  1. Recently rented a shop house in the east side to do up my new tuition centre, was quoted $55k for the tiling,partition walls and ceiling works. Which was too expensive for my budget even before starting new business Happened that the new start-up nail spa business owner beside me also do up her own interior for her spa parlour. Thankfully, we got a group discount from our contractor as our business was just side by side:) Advise to always get ask for grouper offer from your contractor when you are lucky enough to have a new start up beside you:) Cheers to all business owners! Huat Ah!
  2. Bought my first landed house in serangoon 2 years back, it was a 1 storey private house with 1800 sqft of land area. Decided to demolish it and rebuild it into a 2.5 storey house GFA 4000 psgft which will be able to give me larger space and more rooms for my kids and wife. Gone through the tedious stage of finding contractors, and finding the best price as we wanted it to be affordable as we can be, just needed a house with more rooms and no need for too much attas and fanciful interior design and decoration. A few rounds of interview, managed to sieve out the good contractors and the bad ones. Went to the site to monitor the progress of the work once a month, and will pop by to make sure that the contractors was not up to below-par works. This builder was able to coordinate all the site works properly and on time, many times when I popped by he was there on the site to discuss the work progress with the electrical and plumping supervisors and me, really glad to see such hands on contractor boss. (Most of my friends actually say that these contractors are lazy and only cared about money, luckily for me this was not the case.) Managed to get my house done early quarters of last year, even though the projected timeline given by them was 13 months, they manage to let me top around 11.5 months, saving me the rental of my condo out as I can rent them out for extra cash. Was really happy with their work attitude of this contractors. There were a few times where my wife was actually not happy with the tiling of the rooms, and we changed the floor tiles to marble. And this contractor was actually quite ok with it, and did not make any complaints about our change of mind. Advise to all homeowners, do sit down and discuss with your contractors and make sure everything is in place before signing your contract with them and make sure they are good contractors with enough liquidity to sustain the cost of building, and try to get them to stay focus on just a few projects on hand so they do not run into cash flow problems and give u poor quality of your works. A good communication with the builder is definitely worth it!
