Friction happens when contractor cannot deliver as promised, or delay your time, or cannot agree on what you ask them to do, or irresponsible, or try to squeeze everything start to charge u $$ for every single thing.

So, when you stop/terminate your contractor, how to settle? Some contractors turn into gangsters and insist you pay them or let them finish the job despite your lost of confidence in them.

weikee..police got care for such matters?

i paid him off like 70% and say bye bye to him

zheilwane, how about if it's 5-10k or 10-20k. would you still pay?



didn't pay extra. but i didn't manage to minus off his faults, coz if i minus off he'll take peanuts.

adrianjc, perhaps u think a bit too much la..sure someone will continue..want to protect what le? they dont know each other oso. running business all they wanna do is earn some living, and all we owners want is u live up to ur promises and not give us unreasonable works, that's all.

zheilwane, if they got 3-4 parang want 100k i oso wont give them coz i oso don't have how to give?

so moral of the story from renovations is: don't buttock itchy suka-suka renovate, end up waste time, waste money, lots of headache and also tempers might fly. Better buy renovated unit if price ok, design can accept and if one really don't have so much cash, time and money to go play play

hahaha

i think they are not so free to go call each other and say ..eh u kena terminate eh? they dont even ask me who's the previous person, so nobody cares la really.

phoenix69, if they dont take up this job, they take up other job, is there guarantee they wont meet even worse ppl...doubt that lo..

coldman86, u seem to be gloating over other ppl's mistakes which is not so nice. imho, i dont think use id with letter and everything guarantee anything at all. my neighbour use id to do whole house cabinets 50k, already paid 20k, already 4 months also didnt finish. Just for cabinets! she also had to terminate, so it really depends on how responsible the contractor/id is. like my lawyer says, u can have 100 pages of legal paperwork , at the end of the day paper is paper, action is action.

by the way, this thread is for ppl to share their experiences on how to settle the disagreement..so far nobody has posted any real life events.
