Hi all, I am gonna tell you the **** my contractor put me through. But to be fair, i am giving them 1 more week to redeem themselves. After that I will let it all out. Including the ID firms which engage this contractor.

See you all and will update you soon. SO far work is delayed 1 mth and counting....

hi.. this kind of 1-post account, not much credibility. This forum is full of 1-post accounts. If you want to vent something truthfully, provide more details, pictures etc.

I'm surprised you joined for more than 3yrs didn't even contribute anything, 1st post is to scold someone.. hehe

Let me share first,

Do not engage this carpenter,

Ah beng 97660072, Yuan Li Furniture Decoration.

Personally I used him because his price is quite reasonable, however a lot of screw up issues.

1) 2 different groups of workers, Group A cannot touch up for Group B and vice versa.

2) Very clumsy workers, provided you don't mind your cabinets come with a lot of scratches.

and many more...... If want to know, feel free to contact me. Because it serve no purpose to bad mouth so much about him.

In short, he is a man who don't honour his words.

And his stupid company is registered in malaysia, no protection(Small claim tribunal also cannot help you) if you are in singapore.

WATCH OUT!

since you already know his company is register in Malaysia.

When you engage his service, you should already had this awareness.

USE at your own risk

Hey there, you are not alone. I pay a total of 57K for my 5-room renovation and I am in great pain now.

The contractor I engaged is Akron Interior‏ Furnishing. My kitchen cabinet is done by his partner company D& B Interior Design & Renovation. My ID name is Albert and he only shows his face initially and disappeared half-way because he screwed up in laying the network cables and lighting. So I only deal with the D & B Interior & renovation guy name ah Boon. He is totally irresponsible and did not supervise the work through out.

I am sharing the defects list and photos below:

Cabinets come with a lot of scratches and internal cabinet skin torn but touch up with paint.

Uneven shelving and bad alignment, all shelves are with multiple raw holes from error drilling

All Cabinets’ doors are uneven

Kitchen Island solid surface full of scratches and uneven edges

Island bottom are not cover up and leave 2 big holes

Kitchen Floor uneven (Puddle of Water) – refuse to change

Kitchen tiling chip-off and cover up with paint

Kitchen windows tiling - chip-off (refuse to change)

Dotty8,

I really felt how you feel because i am in your situation too.

All i can say is now the renovation standard not like last time. Currently, Contractors/ID only look at quantity and NOT QUALITY! They want to do as many as possible even if they cannot cope, they still accept.
