what's wrong with the timing.
toilet reno, proven 19 days kawtim. workforce sufficient, my 3 bathroom should take no more than 21 days.
painting give them a week and that's the final thing to be done.
so one more month to do the rest of the work is very reasonable, no?
a good contractor makes money by completing projects fast and without defect.
project drag, lose opportunity cost, labour cost.
defect lose reputation, lose time, lose full collection.
with fast turnover, good quality. contractor will be swarmed with jobs full time. pricing of course will need to be fair lah.

RM800 is cheap.... Anyhow is depending on your total area....

Waterproofing wise, include material? How about tile adhesive and cement?

Dear All,
After trying but unsuccessfully to get more contacts, i'm posing this to all for comments and also to exercise pre-qualification of contractors.
Attached please find a very brief and crude list done by myself to facilitate my very soon undertaking of renovation to my property in PJ.
The existing owner is moving out and handing over the key to me this saturday. Hence would appreciate for those who wish to participate to PM me for arrangement to view the unit and subsequently quote/revise your pricing to me.

Target to commence : ASAP. Can be next week too.  icon_rolleyes.gif
Target to complete : Mid-November. Earlier if possible.

Am open to comments and adjustment where applicable.

Thanks.

So far some of the names I'd gathered from here includes the following:
1. Mr. Hor, reco from Law of BU, PJ
2. Mr. Sam, reco from Derek of Kota Kemuning
3. Mr. Steven from Eca-Do
4. Mr. Steven dunno from who and where but different number from no. 3
5. Desmond Wong of UNICON
6. Kenny dunno from who and where
7. Reno Teng dunno from who and where
8. vinns by zhelwaine (from plumbing only, right)
9. Kelvin, maxim concept
zhelwaine, you open 7 days a week kah and what time?

thanks all.

adele,
better to request them to always separate labour cost and material cost.
and material cost, always request for specification of products offered.
that way, you can control the material that you want and also do comparison of prices for materials. sometimes, you can buy materials on your own cheaper and more suitable for your brand preference. and sometimes, the contractor might have jalan to get some good stuff at cheaper rates if they consistently promote a certain brand.

sl,
all 3 brands are acceptable by my standards. slight preference over sika and fosroc.

Oh...aiyo, the indo guy tell me hacking and re-tiling is RM800. Then i asked him..'huh? then u dont do water proofing meh?' then he said yes. But he didn't advise whether he supply or not. So thanks for reminding me guys. I will ask him.

By the way, if he say RM800 only for labour cost. Is it still consider cheap? Can pakai or not..what u guys think?

I also need advise.. with indo guy, they dont do quotation using computer and stuff, how do i sign contract or ask them to separate labour cost etc? All based on 'speech' only so far now..

You got to take the risk, they don't sign anything, even they do how do you want to sue them? or bring them on court?

Quality wise, is a gamble, unless you know his work or been to his reference site.

Personally if the work is like RM 1.5k vs RM 800.00, i'll go for 1.5k, and worry less for more reputable contractor. Unless is difference are huge in $$$ term then maybe is worth the risk.

weikee, he's recommended to me by a friend i know. I've seen his work, but only painting job, some re-wiring and doing table top. Seems fine to me...

The friend's sister's house re-wiring done by him, also ok. However i'm not sure about hacking and stuff, as they didn't ask him to do hacking...
