NO harm on trying indonesian workers.. now construction work (wet work) mostly done by indons. For indons u nid to have certain experience to guide them or at least find someone to guide them.. drawings are essential as guidelines. Walk around ur neighbourhood and look around for those houses doing renovation, dont be shy to ask for contacts, the more the better. Have someone to draught out what u nid for renovation rather then just brief info's. One thing to keep in mind, do not do last minute works and do plan what u nid to do.
We have just had a reno nightmare..( see post today 29/7/12) We have made a lot of mistakes and literally paying for it now . My advice to prevent anyone suffering like us-1. get a few quotes - make sure as detailed as possible ,make sure understand terms, read up what Rc pillar is for instance
2. DO NOT Believe everything u read in ID magazines , we took contractor from magazine , we did not know he subcontracts so we had a very , very horrible subcontractor who did not supervise project so end product was definitely not worth the RMXXX K we paid
3. Indons are so-so ( some OK) but are terrible if no one overlooks them. Towards the end we had to take time off work and supervise ourself bit still unhappy with finished project
3.Go look physically at finished project . Dont believe a word the contractor says. Most just want to get business as much profit as possible
4.When u think u found contractor run through the contract document with a lawyer
WE R STILL LOOKING FOR ANOTHER RELIABLE CONTRACTOR...
