me for heater, aircon, doorbell, cooker & hood points, cos he say that its there alr. TIA!

Yup, i confirmed Johnny lee as my ID. But haven let him do my hse yet. Cos key collection is coming dec.. Have u done ur hse alr? Anyone can share any comments or pics?

Hi DENO, can u pls kindly post some photos here for us to view? Thanks.

Oh really? Thomas gave u a break down on reno charges ar.. Then i think the company is doing double standard man.. Cos Johnny told us he is not able to do a breakdown on pricelist individually cos what he has quoted is the reduced price alr. And if i really insist, then he will still do it, but then we have to accept the "higher" individually priced items. For eg: Burger = $2.30, Fries = $1.20, Drinks= $1.20, so total is $4.70. But when is quoted in lump sum, its $4 for example. So i also dare not ask for a individual price quote. Anyway, can u pls kindly post ur pics here for us to see? I really wish to take a look at the finished photos & not those 3D artist impression diagrams..

I think in that case, its hard to justify lo.. Just hope that he can be as honest as possible.. Somehow, he really speaks confidently and very convincing.. And we really felt that if we let him do our project, we can have a "ease of mind".. Very an xin & fang xin... But talk is one thing, do is another thing la.. so we really hope that he dun disappoint us.. Will keep u guys updated once i start my reno.. and meanwhile, for those who have signed up with them (Esp johnny), pls keep updating to us ur progress so that we can share our experience ok?> Thanks.

Hi Bro, Can i also have the contacts for the KDK as well as Franco contacts as well? Thanks alot!!

Hi Clare, my ID is johnny.. Same case like u, he told us to cut dwn on many carpentary works too.. but he gave realistic reasons why he meant that la.. so kindda convinced me & hub lo. And true also, we signed with him during the 2nd meetup aft he showed us the quotation. And strangely, he didnt give us a detailed item by item breakdown of each pricing. In fact, he just gave us a lump sum nia... That makes me kindda worried too. Anyway, i have signed with him based on alot of TRUST.. cos in the quotation, he did not pen down many details of materials, terms etc.. So i really really hope that he will not "cheat" us.. My flat haven cum yet, mayb end of this yr (if lucky la), if not will be early next yr.. After collection of 1st deposit, no news from him for months.. (He promised to cum back to us to show us the drawings in 2 weeks time).. Since flat nt here yet, so dun think i would wanna rush or chase him la.. But then i scared later too long nv contact him or what, if the shop close dwn i also dunno.. hahaahaa.. so thats y i long long check this forum lo..

Can i have uncle chew's no also? Thanks alot!!! lms_sharon@yahoo.com

Really better to liase with the boss meh? Seems like bosses more difficult to bargain etc leh.. And then he didnt gave me the breakdown so seems like abit "cheating" leh.. He asked me on my budget, then i told him.. he planned his quotation just nice to fit into my budget. So i was thinking if i had reduced it lower, does it mean that his final price also can satisfy me? Now i felt so stupid y i didnt state lesser... zzzz

Oic.. thanks Kim huat... Can u share with me who is ur ID? Cos mine i think is one of the boss.. Cos surname is Lee.. keke.. He gave me the quotation in 1 full lump sum, but did list down per item.. Just that pricing not given in per item basis.. Headache leh..

Wow.. Thanks alot Bro for the comprehensive listing.. Headache leh.. dunno which to select.. haiz... Am now trying to meet up with the shortlisted IDs... and they are like abt 15 of them.. zzzzzzzzz

No, this is not the only 1 i went to. But just wanna seek advise if u can spot any "hidden cost" here? And can u also advise is it a gd deal here?

Hi all who have signed up with A&D, may i know did they quote u based on individual line item pricing or they just give u a lump sum price at the end? Cos i just went dwn for them to do out a quote for me, but then to my surprise, they did not breakdown the individual pricing. So its hard for me to know where are the expensive portions. (Cos i might wanna take them out if it is too ex, i can buy outside (not fabricate) if needed)
