I actually I’ve no idea too. But so far that’s what I got from all the IDs. Some of them are friendly that they told me the budget I had it’s only doable go for contractor choice.

hi, no problem at all. thought it'll be helpful to others since i was clueless when i started this renovation.

yes, initially i wanted to engage ID, but after discussing with few IDs, I realised I don't have that type of budget (almost double than the actual budget).

after completing the project, i dont dare recommend this contractor, that is why i dont really pass their contact to anyone. in terms of communication they are okay but it terms of workmanship, im not really satisfied.

Yea, I do understand the the consideration on contractor here. Currently also in the dilemma of should I choose the contractor that have fast respond (The quotation is done with details in 4 days) but less number of review (based on their social media account) or go for another that have quite a good review from their previous customer, but slower respond to me (still yet to receive quotation after 2 weeks time). Maybe my project it’s just too small for them.

So hard to decide…

Small project usually will cost a little more. So base on price, can have a feel if the work can be trusted

Recently bought a house and now undergoing defects, but the management office called and asked to check if the tiles we are okay with it. The problem is this happens to other owners as well. And, the management threaten if I don't agree with the tiles, then I have no choice but to wait. And the management said other owners at first doesn't agree to it but as they wait, they have no choice but to agree to it. Want to know if this is legal?
