Hi all, need to feedback and get some feedback, appointed a ID that did the renovation for my friend in West area condo. He did his master bedroom toilet, study room, wardrobe for common room and also kitchen (design by his brother not ID). I like her kitchen very much so did the same renovation, I use the same ID which my friend ask me don't use, copy his design and ask other to quote. I think since the ID just complete the renovation he should be able to deliver same or better result. The ID quoted me $24k for kitchen and 1 set of build in wardrobe, my friend show me her invoice that the kitchen he was paying is around $17k. I know I have paid more but since I am doing kitchen only so maybe the ID need to mark up a bit. But the whole renovation is night mare to me, I was told that he will try to complete in 1 month time. So my wife and baby move out to in law place and wait for the reno to complete while I stop my job for 1 month (self employed). End up the renovation took nearly 2 months to complete with a lot of item redo at least 2 to 4 times. The renovation start 1st week of May and complete 1 July with outstanding redo job for just a kitchen and wardrobe. The ID came to my place 5 times, 4 times is to collect payment and 5th time is bcos the worker drill thru water pipe. I neg with him the price of $24k as his standard is too low to worth this amount, he agree and drop $2000 off. Now I am going to pay the balance 10% and which I feel super unhappy. Problem: #1. Rehack the floor 4 times due to the worker did not change the spoil tile #2. Hack the electric cable once and 2 times water pipe #3. Wardrobe redo unknow time which took 1.5 month to complete (Poor standard) #4. Quoted $950 for electric but all lights and switches is bought by myself due to I want those with LED on it #5. Kitchen cabinet wrong measure but I accept it since is already done in factory (Reject will take longer time) #6. Try to use washing machine, all water flow out due to cement all throw into the drain #7. Waiting for contractor to come and daily did only 1 job (that why take nearly 2 months) #8. When problem happen cannot get thru the phone until I call his boss to give me answer #9. Every redo job I need to clean up the house as all most the worker only do the job and run as fast as he could #10. Kitchen tile uneven for a few pieces Overall I believe is due to this ID, cannot be bother about the renovation and assume that his contractor can do the job correctly. Should I go and make complain to his boss or just pay him and byebye to him. I will not share the company detail but the company is location at West (Jurong East MRT is the nearest)
