QUOTE(phoenix69 @ May 14 2012, 11:00 PM) Lucky for you as he finish till the last 5%.Very normal for them to runaway after collecting your 1st 10% or some 30% down payment. They would get some cement and sand as delivery then collect down payment. Do some hacking here and there. Next day, never turn up to work... Not even 10% of work done but collected 30% downpayment. Happen to my friend house in SS2 last year. 50% work done. Even have the guts to ask more money if he come back to work. |

In fact never show up. How to deal with this kind of issue? I would say I am on the lucky side. My contractor start job, hack all my walls, put in material than only ask me for payment what was done. Only collect payment what he did. Except for paint works. and some area he charger me higher. To me is ok, don't have too be so calculative else he find it hard to make a living.FYI, I have paid him up to 60% as well. I wanted to get new contractor because I wanted to move in before July. He still holding my key Most of the contractor also do job and collect later some I even have to remind them to collect Jmm, maybe a good date we start renovation:-) |

If your contractor is just a freelance, there's nothing you can do. (Trust them at your own risk)You can complain to the consumer department and get the refund from the tribunal court if your contractor have a proper receipt, address & company is legally registered. |

Initially was worried that it will swing, but after looking at the product in Homedec 2012, I realized that it can be " locked" to the ceiling when it is fully raised, thus no swinging.
