1. It's not recommended to take the one size fit all developer package. Many have regretted as the quality is 13 months. Warranty is 12 mos.
2. One size fit all (single point of contact) with good quality -
hire an ID firm - price also include project management fees.
Because whilst a pilot may be very good at flying planes, if he is not well trained in ground operations, he can flip the baggage truck over within 10 mins.
Same goes to contractors.
Not to mention, there have been many idiotas (wannabe faux electricians) who mishandle wiring work (electrical).
QUOTE
--Developer crony contractor, install water heater with undersized wiring. Cable burnt (obviously) just to save that RM3 (for a properly sized cable not even a meter long)
--Developer installed socket, never screwed in the cable. Immediately popped loose when I just opened the socket.
--Reversed wiring L-N become N-L. Still not too bad, still 230V, but can kill you if you touch an old appliance metal cover.
--Phase-to-phase miswiring in 3-phase installation. From 230V become 415V. Bada bing bada boom.
--Screwing sockets onto the insulation rather than on the copper part of the cable.
--Failure to follow regulations and guidelines or simple thing like colour code.
3. To maximise your budget and how far it can go, appoint the right specialists for the right job will be less hassle.

- Hacking for the new pipe run can also be done by gen con- AC relocation & AC installation by AC installer. There is some trick to collecting up the existing gas in the pipes back into the AC unit and then need to vacuum out the pipe before extending to new spot.
