This is not right. The price is the market price and reasonable but still the contractor run away, delay the job with lame excuses and so on. I can said 90% of them have the same behavior.... They cant take so much work at the same time but they afraid no work for them. In the end, problem occur ... delay work, empty promises ...

yes you are right....90% of them are the same...they all tamak...all project they want at the end cannot finish...i know one genuine contractor....building my neighbour house big house Rm400K++..and i found out the contractor is my friend friend..he is very good...he is not tamak cause he is religous man...he only take on job only at one time.....after finish this job..later move on to other job...everyday he is at side and most of the time he also work with his worker..he will at site from 8-5 pm...i always keep his number..in case someone one to do reno...nearly every saturday i go there chat with him....beside with my experice on my reno house..i also learn a lot from him..thank to him...he is genuine contractor....

My contractor really ran away and his brother promise to continue the work for him, heard his brother is a responsible person but in the end same case, ignore my call, not willing to pick up my call. Now I have to engage the indon workers to finish my work. I am thinking to give flyer to all the residents at his new site. Hopefully they are aware of these Liar contractor.

Note: I got the info from one the glass supplier about his new project.

yaa...about your contractor his brither must be the same cause from the same family...difficult to find genuine contractors nowadays..everybody claim he is contractor but sometime cangkul pun never pegang and tamak somemore...



to story more about this genuine contractor that i telling before that building my new soon to be neighbour...he is 'tabligh' fellow (in malay he consider religious man)...he DO NOT own mercedes nor big 4 wheel drive ..he just use normal car...my newly soon to be neigbour is consider cerewet fellow and consider sombong cause never tegur me..he think he rich.....change there change there when reno but do want tambah harga..but this contractor very sabar...at the end of the day..this contractor told me after 99% completed....he told me he rugi with my neighbour....just cukup makan aje...but he never ran away..he slowly negotiate with the my neighbour to top sikit for him to finish job... at last my soon to be neighbour gave him about RM15K out of total RM400 ++....susah mau cari this kind good of contractor.... i learn a lot from him...to add on ...he also learn a lot from me smile.gif ....for matter that he do no know cause i like to do research on reno...his name is Joha. Previously i advised Joha..he will rugi the way the owner style to change here and there...he told me..he pity the owner..... He use all approved material such all BS steel etc...if i got time i will post my neighbour house so so big double 1/2 storey bungalow for only if i can remember from Joha cost RM397 +RM15 = RM412 K.
i don t believe such big house cost RM412K only.

who want that contractor number just PM me.

to story more..i regret do not take him as my contractor...he did my neighbour house 2 months earlier from my house...i also ask his quotation for my house...and at last did big mistake to hire the con contractor Zakaria.



TQ

1. Joha 0133681704
2. Bibit 0123126782

can share the picture?
one tips to get a genuine contractor, they must have an office based.

Do not hire those and only printed name card and handphone. Most of them are part timer and middle man that not doing anything.
In lowyat.net, there is a lot of this kind of people, not to mentioned about chinese, malay and indian.

I have wasted a lot of time here with some forumers claimed they are contractor and so eager about the work but end of the day, just kept quiet and totally waste of each other time.

i will take the pic when i m free. not all genuine contractor have office.

yes u r right. i dont believe contractor in lowyat as i said before.
