he did all my wet works like hacking and extension....total cost around 150k...now he said rugi, want to request money for those things that he agreed to free to me...Give out FREE but ask MONEY from me later.....help!!!!!!

Total cost of 150k????? You building a brand new house? Either that or you are a walking water fish and I would encourage the contractor not to take just 5k from you but maybe 10k or more. Honestly in the past I have heard of contractors not being able to get the full sum, you are the first I have heard that the contractor can get more than agreed price.

I try to talk..I tell him, you already agreed to do FREE for me, how come ask money from me...He said, "I know..but now I rugi, you have to pay.."

no matter what I say, he always think he is correct...and always throw away all his responsible and say not his fault....

no way to talk to him..he won't accept what you say...

I am water fish? he is the cheapest contractor among 10 contractors I compared....luckily he has done all the task and not run away halfway...

the problem is, he don't keep promise....always say different after promised...

please, how to handle this kind of people...

if you are me, what you will do?


Added on June 30, 2011, 6:08 pmfor an example, I don't satisfy his workmanship, so, I ask him to torch up to me...He agreed to torch up for me until I satisfy, after torched up, he said I make him rugi (hire people to torch up for me)...he said my requirement is very high...he won't think his workmanship is bad...he always think other people fault..not his fault....I am not holding knife to force him torch up for me...he agreed to do for me.....if you already agreed, why after done, say different things to me??

What is the extent of renovation we are talking about? Just move in and don't bother with him. I believe if it was me, the contractor would be afraid of me rather than the other way round.

I know that nothing is FREE in this world..I am not ask him to do first later I request for FREE...is I ask for FREE first before he do....

It is like freebie mah...If you buy hood and you get a free sink, later the supplier request you to return the sink, can?

So what exactly is your extension? Honestly RM150k is a lot of money. Put it down in black and white here and we will tell you if the contractor is really pulling a fast one.

1) I am not satisfy with the workmanship
2) I am not satisfy with the his attitude and integrity
3) I am not rich
4) Just left one task and I only keep 5K..He won't listen to me because he already taken 145K...and right now he requests more money...So, the only token of negotiation power is 5K... rclxub.gif

Free stairs? Whether it is concrete steps or wooden stairs, it would costs quite a bit to build one and you think he should give it to you for free? Honestly, just pay up and treat it as lessons learn. Unless you feel you are a bigger bully, then tell him to go fly kite.

What do you expect people in LYN to help you? Guard your house and protect you from harm?
