You have to buy your own materials and it would be best to follow him to the shop and he will ask for the material for you and you can choose whehter to get the quality or cheap item which is up to you

My new condo just finish renovated by Ahkam that you mentioned. I didn't saw this post when I engaged his service. I saw a post in other forum saying him is good in the Kitchen cabinet. After looking at his workmanship seems medicore because most of the stuff not done by him but he sub out to other people.. Planning to let him change all the tiles for two toilet..now I think I have to think again.

He got give me black and white..then payment is okay also..

Hi All, If you need house renovation in butterworth and penang. Please email me for the quotation. We provide black & white and itemize those renovation breakdown as well. This is to prevent miscommunication between us and owner.

I would like to share my bad experience with this contractor recommended in this forum, named David Chow Yong Ee, from BELLWAY HOMES, based in Jalan PU 2/5, Puchong, Selangor. First of all, I'm not blaming you (if you are a real customer of his). Maybe he did a good job on you, but in my case, if anybody who reads this wants me to sum up him in one word, it would be IRRESPONSIBLE. I'm not being ill-hated or malicious by writing this statement, I'm just using my consumer power to stop irresponsible, reckless, unreliable and bogus contractor from having a place in our world.

So, let me tell a real, true story, experienced first hand by myself as an owner of my house and as his customer.

I just moved into a 20x60 house. Not that big. I wanted all my parquets in my house to be replaced with tiles. So I called him up some time in April 2012, and the rate he agreed to give me was RM4.50/sqft. Based on 557 sqft, the charge was RM2,500. On top of that, I would like the floor tiles of my 2 bathrooms (much less than 200 sqft) to be replaced with new tiles. The charge was RM1,600, inclusive of installation of water basin and toilet bowl. All the charges include workmanship, but excluding tiles, water basin and toilet bowl, which I wanted to buy on my own.

Before his guys started working, he (David Chow) told me that the work could be finished in 1 week. Of course I don't trust any word from a person I barely know, so I predicted it could be in between 7-8 days to complete. The work was done by two (2) Indonesians from Jawa Timur, not David. I suspected they are just 19 or 20 or even younger. The work was done every day by those 2 guys, except 2 or 3 days when only 1 worker (named Amin from Sulawesi) did the job. The reason was the 2 guys who were supposed to do the job were not fed by their employers. I was told by them sometimes they were not even paid. So I believe they retaliated by not coming to work. Fortunately I didn't just sit there and let them starve. How do you expect 2 guys not properly taken care of do their work?

After 8 days passed by, the work was still not completed. I called up this David guy every day, and every time we engaged in a conversation, he assured me that the work can be completed today. Today and today and today for the next 4 days. Obviously this young guy didn't know what he was talking about. The work was completed on the 13th day.

Regarding the quality of the work, I would rate 5 in a scale of 1 to 10. After the work was completed, they were still small holes between two tiles. So I asked them to put cement (or whatever it is called). OK, the job was done. But now, the holes seem to reappear again. So I guess the workmanship is not that good, flawed to its best. Not to mention that now they are hairline cracks on the skirting of the wall that they put up.

The most pathetic part is this. After installing the toilet bowl, the water flow to the manhole seemed to be clogged. So the Amin guy took it out, scooped the things he could find in the pipe with his bare hands and found some algae, and re-install the toilet bowl again. It seemed it was OK after several flushings. About less than a month later, the toilet bowl began to clogged up again. Water can be seen exiting through the base of the bowl (the one that connects the bowl and the floor) when it was flushed. Water also rose up when it was flushed. I suspected it was clogged again. Note that the toilet is a guest toilet, which was rarely used. So no toilet paper or anything similar get disposed of into the bowl. So, I called up this David guy. To my surprise, HE REFUSED TO LOOK INTO IT because the Amin guy had de-clogged the toilet before. OK, fine, at that moment I promised that I will do everything in my power to tell the world what kind of a contractor he really is.

Then, I called up my old contractor who renovated my house previously. He came eventually, and looked into that. He took out the bowl, used his designated pole (not with his bare hands) to check whether it is clogged or not. IT WASN'T CLOGGED. The reason why water came out through the base of the bowl is there was not enough mixture of cement put at the base of the bowl. In other words, IT WAS THIS DAVID'S DOING ALL ALONG. Now the toilet is doing just fine.

So, a very valuable lesson learned. My advice is don't ever ever appoint a young, inexperience young contractor like David Chow Yong Ee. I don't think he has ever done any hands-on work related to construction. He only came to my house 2-3 times in about 30 minutes each time to supervise his workers, whereas my previous contractor, Mr. Tan did the work himself with his workers. If you want Mr. Tan's contact number, please PM me.

I would like to seek fellow sifus advice how to proceed with my contractor that "disappeared" from working at my site for a week now.

The only Indoan worker left (the rest run away) claimed that he was not paid for whole month of April.

I do not know how to settle this since the contractor is not picking up my calls.

Can anyone plaese help to advice.

Have experienced an ID in Singapore also not picking up calls, work halfway done but we have paid 100%. He owed contractor and suppliers money until they knocked on our doors to ask for payment. As long as your contractor phone not terminated you still have chance. Keep on calling or sms, you must be nasty and make sure he come to see you. Then you can settle with him face to face. This issue will prolonged so be prepare that work will standstill for many months.

This is the ID guy's face you can find in the link below. I heard he has venture into Indonesia , in case he decide to come here , for the benefit of Malaysian please take note:

Thank you so much Chigme for your advice.

I am very warry since this contractor exhibited all those 'run away' contractor signs like:
1) Don't pikc up calls,
2) Give lame excuesses for not showing up at work site ("Today rest day", "My car broke down"),
3) Keep asking for money and advancements,
4) Workers not paid,
5) Promises not kept,
6) Lying.

He even has the gut to ask me to recommend people to him.

Can anyone recommend me a contractor for repair roof leaking? Location sri petaling. Please pm me.Thanks.

BAD CONTRACTOR !!!

MAYBANK ACC# 151203997118

He threaten me to give balance 100% payment (i had pay almost 80%) after he done 50% of work only!
I refuse, then this contractor start to act like samseng and stop work, postpone the work ... macam macam hal buat...

Also, he always act no money to give salary.
His subcontractor all complaint cause he always give empty promise and bounce check to them. Is a jerk ass man!

Finally he abondoned the site and ask his subcontractor to stop half way work.... a night mare to me now..

Bad experience with this contractor

Name = Yap Kam Hong
Mobile# 0122427313
01112357313

1 phrase to describe "Run-away contractors with money" need more to say?
Even worst, ask for deposit for many things, but never pay them to the sub contractors.

My experience with bad contractor (main con) & his sub-contractor.

Main con: HENG AIK SIONG (Star Home Renovation), knows only tiling work, will collect $$$ & talk talk talk.
Sub con: MURUGAYA@EMGI@SAM (Buildfact Enterprise), a fat indian guy who is really irresponsible & knows nothing about renovation.
Overall, 80% of the work done but with bad workmanship. The finishing works are non-existence. Waterproofing are done extremely poor. Tiling works are of 2nd grade. Luckily I did not pay them the whole amount, left 15% of the total amount. Beware!!!

10% - Agreement / start work
30% - Half way
50% - Finish
10% - Completion/satisfactory


Agree!! Not all contractor are bad. Better engage with design firm. 50% upon start and 50% upon completion I think mostly contractor cannot complete the job and end up run away.

I just have a really bad experience on my contractor. It's a condo, i just do Full renovate 2 toilet, kitchen cabinet, plaster ceiling and kitchen cabinet. it took me 160days and havent including defect and touch up.
During the confirmation, the contractor say it can done within 3months. but extended extra 1month twice from management. the worst part is the last week before the deadline, he call me to help him open the door and let his sub-con to come in and do the work.
i have deducted his balance sum, on he took away the my ceiling fans, spoil the rain shower mixer, and others defects. he start to act like samseng.
really disappointed on his job.
even my condo security guard also laugh on me and ask, why your contractor come to do work 1 days and missing for 1-2weeks.
i believe that maybe some of the people here able to get a good job from him. but he really did a bad job on my house. now i suffer on the water leaking issue on my master room toilet. NIGHTMARE!

What a fxxking shitting company. I had bad experience with them.Called them for the roof leaking service due to the leaks from roof to kitchen.I was told the plumber will come over to check the cause of the leaking and will give the quotation then only I will decide whether or not to accept their service. But this plumber(Mr Lim) insisted to repair it and the price he quoted for RM800.00,What a ridiculous price!!!When I put him on the phone to speak to my husband and my husband told him we will consider his offer but definitely not the same day carry out the repairing work.When the plumber(Mr Lim)heard that he immediately demanded for RM 200 service charge if we don’t accept his repair service.
This is the first time I encountered in my life as i’ve deal with so many contractors..that we need to pay the service charge when they come over to give us the quotation and if we do not use their service.
I was not told about this charges will be incurred if they come over just to check and give quotation when I called Boon Chye Plumbing and Electrical Service to inquiry about their plumber service.I personally think that should there be any charges for quotation only,they have to advice and alert the customer in advance before sending their plumber to the site,the plumber then demanded for the service charge.This is really not the appropriate.If your company have this “term” or “rules” of collecting the service charge for just to check and give quotation,kindly inform us,your potential customer,first.This is not honest!

Three years ago, I did my porch tiling through this contractor, Jin Soo Deco & Renovation, Sam Tan Ching Liong 016-6341618. Before I decided to appoint him, I told him to do proper leveling so that water flowing outwards and not inwards. He agreed so I appointed him. After appointing him and when he started the tiling works, because only my old dad at home during weekdays, he simply just replaced the tiles without proper leveling. In other words, just merely changing tiles. After completion, water puddling at my main door entrance won't flow away even after rain stopped. I called him to come to rectify, every time like having to beg and pester, took very long for him to come. Finally he did came to do minor rectification. Now water still flowing inwards when rain is heavy, just that will flow away eventually after rain stops. This contractor is a BIG NO especially if you don't have muscular man at home as he knows who he can bully. My dad did remind him to do proper leveling but he ignored him. He charged me RM7,800 for an area size of approx 15 x 18 ft. And the tiles he bought from a factory that liquidated 6 months after the tiling works. Quite a number of the tiles cracked in less than a year.
