Also stay away from IT Design and Builders Sunway, they are run by a bunch of Bangladeshis hidden behind local representatives. They have no civil engineer qualification and certification. Their electrician are from Bangladesh and workers that cannot be relied upon. Always making mistakes and have to be taught by the customer how to do their job. Charge quite cheap but dont be penny wise pound foolish.
Everything can do .... hahaha engage at your own risk

Dear all,

For those who getting or just got a new home and want to start your new dream home renovation, i truly wish you have a good and happy renovation journey.

Personally, renovation supposedly is a family project that you build your dream home and sharing the idea of makeover with your loves one and seeing your house building up & completion day by day with realizing your own way of design. These are something really a cherishing moment and priceless process experiences.
But if you met bad contractors, contradictory all these will become a nightmare, and might cause you in short term financial headache

Haizzz!! Unfortunately, this happened to me.
They runaway with my money and leaving shitty undone behind.
Do not get me wrong where some people might think that i must be looking for a cheapest contractors.
However & inversely i was actually compared at least 4 contractors and the one I "LUCKILY" picked are among the highest (at least 30% expensive than other).

Here are some bad experiences I faced:
- Using cheap materials and not as promised during jobs RFQ.
- Very bad quality of work
- Not instruct & delegating jobs clearly & accordingly to their workers, ends up a lot mistake and causing unwanted damage to my house
- They do not have their own worker, mostly are temporary foreigner worker & also outsource work to unknown contractor (During RFQ, they mentioned proudly they have over 50 workers )
- Maybe is because of unknown contractor applied, stealing & lost happened(reusable items after dismantled during reno -  example: Water faucet, shower head, kitchen sink, doors & locks, and many more). Both siblings agreed to replace with same brands & model for lost items. But you should know what next........(maybe both them got to know that those lost items sum up are a huge amounts.)
- Not monitor work progress
- A lot excuses. not walk the talk
- Not punctual, things keeps delay
- Work not according to schedule
- Hard to reach them by call. Even though picked up, both of this brother will pushing responsibilities to each others
- Collecting progress payment - Yes! they are damn fast and efficient and will show face very frequently during that period of time at your house to monitor work progress
- Keep requesting for additional pay (best excuses: "These items are not covered in quote")
- etc.......... (I don't have to mention them all, as I guess those bad contractors sharing the same characteristics that you might also know)

These guys really have a lot mobile phone numbers until i can't remember/saved all.
But now it make sense to me when these brotherhood take turn to pickup phone call during our met at site(but mostly dropping instead picking up).
And for god sake, who the hell of this world a person got to registered that such amount of FB accounts?

Both this siblings previous project stories was later told by my others contractor that I hire to picking up their left over mess. That they already have very bad records in Klang area where mostly are runaway owners money and even runaway his own contractors and worker's money after works done.
So, that is why i want to post it here to avoid same case happen again to other owners.
I might not the first 1 got cheated by them, but i really hope i will be the last!!!

Please do not drop into a bad contractor tricks like what I stupidly been. I truly hope with the power of internet we all can at least avoid(after this case, i studies and learnt after some research through web. I was really upset with our consumers and legal right on such case/situation - Those been into such situation will know what i meant  )
Eventually, for those are planning for renovation, hope you have a good hunt for Good Contractors. Good Luck!!!

in new housing area...i was told tat middlemen will control the area...so no one can come in...they control the skill workers ie bangla, indon etc....macam2.....

Not sure the one you are referring to list similar to this

my contractor used cement bricks instead of clay bricks as stipulated in the quotation. as i m quite busy, i dont go to the site frequently, even if i do, its a quick stop n go. by the time i realized he used cement bricks, more than half of the house is done.

what can i do about this? i dont want him to replace with clay bricks because he has delayed my house too long and i m rushing to move in.

he is on this forum too so i dont want to reveal too much details

Hi guys.

Just finished renovation to my dream home recently. I used the same contractor as previously.

I wanted to share a bit on my experience with Mr Yap's services.

For starters, he is very accommodating with your requests and can easily give you pros and cons for your request. And he help overcome the con so that you still get what you want without compromising quality.

Since we are living in the same house during the renovation process, the workers even make sure to keep everything clean while working indoors. They do a good job and follow up with all my requests. Especially when I wanted to a small gate to the entrance of my house. Very pleasant.

It is definitely a good experience and I'm so glad that I did not have to go through any horror stories like what I have read here.

Pricing was definitely reasonable as I compared with several companies on Kaodim and it was still within my budget. Not to mention the fact that he overlook minor fixes in order to help out.

Mr Yap even went above and beyond to make sure the job was done satisfactorily. Last day of reno, he personally show up (even though he did not have to) and fixed up last items with his team of technicians. I really appreciated that gesture.

Mr Yap's work in both my houses definitely left a lasting good impression. Will definitely recommend his service and can vouch his good work.

my family have a factory which built up is about 3500sqf and about 30 ft height...we thinking to do concrete/steel mezzanine floor...the area of the mezzanine is about 3000sqf....can anyone here recommend me the contractor who can do this? do we need to have an architect to submit the building plan for approval?

I am currently engaging Yap for my condo renovation but my experience with him so so only.

The electrical work especially because it is done by other person.

However I have to say he is a responsible contractor and he will attend to all your requests

You will need to know whether it is defects/bad workmanship or wear & tear. Not everything falls under defects. Eg is silicone will have to be re-applied every few yrs due to the severe heat here no matter how good the silicone is.
Usually renovation do not touch structure, just architecture stuffs unless extension.
