Hi herbalteh, May i have Tony's contact please. Your Pm is full. Thank you.

Hi Lancified, I sms the ID many times but he refused to give me an exact date as he already knew that he could not make it. I called him as could not tolerate anymore. He kept asking me not to pressurise him. I said i did not but in fact i need to know exactly as need to schedule my time. We did not sign the invoice. Now i think back this probably is he tactic, to avoid any further legal issues, everything is verbal. We paid him when we confirmed the engaged him and had made known to him that must hand over within 6 weeks, max time limit. Now prolong for at least another 2 to 3 weeks. Very angry.

I hope all this nightmare would not happen to anyone. I started my reno 6 weeks and suppose to hand over this week but nothing much is done. I kept chasing him for exact completion date with no answer. Kept delaying with many excuses eg: relative hospitalised, sick, and now sick again. Cannot answer, would answer me days later, when asked again. Keep saying later , later, advise you later till no ending. **** angry. My schedule is really tight. Need to move in next Thursday but mostly everything is not fully done up, about 80-90% not done. Don't know how. When ask him, then complain me why so fierce, don;t trust him is it, blah.... Real angry.

Hi Lancified, Congratulations! My house reno started since 6 weeks ago and supposed to hand over this week but nothing much was done. Only False ceiling, partial electrical & pelmet for sliding glass door @ kitchen have been done up. Still pending for carpentry works, fan installation, glass door @ kitchen, mirror @ MBR, painting, Windown grill & window glass installation. Angry! We were really dissapointed with our ID. When i sms/called him that i will go down during kitchen & fixture wall installation. I was questioned the reason for appearing during installation as he & his workers don't feel comfortable with my existence and said that if i do not trust him till now,we better end here and asked me to look for another ID. Was **** angry about his replied. Paid about 55% of reno and i could not afford any further delay. I told him i have to move in next week. He didn't even bother to advise a definite completion date even though i have been asking so many times. If i argue, then he would threaten that he would not want to do, ask me to get someone else. I have been suffering in silence, dare not say anything. Only sms him to ask, ask , ask to provide with exact completion date but never replied. If i call him i am worried i would lose control and ending up quarreling. Then, my reno will be gone with big hole and suffering again for searching ID to clear the back-log this ID left out. All brothers & sisters, how shall i deal with such case?

Dear ong CS, Thanks for sharing your purchases of bowls/plates. I've been looking for one too. Went to Taka & CK Tang, most are quite heavy. Corelle is the lightest but am looking for nicer set too. If anyone happen to know places or sites to order for light and stylist one. Please share here. Thank you

We bought our crystal light, pendant lights and led lights, total close to s$900 from taobao. First shipment of lights have been fixed and look great. Even though our new neighbor likes them too, Do explore more. But there is pris and cons. If u want trustworthy, then can buy from lightning.com for Phillis brand.

I bought led down light from lighting.com. It gives 1 year warranty.

Please ask him to check with you for every steps. This is what my ID does. He would discuss with us on everything he is going to do. Simply a lot of discussion. Certain things not needed now or can be waited, just check the price or have some ideas in my mind, decide or pay when u r certain after discussion with ID. I had argument with my ID too but generally his service is very good just that a little bit pricey.

Heard that peeka for big item is cheaper. Ship all together to save cost. If you ship bit by bit definitely expensive. Some also posted that they would send flat Futniture over. So u need to fix yourself.

We are going to do fixture wall. About 6k inclusive of 5 feet full height cabinet with tinted glass in middle for display, another 5 feet width, 2 feet tall and depth 400mm cabinet & about 15 feet low cabinet . With wood laminate for the wall .

Window grille is quite straight forward, u could just check out he price and get it done without ID. For kitchen cabinet, do get ID as needed to do piping. The measurement for kitchen cabinet is $110 per foot.for kitchen top, can try solid surface as it is the cheapest but it has pros. For kitchen sink, u could get ss steel & Genova kitchen sink c/w ss rack & chopping board, 802mm width if I remember correctly from diy bathroom & fan for $240. Look for Ann 97772285. For fan, Hob & hood, can get from Jerome 92256638. Furniture, can get from lister 62697887 ( do negotiate with him, usually he could offer very good price eventhough for promotion item) This is what I could help.

Pls don't get chew, heard expensive. I have just engaged an ID and am very frustrated too bcos have been looking around for coming to 6 weeks and could not get a desire one. Therefore we engage one that with good service but a little bit pricey. I don't really agree to it's charges as I feel that most of the work is expensive/ overcharged. But really have no luck to get a good and affordable one. Just shop more and do not hurry. Do not buy things recommended by them as they earn commission even though it is promotion/ offer items. Reno is not that straight forward, get a responsible one. So, I keep telling my self that high price I am paying is for good service, must have some iq. No choice. Some ID recommended here aren't really good as what they claimed as I met them and some I saw ttheir owner's house, the kind of cabinet these ID provided is very cheepo.
