Bad Water Proofing company

Hydro armour
Job : Water Tank storage area water proofing
Problem: Water Tank keep over flow after they install back the tank

They cut my pipe that flow water to toilet so I won't notice over flow and claim they did the job.
Lucky my wife heard water sound so I climb up and saw water tank overflow, end up have to call plumber and spend 150 to fix it..you are screwed if your installation got problem..they won't come back and fix it..

Call the supervisor also FFK..make appointment with the HQ also FFK..

Just sharing my experience with a bad contractor.

I found Mr Lim Swee Weng (012-3060017) doing a major reno opposite my house and asked him to do some reno on my house. Work started in Jun 2019 and should be completed within 3 months. I expected it to complete later as 3 months is too good to be true.

Initially everything was ok and he was quite helpful. Payment was partial according to job done or by month. I was prompt with my payment. Then job progress became slower and his worker became less and less. He's concurrently doing reno for my house and the opposite house and have 3 workers for each house. it gradually reduced to 2 and sometimes 1 for my house. I should have suspected something really wrong when he paid his worker late. Some left because of late salary. He will say house owner never pay him hence he cannot pay them. Worker ask me if it's true and i say my payment is up to date. Since I've been paying him quite prompt, he kept asking money from me almost every month till i felt I've paid almost all my reno cost.

As of last year just before the 1st MCO, he beg me for money saying he needed to pay his supplier and to complete my reno. I did not give his the required amount as I felt I've paid a lot.  I compiled my payment against his quote and remove whatever that is no longer required and found I only owe him a few thousand. Outstanding work worth 20K is still not done !

After MCO when people starting working, he cannot be contacted anymore. He will switch off his phone and only certain times you're able to get him. When ask about completing the job, he would say he needed money to pay for materials and worker. I sat down with him and showed his my outstanding balance is only a few thousand and I should not be paying him till he finish the job. From then on he would only send one worker to do complete my reno. At times he would as me to buy materials as deduct my outstanding. After a few deduction, I no longer owe him money but he owe me instead.

From them on no worker came and he completely avoided mt by not answering my calls and switching off the phone.

Balance work not much now about 5k and i thik he's not going to complete it. I ask other suppliers and they say nothing much I can do and accept the loss. During CMCO few supplier came looking for him claiming he owe them money. His worker also not paid for many months till they left for other jobs.

My advice to you who's doing reno, DO NOT pay your contractor till the job is done especially the last few payment. My feedback from other people is the same. Contractors cannot be trusted.

This contractor is based in PJ and driving a silver Vios W2252Q

Please avoid him at all cost.

I engaged Yap Peng Kim (012-329 1682) this year to do my toilets (retiling, general fixes & plumbing) after reading your reviews about him on LowYat, how good la, how polite, great work done.

But it turned out to be a nightmare, where not only he NEVER showed up even once after getting the contract but his contract workers were not even doing any work, and after taking more than a week to break my toilet tiles, I had to step in and ask him. Turns out his supervisor, Chong Chee Onn (016-332 2826) also wasn't on site, unlike Yap’s promises.

Yap did sloppy work on my toilet, didn’t know much about plumbing, didn’t fix the heater hose properly, just did a half past six job, even didn’t finish the tiling properly, never added grouting for most of the tiles. But he was very busy promoting his relative’s shop to me to buy things from them (some Ga Hing Trading), instead of working on my toilet. Our toilet leaked once they fixed the sink, and his workers didn't even inform us even while we were on-site. We found out from management about this leak due to complaints from our downstairs neighbour. We had to follow up with him AND his workers to repair the leak and do our own water ponding test to check if it was fixed or not. He even told us another nonsense story about his supervisor left and he was so busy with other contracts he had.

When asked on the progress, he always said "don’t worry, small matter", for a work he promised to finish in 2 weeks, took more than a month and a lot of our own time to supervise- he never once came to supervise on his foreign workers, even after I asked him to check on the work done, as it was quite sloppy, he kept giving excuses to not come and check. He even said he thought we were not serious about the date that was discussed and agreed upon in the contract.

Worse is the lighting to our toilets, it was done in a really bad way, that the housing fell after a few months and we found out from another electrician that we engaged that the bulbs were not fixed and were free-hanging.

He is very condescending towards females, and will launch a tirade justifying why his workers haven’t finished the work within the deadline, but won’t address the actual issue with you, which is to ask his workers and supervisor to be on site and DO WORK! And by do work, I mean do QUALITY WORK, not sloppy work!

Towards the end, he instructed his workers to hide my house keys, and wanted us to pay in full asap (before inspecting) and launched a BS story about his deputy Chong stealing my keys, and he lodged a police report on his deputy. He STILL did not want to meet us to inspect the unit for defects together before we make the payment! Really a nightmare to hire Yap Peng Kim! Stay away from him at all cost! NEVER AGAIN  !

A word of advice to the rest of you, please do remember to add in a clause in your renovation contract about penalty for late delivery of the property.

Jeez...this is really a sad case. 
Like some readers in this thread, I was also on the lookout for a reliable contractor but upon reading these kind of horror stories, I'll avoid some of the mentioned contractors at an arm's length. 

If you don't mind me asking, so how's the condition of your house now? Still many things undone?
What about the renovation parts that Mr Lim has done earlier? Is it all OK? Was the workmanship good quality or you need to fork out more money to rectify Mr Lim's errors? 

Is it this company?

Can you show some prove to show us, so we might be avoid from him, if you cannot proved that... that are meaning you are trying to talk Nonsense at this forum!
I’m fully support Mr Yap and he doing very well done job at the oval Resideces Klcc .
Please make sure that your words are correct and can show us the shit problem he been done.

The pricing are slightly high, but still ok if all worker are skill foreign worker, but must not a bangla. That should be fine from my opinion. Thanks
