Dear All,

Thank you so much for all the information put here as reference to select an ID/Contractor.

My keys will be collected next week and the renovation work will be started soon. Now my question is how should we follow up with the ID to make the renovation process satisfactory? According to my friends, some renovations jobs really needs our monitoring such as the floor tile laying.

So what is your idea? Can we share?

Thanks and Regards

Hi bobbyllx,

Welcome to renotalk, I'm new too!

I reckon you should check with your ID how often is he/she gonna update you on the progress. Best is at least 2days per update.

I have seen many issues occurred due to miscommunication so speak with your ID more often and convey what you really want for your home to him/her. Cuz rework is costly and time consuming.

Of cuz always drop by your renovating home when you have the time to take a look at the progress and workmanship.

Hahaz have fun renovating your home!

Cheers,

Mike

Thanks, Mike!

Hi bobby,

Welcome to RT, i guess you can ask for a draft schedule on the works involved. the contractor or id should be able to provide at least from when to when what are to be done. from there maybe you can drop by once a week or twice if you are really free to see the progress yourself. otherwise you can request for update once every two to three days since your id or contractor may not be doing your job alone.

Hehee, unless you are really lucky like me to have an id that is present at my place almost everyday when i was doing my renovation years ago.

Thanks, Mike!

importantly not to pass a cash or cash cheque to your renovator, always ensure the cheque issued to the company & get the official recept.

cause very often the clients like to ask "who should i issue to", and those fellow whom just came back from casino will answer them "just write Cash cheque will do" or some even say "write my name also can"....and the money never goes back to their company
