Not only bad contractor but lowsy designer as well.
Not only dont know how to do basic measurement, but don’t even have design sense. Charged 10k for design fee but only do normal contractor work don’t check the quality of the outcome. Workmanship sucks but charge expensive. Beware of annnn design if you’re looking for interior designer, don’t waste your money on this kind of ‘designer’ with no quality. |

QUOTE(Hikari180 @ Nov 29 2021, 03:27 PM) Hi all, please avoid following contractor at all cost. It was the most heartbreaking money i ever spent. Very similar to my experience with NT*Y D&B . Wrong drawing, and even wrong execution not following the drawing, hacked wrong places and simply touch up with cheap materials. Before payment very nice spoken. After payment, blame all her bad workmanship on me saying I'm a demanding customer. Installed ceiling fan without safety wire being secured, leaking sink, leaking windows. And I paid almost 100k to be treated like idiot. Steve Wong Man Fong 014-9391398 company name: home master construction IC end with 6245 when receive 50% up payment, everything is can do attitude. Draw all detail structure drawing for them but still can make it wrong. that was because he never over-see his worker. No communication with his worker and cabinet guy. Lie that was able to finish all in 2 months time, but end up finiding out that cabinet did not promise him the timeline. Always said " others people also reno like this" He doesn't based on owner requirements to do reno. Bring bunch of people up to intimidate owner to pay 40% even-though progress haven't reach 50% Scolds owner, as if i pay him to get scold. AVOID him at ALL COST. you'll spent and had to live with those suck reno.(unless rich enough to do another reno) sofresh liked this post

Just wanna rant that I think there is no single one contractor which will be able to complete the work as per the timeline committed. You will be lucky if the delay is a bit but sometimes the delay will be a lot as well.
Before start doing, always commit the timeline very confidently. After start doing and collect money, i think ALWAYS sure got reason to delay and push out.... |

oh...if your reno starts end of April, actually that is way more than enough time as you have 7 months from May until November (excluding Dec).... my understanding is typically takes 3 months or slightly more only.... but then again, i wasn't expecting 3 months to start with.... but now i'm worried if even 6 months will not be on time also...

![]() QUOTE TWO couples from Selangor have lost about RM540,000 in total after the contractor they hired to renovate their houses failed to complete their work. T. Gopinath and his wife Sudha said they conducted their due diligence before committing to the company concerned, but claimed that they still ended up being duped of RM290,000. They said they vetted several websites, had face-to-face meetings with a few contractors and received quotations from each before settling on one contractor. Unfortunately, one year later, the contractor absconded, leaving their dream home in shambles. Sudha said she looked at home renovation websites and one company, based in Puchong, stood out. "I fell in love with the one with the best design concept," she said, adding the company had good reviews on its website. "We even visited the company's factory to see if they were legit and everything appeared fine so we decided to hire them in March last year,'' added Gopinath at a press conference held by Seputeh MP Teresa Kok in her service centre in Sri Desa Entrepreneurs Park, Kuala Lumpur. However between March and November last year, barely any work was done on the house. "There was only one worker at the site and he only worked one or two days a week. Sometimes, no one was working for two weeks straight,'' said Gopinath. Sudha said not a single room in the house was fully completed, cupboards were missing doors, kitchen cabinets were half done and everything was in disarray. Suspecting something amiss, they went back to the factory when the contractor stopped taking their calls and were shocked to find the factory was no longer operating. Further investigations revealed that others had identical issues with the company concerned, particularly the individual behind it. It is believed that the individual concerned hides behind different names and companies. Another couple, Ronnie Tan and his wife Jamie Lang from Kota Kemuning, had a similar experience with the same contractor whom they paid about RM250,000 to renovate their bungalow. "He did some hacking, painting and carpentry work which was halfway done and showed poor workmanship,'' Lang said. "He was supposed to complete the job in 120 days. There were multiple delays, including days no work was done nor was anyone at the site, and then he stopped taking our calls or messages,'' Lang said. Both couples have filed police reports and are now in the process of taking legal action against the company. Meanwhile, Kok said she would be pursuing the matter with multiple authorities. "I will be writing to the Attorney General's Chambers, the Malaysian Institute of Architects, CIDB (Construction Industry Development Board) and the MCMC (Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission) to investigate the individuals concerned.

Contractors can change hand phone and company easily, so it will be hard to track and name them in this bad list
The best way seems to be go for reputable contractor in the market that has exist for more than 5 years minimum then open discussion with them on our allocated budget and preference, see what can they counter offers. This should be the safer option. Don't just simply take the cheap one that talk like non profession in the line. Also always insist on having a proper black and white contract signed with them and stamp duty it. Don't agree on unreasonable payment term especially huge down payment request.

Sharing from Kopitiam thread: ---> Eum Renovation / One Cabinets, Bad renovation experience QUOTE(PARADISE_HEAVEN @ Sep 8 2022, 02:15 AM) Anyone had bad renovation experience with EUM renovation (under EUM group of companies) before? I have appointed them and they didnt finish work and i have paid them. Now im asking them to refund me back my payment for the job that not done and they unable to refund and give lotsa reason and eventually no reply from them anymore. I have been dealing with the company partner name Glen (phone no 0142455424). I have checked and now they have changed the company name on their facebook to one cabinets. If anyone that had appointed him and had the same bad experience? Not sure if you guys able to get the refund back? QUOTE(kevinxox @ May 8 2023, 07:26 PM) How is the case? Able to get back the refund? I encountered same issue with the same person Glen. Money taken, but with lot of excuse not to complete the renovation. Ask for refund but he said no money lah....like 无赖 QUOTE(PARADISE_HEAVEN @ Jul 19 2023, 12:41 PM) Nole... This guy (Glen Lim) never replied me already... Money lost. This guy can not be trusted. Many excuses and empty promises. I realised he has changed his company FB name from EUM to One Renovation and now Big Tree Artwork.. He continue to post to look for business and not sure how many people going face this situation like us. I tried to contact EUM group but they never responded also. langstrasse liked this post

The phrase "Price is what you pay, value is what you get". It encapsulates an essential concept in business and consumer decision-making.
At its core, the quote suggests that the price you pay for a product or service may not always reflect its true value. Sometimes, a high-priced item may not provide the expected value or quality, while a lower-priced one may exceed expectations in terms of its benefits and utility. When making purchasing decisions, it's crucial to consider the value or benefits you'll receive from a product or service rather than solely focusing on the price tag. The perceived value can include factors like durability, functionality, reliability, customer support, and overall satisfaction. This principle is applicable not only to consumer goods but also to investments, business decisions, and various aspects of life. By understanding the distinction between price and value, individuals and businesses can make more informed choices and prioritize what truly matters to them. ![]() A "sincerely and hard work" contract is not a standard term or type of contract in the traditional sense. Contracts are legally binding agreements between two or more parties that outline the rights and obligations of each party regarding a specific matter. They typically have specific terms and conditions that both parties must adhere to. The importance of sincerity and hard work in a contract or business relationship, it may be more appropriate to include a clause that emphasizes the commitment to act with honesty, dedication, and diligence in fulfilling the terms of the contract. In business, sincerity and hard work are valued traits that contribute to a positive and successful working relationship.
