I am an extremely dissatisfied customer. Would like to make this known so that others would not fall into this trap. Beware of a contractor named Ability Renovations and Engineering Works.
Terrible quality in the renovation materials. Cracks everywhere on the wall surfaces, leaking problems in roof areas, spots and grease marks on paint job that could never come off, horrible installation of fittings, plaster ceiling that is cracking etc. I regretted using Ability, spent so much from getting the drawing done and approved, buying premium paint, tiles and fittings and in the end, after 3 months of moving in, the house seems to be falling apart. Don't fall for the after-reno services given as well... recurring problems not solved. Ability has an absent site Manager and a good-for-nothing Indon supervisor. Overall spent 350k++ in this renovations and I get an eggshell house

Oh yes...now my second daikin aircond is having problems from the piping installed by them. How dissed am i?

hi, thanks for letting us know - useful. I think this is a great place to share experiences with builders - good and bad - to help each other.
I am considering 2 builders to construct a small bungalow. I will give you all feedback (in a year and a half or two!) re. whomever i choose. Right now, has anybody had experience with:
GABUNGAN REKABINA SDN BHD (Kajang)
or Stewart Teo (Sri Kembangan)
or can anybody recommend one in Ampang area (where the site will be)?

I am not only specifying the design of the house, i am producing the draft bill of materials & suppliers list. Hopefully this will help ensure i get what i expect & pay for.
If anybody has advice, i'd be grateful......
Thanks in advance for feedback & I'll keep you posted.....
