Hi Guys,

I do understand that normally the quotation is not the final price as sometimes we do add in additional items to the list. This is totally understandable.

However, being dishonest and unprofessional are characters that is totally unacceptable!!! We are so nice and flexible to him, never ever been harsh in our sentence althought i feel like doing so but my hubby kept on hinting me to be nice...... What else can I do? He really thought that he can bully us as we are soft from the surface..... this is really bad....

His contact 012-5366683....

Some they require payment up front to cover for the raw materials which they buy.
Unless we are really close to the contractor, then only they are willing to finish everything then only collect money.
Or else, the contractor is also afraid that we will disappear once they have finished renovating.

i still think its better to withold the balance payment rather than pay them all becos contractor have the tendency to drop things and run as soon as they recover their last part of payment leaving the work unfinish.

Usually before the start of the renovation, the payment issues should have been agreed upon.
Easiest is 50% mid of the reno phase, and remaining 50% after the reno is done, fair and square.

It is a headache to get problematic contractor.

u don pay 50% tats too risky, you go by work progress. You pay only what is done.

Then u should also buy your own material, tat way u can choose the kind of quality u r looking for. I have done that with my contractor. I will top up whatever the contractor agree on and get a better material & quality.
