yes i chased him already, then he claim that somebody is fixing my tiles and going to be done by today and request for the next payment from me. I really doubt his words. But I told him I'm going to meet him at my house and see the progress before passing him the money.

After reading this thread, I think I'll give Ah Soon a miss.

I ready need to :bow: you people. Spend money, yet need to :bow: him to do his job. :bow:

Herd instinct?

No matter how good this Ah Soon is, flying airplane on customer, empty promises, 4 month reno is unacceptable. 8|

Why spend money and yet need to chase after him to complete his jobs?

I feel that, You guys here should ban him to let him know he is not the only contractor around.

I'm not against anybody, I just find it unbelievable how people can take all the sh*t from this "superstar" Ah Soon.

If it is not for this forum, I believe he will be out of business long ago. ;)

Break & Stop this "Herd instinct"

Just to update on my situation, turn out that he is not lying, the tiles were indeed finished up, except for some skirting. Not to side him or something but just feel that credits should be given when its due.

If u look at another angle engaging him it's like going for the Shell petrol offer.. why pple Q for that savings of maybe $50-$90?

Anyone has the right to choose what they want..but at least for his case it does not impact on the owners that is not engaging him

unlike Shell promo where other road users are impacted

hi konajovin, r u from simei? what is your house status?

Hi Seashell, yes.. i m the owner of simei.. my house tiling done, there's some last minute changes, i plaster the whole house, plastering just completed yesterday, today will start on painting.

Electrical ready, plumber ready, false ceiling and L box complete. Furniture on the way, measurement done, deposit taken, should be before 23rd Nov furniture complete.

This uncle very sickening, call him until vommit blood...

The crowd behavior theory is that people who are in a crowd act differently towards people than those who are thinking individually. The minds of the group would merge together to form a way of thinking. Each member's enthusiasm would be increased as a result, and one becomes less aware of the true nature of one's actions.

Sometime, people Q without knowing what or why they are Q-ing. :D

Predictably Irrational

wind78,

cheater is not a nice word to use. if he is, he is a criminial already...

yes i was delayed too, nobody likes to be delayed. but, in the end, things are still done...

yes, delay already comes in the package when we engaged him...

how about the discount we get from him? i change n change my ceiling works at least 3 times, he also let me change and did not charge me anything. ..we all talk about the delays but we didn't want to talk abt the good things we receive from him...

i m not saying he is perfect, but at least i know there always be time he is accomdating to us, do not charge us, & give us free things...

just that now uncle works is abit stuck due to his HDB project in sengkang... but he promise, this is going to be resolve very soon...

there are still quite a number of house that are HO despite due to his problem over at sengkang...

Not yet. Just wanna check with him whether he is still fit to accept project coz i read some good feedback and bad comments abt him too.

But i like his designs that posted on threads page 4 & 5 i think.

Thinking to give him a try if he is not too busy! :P

I can post the same question back to u..

1. Let say, u are also engaging him to reno your house.

2. He charge u cheap cheap that is sooooooo irrestiable and he don't charge u more if u ask to add in some more items.

3. U already read reviews abt him on aeroplanes and late HO.

What is your comment on this issue then?

btw, I didn't engage Ah Soon hor.

True... Just like u saw a stall selling chicken rice....longgggggggggg queue.. Will u take the biat? Because sub-consiously, u already think the chicken rice is nice. :P

Anyway, reno is about knowing you and your partner character first, budget and your threshold limit reading on review if you are those who prefer to use Internet as a form of research...ask our parent...they don't even know who is Ah Soon....the old way works through work of mouth...

If you are a no nonensse person, stress a lot on puntualitiy and a very discipline person..perhaps ID will minimise your pain.. :P

There is nothing much to debate over a contractor/ID from my pt of view, cause during peak period of the business for contractors/ID. or non peak period. The attention u get from them is different. It also boil down to the communication between owner and contractor/ID. Selecting a contractor is not a Yes No clear answer.. is becoming a ART.
