Hi all, be aware of this contractor called Ryan Yan from RY interior (see attached pic). Paid him 100% already since he is recommended by a friend and he appear sincere initially. he stopped work at about 10% with several reasonable defects such as installation deviate from design drawings, obvious scratches and wrong drilling of holes. he took several mths since last dec and still don't bother clear defects and keep pushing blame on us saying we pick on his work and his quote is very low priced he cant earn much.. come on , he quoted low that his own issue/mistake and he don't even bother to supervise his low skilled workers resulting in so many defects and wrong installation different from the original design given to him .moreover there are more defects we just closed one eye ask him clear those obvious ones. I heard he is also doing MCST work . Please do not engage him

Hi, sorry to hear that. My advise will be, sit down and talk to them nicely again.

We tend to have unhappiness with the contractor.. i also argue with my contractor many times over diff issues!!

Like what everyone has said. better dun pay them all till they complete all the reno in ur hse.

Talk to them about solutions.. things will work out..

dun worry too much

Second this advice. Try to maintain a good relationship with your contractor. A lot of these contractors are lowly educated and will not hesitate to sabo you.

Personally I also encountered a bad renovation contractor who abandon the job and leave all the renovation works half finish, even though we made payment.. I cant get back my money..

The company is Genuine Interior Concept & Design Pte Ltd and the ID is Sim Yvonne. She is an old auntie in her 50s. Here is her photo.

Previously the office is at MIDDLE ROAD, #03-22, FORTUNE CENTRE, Singapore 188979 but recently moved to No 183 Jalan Pelikat #01-47 The Promenade@Pelikat Singapore 537643..

Worse, her company is not listed in the HDB registered renovation contractors who can carry out renovation works and she claimed she has done it for so many years..

Hi, I'm currently renovating my new flat..work almost completely done, i must say. But was a terrible disappointment. Kitchen cabinet was terrible, as in there are doors, but when u open the doors, the internal was basically straight from end to end, with no partition separating one another. I don understand how the **** these people got their so called Interior Designer titles. Space planning was zero. Seems to me like I was the one feeding him with ideas all along, and the moment i left him on his own...everything turned upside down. I'm so stressed...Where shud I go, what shud i do? Help please....
