Hi all

I'm having some disputes with my current contractor, in terms of keep delaying renovation works, quality of works not up to par, keep ignoring the defects that I've pointed to him. Our case has brought up to Consumer Tribunal but we're advised to engage an expert to do the valuation on works done by the contractor. The valuation will serve as a basis for me to claim back $ from the contractor ($ paid). Need you guys help to recommend QS to me, really fed up with this guy and don't want waste time anymore.

Thanks.

Have you paid up the full amount yet? If you haven't, you are entitled to retain 5% - 10% of the total contract sum. This is to make sure they will repair all the defects works until you are satisfy ( of course to a reasonable state ).

If you have paid all the money, then I think it will be hard to get back the money but not impossible of course.

The QS you search only does calculation for you or you want him to go to your house and valuate the work done?

Paid substantial sum of $ and yes, it's really not easy to deal with this kind of situation. The question now is: (i) what is the value of the work done up to this stage (ii) the quality of the work done. We need an expert, to visit the house and do the assessment, put in summary and we will go back to show to the Tribunal. Based on this, we will see how much $ that we can claim back.

it must be a huge sum rite ?
cos usually people just take keep the 5% or 10% in case we are not satisfied.

Mind telling us the irresponsible contractor?

I'm not sure if they provide the services u are looking at..
