Hi guys! Would like to check if its normal for large piece of plywod to bend. Recently i had my house renovated and i had my bomb shelter covered with a build in door. However, after the door is installed, it cannot be fully closed. as in the entire door is bent. so from the side, you would see some part of the door sticking out of the wall. does anyone of you facing this trouble too?

The thing about this ID is this. Initially before i signed on the line, i specifically ask him on a timeline. He said he will work it out after i finished choosing the tiles. and before i proceed to choose the tiles, i must sign on the line. Well, after choosing the tiles, i did mention about the timeline. His response was "I still have not submitted for HDB for approval, because we would be doing some hacking". He further explained that because the hacking period given by HDB would only be 1 week, therefore he did not submit it until the very last moment. And he said that HDB would normally come back only 2-3 weeks later! WTF! If he had known that, he should had submitted earlier rite! This is the beginning of my nightmare! Everytime i gave him a dateline, he would either say the workload for that particular month is too much, or he would threathened me by saying "I cannot gaurantee the quality of the work if you want to rush." For his former remark my thinking was "why the f*** should i be affected? if the workload is too much for, then jolly well employ more workers la. why should the customer face the consequence?" and for his later threat he made, i am thinking of reverting back to his boss. I didnt want to revert to his boss initially because i was afraid that he might do a sh*tty job for me. apparently, that doesnt make any difference. cause it still sh*tty now, in terms of response time, service level and carpentary work!

Another thing which i would like to clarify is this service which most if not all ID companies provide - ID would go shopping with the customer to select their furniture. And by my standard, this includes sofa, dinning set, carpets, lightings, curtains, basin, taps and everything that would affect the overall design which is initially proposed by the ID. For my ID, he went "shopping" with us only on lighting, sofa and basin. And for these items, he would select one, at most 2 shops for us to view. so die die have to get something from those shops. whenever we requested him to come out shopping with us over the weekends, he would say that his company doesnt allow him to do so as the company wants him to stay in the shop to attend to walk-in customers. he would ask me to take leave during weekdays instead. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I paid for his "professional service" and he wants me to take leave to accommodate his timing?! So for stuffs like bed, dinning sets and carpet, we actually went on our own. what he suggest us to do was to take pics and mms to him. wahhhh ... like that he sibeh song leh. he sit in the office while we do the travelling. May i ask the standard in the industry now? Are all other IDs practising this way too?

Yep, there is hacking of half a wall. aot of carpentry work? NOT AT ALL ... just the kitchen cabinets, TV console and a build-in dressing table. 'If you told him over the phone and he still not get it right then you can demand him to go down onsite to sort it out." -- the thing about this is whenever i told him about any defects i found, he would say things like that, "Yes, i saw that too, and on top of that, i also see some other defects which you have not mentioned." HE SAW THE DEFECTS AND HE IS NOT DOING ANYTHING?! my reno cost is about $30K++. Right now, the renovation is towards the end already. All major works have been completed. They are clearing the loose end now.

not only her. i signed up with them at june this year and they told me that they would complete within 1 month. now its already oct and we still cannot move into the house. and when i wanted my ID to speed up his work, he would say"if you want me to speed up the work, i cannot guarantee the quality of the carpentary work!" ISNT THIS THREATHENING?! so after a very long wait (like 2.5mths), all the carpentary work has been completed. during my inspection, i cannot believe my eyes! basic capentary work like drawer alignments are totally out! and when i wanted him to come down to my house to go thru the details of the carpentary work, he said there isnt a need as i could just tell him over the phone. up till now, the carpentary works are still hanging loose!!
