Hi there, can we have your contractor contact? Please email to maxlynn531@gmail.com Thanks alot

I hate the feeling of having to keep calling and remind Gina that they are suppose to come when when when or she must remind her worker to do this this this. It's quite tiring. We did once told Tony that we want to change the downlights light up position. Tony got the electrician to come and see. Everything was settled on the spot and the electrician will come on Monday to fix (It was Saturday when we talk about it). Monday came and gone, anticipation became disappointment. Bf called Tony and he can tell my bf that the electrician is not free to come and he is only free 2 WEEKS LATER. Steven, does this sound logical? I agreed with what Tea said. Their sub con are not very careful. One issue leads to another. And every time, I've to consolidate a list of things before I will ask them to come rectify. Other wise, it's just another repetition of calls and sms reminders again. I think I did mentioned to Tony regarding the chipped off grouting. But nothing was done. Perhaps, it's clean forgotten.

Hi Steven, Thanks. It's not really very very very bad. It's that there are rectification work which we didnt approach them to rectify other things for us as we feel it's enough. We will carry on ourselves from here.

Yup, it's sort of completed.

Hi Tea, We actually encountered the same problem as you as well. Having to monitor and follow up things on our part. It's indeed very tiring as both me and bf are working and we can only view the house in the evening after work or during weekends to check the progress. As for the kitchen, i wont put the full blame on CD, but then whose responsibility is it to ensure all appliances are in the right order? You decide for your own. Also, another issue which i find it funny was that, they did not return us the left over paints for our house. As a consumer, we paid for the item, any remaining paints should be returned to us. However, not in this case. Whatever it is, the list is never ending.

Dear All, Chanced upon this website and would like to give mine 2 cents worth on CD as well. The whole epsiode started when we are looking for a renovator for our new unit. Like many others, we went through the reno forum and saw good recommendations on CD. Most importantly, it's near our new unit, it will be convenient for us to look them up should there be any hiccups on the reno. I would say, at that point of time, CD's quote is one of the more reasonable quote that we got, plus Gina is a very friendly lady and we are quite comfortable with them and confident that they will produce standard work thus we signed with them. We were upset during the reno but there's some credits that we have to give them as well. 1st hiccups: Floor tiles were not laid properly. Not sure what happened but a few piece of tiles were not balanced. Informed Gina to change the few pieces, but after Gina's QC, she changed the whole floor for us. We were surprised but really appreciate this gesture of hers. The reason why we signed up with Gina is also bcos of their tiling workmanship which we like very much and is extremely impt for us as we are going to face the flooring for next 5, 10 years or so. 2nd time tiling were done and workmanship very satisfied. However, then came problem with the grouting line. Some of the grouting lines were chipped off. Seriously i dont know why. After some time, we also realise the tiles outside our HHS were blurred. (as in not shiny). This should not happen after chemical wash and no matter how we scrumb, the tiles still remains blur-ish. In the end, I have to get my dad to fill up the chipped grouting lines for us and my bf has to borrow equipment to buff the tiles outside our HHS. 2nd hiccups: Seriously, i'm not sure if it's due to over whelming customers at that time when we sign up with CD, Gina tends to not able to remember things that we tell her. Of cos, everyone is busy. We are busy too. Thus i wont put the full blame on her. But as a contractor, my personal opinion is that professional level is still not there. My kitchen is one of the areas that I'm still angry till now. What happened was, we bought all our kitchen appliance before Gina did the measurement for our kitchen. This includes, oven, hob and hood, washing machine, fridge, basin. So you guys will expect all these to be in at the final product. However, during the drawing process, Gina and us totally forgotten about our oven, when before hand, we have handled over to her all the kitchen appliances' measurement. When we went up to the house to check on the reno progress, only to find out there's no room catered for our oven. We were not very fussy couple and believed this can be rectified easily thus i gave her the call. But her reply makes me rather uncomfortable. She sounded as if I didnt inform her beforehand. And now that the kitchen carpentry is up, then I want to make changes??? The first tot that came to my mind was that, she is our appointed renovator, shouldn't she be managing this areas for her CUSTOMERS like us? The tot of it now still makes my blood boils. Finally Gina's guy came up to fix the oven for us. But bcos of the wrong mesaurement from the start, my oven took up a big space of my bottom cabinet.. Another thing is i informed her and even searched thru this booklet of the pull out tray and even showed her the picture that I want a pull out tray. BUT...she didnt install for us. Haiz.. 3rd hiccups: My MBR wardrobe. As there's a little recess area in my warbrobe area, so i specifically told her that i wanted the pull out mirror to be hinged outside of the wardrobe and under the recess area. Happy that she took note of it. Final product was up and my request was not fulfiled. Again, called her to ask why. All she told me is that she will fix ANOTHER mirror outside the wardrobe for me. Why do I need 2 mirrors in the first place? Frustrated and angry, bf told to forget it and take the final product as it is. Tea... same thing as you. The paints that we choose are suppose to be washable. But when it's dirty and we use a dry cloth to clean, white powderish paint came off and that dirty area became one wet patch looking... I'm not sure why it is like this too Seriously, I do not wish to give negative comments about our renovator, however hiccups along the way makes me upset. Do you guys know that Gina only gave us 1 set of 3 D drawings and that is totally not what we have in mind at all. And when we ask her to redraw, she told us she cant do that cos she changed her designer and getting her new hired designer to draw again means extra cost! The design that u see in my house now is actually a replicate of other units design with some amendments here and there, and imagine we have to visualise the colour scheme ourselves. One credit to give them is that their rectification work is fast. I hope what i've posted here did not offend or puts off anyone who is going to sign up with them. Perhaps after several months down the road, their professionalism really went up.. And i wish all those who is renovating their house all the best.

Hi Bunbun, Thanks.

HI YG, I see I see.. I'm an idiot to all these electrical stuff. If i want to get a microwave, anything that I should look out for? I went Best Denki and saw so many models until my head spins.. Got cheap one got expensive... dont know which one to get. Dilemma
