This guy is not even a contractor, he is jus talking jobs and sub to some other contractor to do .. And always late payment to his sub contractor so yr job will be delay and delay

Then various excused will be given for the delay ( as another forumer mentioned before)

My house started renovation 3rd July, schedule completed date 26 July , nah... if i still wait for him i guess maybe december also canot finished. Finally sacked him and find own kitchen contractor to complete my kitchen cabinet , and go direct to the sub contractor En Aizad , to finished my tiling n touch up. and its finally done yesterday 30/9/2013, tats almost 3 months of nighrmare


So conclusion - NOT RECOMMANDED ! Boo... Learned my lesson

If u guys still want to get cheap contractor, U can find direct that sub contractor guy. He is more experience and is a real contractor, but of coz, u still need to be there supervising his worker job coz some worker are abit lazy

Contact - En Aizad ( 0196368196)

For kitchen Cabinet U can contact - Mr Lim ( 0163021007 ) - recommanded

wah ya lo.. i think very big house and huge budget... my project jus like ikan bilis saje and keep budgeting too tight

Yea I know but in my case I already very firm tat I wanna hack the dining n kitchen wall so my apt will look bigger. drawing tat I wanna see is kitchen n toilet lo. Coz dun hv budget to do fancy fancy designs

But my advise is.. pls see all the drawing before starting the work.. in my case I hv to take the risk coz need to start the reno asap...now jus hope afizan can do a good job for me ..

now i can say im totally unhappy and devasted with this renovation.. i learned a lesson !!

Not abandon.. but delay of completion and some flaw n bad workmanship.. but hafizan insist I should comment only after he deliver the completion.. oh well now I will trust him again.. im not here to spoild someone rice bowl but I hope everything will be fine as insisted by him but I learned a lesson this time...

Oh well now I jus hope the worker can complete by next week so I can move back asap.. coz cant afford to pay another 1month rent to my neigbour coz renting a room. fr her..Supposed completion by end july.. now I hv to beg neigbour to rent extra 1 week n not sure weather it will be completed on time or not.. I will post all the photos upon completion so everybody can judge of the workmanship n quality later

Well.. it can be completed as schedule if the contractor allocate the same amount of worker to work on my site, coz he having another bigger project so only first week the progress is fast but from 2-3week, sometime only 2 person come to work and slow down the progress.. !

So for the past few days I try to go to the site as often as I can to check on the progress.. and really help speeding things up abit.. raya is coming soon, and hopefully as promised the flooring can be install so I can start moving back my stuff back..

Yes no supervispor.. worker jus come and do thier work according verbally by the contractor and follow the marking by the contractor, for the past week I was on the site everyday to make sure all thing done properly as there was mistakes for the pass few weeks tat worker did not see the marking properly or jus confused of the work they are doin.. well I guess on my case.. im the supervisor la..

Now worker finished painting, but still 1 aircorn not installed and a exaust fan is missing in 1 toilet still not install.. been asking but say coming to install but never arrived. Payment already paid 2 weeks ago.

Now painting done n later install will damage the wall n ceiling again I guess

Latest update..Another bad news for me.

Flooring cannot be installed this week, only on 15th..Kitchen cabinet on 21th .. wondering why took so long as flooring I also paid full 2 weeks ago
Also 80% contract price paid.. dont want to argue anymore becoz of Hari Raya..

Lol. . My job is just ikan bilis only ard30-35k,

Well I need to go to check everyday sometime stay few hours at site for the past week, becoz if im away evetytime when im back i will find mistakes or flaws.

And I pay according to wat my contractor told 30% -then 50% n upon completion 20% (and also flooring, aircorn, lights all paid) . Tats why im quite upset I try to give him payment fast swhen he request so he can deliver my house but now I still hv yo wait at least 2weeks, mayb up to 4 weeks if promised is not fulfill again

Yes im doin laminate flooring6 .. now schedule install laminate flooring on 15, then kitchen cabinet on 21 as been told

Im still waiting the laminate flooring to be installed.. been reschedule a few time due to various reason by contractor.. everything is kinda stuck now..

when he say he can handle the laminate flooring at first so i was like ok.. let him handle so he can cordinate , that was 1 month ago . so after that he ask me to pay full becoz he say supplier need full payment upon confirm the job.. ok.. well i was like fine.. i transfer full amount to him like 3 weeks ago.. then after that work delay , reschedule few times installation and never come, last week then told me the design i want no stock, so i have to choose another pattern which i am not really like, but i have no choice coz i cant stand the delay already, now he say tomorow will come and install , i hope the laminate flooring staff will come la

Here are some photo of my house now

Basically most of the work been completed 2 weeks ago, now just waiting the laminate flooring and kitchen cabinet to be install and touch up work after this , so far workmanship so so , wall are very rough coz not skim according to worker , not didnt not told need to skim by contractor , painting not balance still need to touch up again after floor n kitchen cabinet done according to contractor. Metal grill quality are so so , painting on grill look so rough n not balance . only plaster ceiling look nice to me .....so far if its not too bad i wont conplain la , coz im on tight budget so i go for cheap ...

now i jus want this renovation to complete asap so i can move in soonest possible.. furniture n electrical shop keep chasing for delivery becoz been reschedule a few times.. stress
