QUOTE(joxen @ Jun 30 2011, 05:25 PM) A lot of people delay their renovation because of money and afraid of 'kena con'. 1. Have everything on paper record.Any tips on how to find good contractor?  2. List out as detail as possible the scope of work for the agreed amount 3. agreed on the acceptable finishes and finishing material. 4. Make progressive payment with payment vouchers signed on payments. Don't over pay the contractor. 5. Make regular inspection on work progress on site It is true that there are lots of con man in the market. They will find ways to con house owners. End of the day, just have to have the luck. You could always ask friends/ relatives who has renovated their house for recommendations. |
