I decided to change contractor to Mr T ( will be using a different one from what I blogged previously) <\/p>\n

Reasons:
\n1) My parents feels that Mr T is better as his package is comprehensive and comes with the hob\/stove, sink\/tap – We don’t have to source for it
\n2) Carpentry quality is good and nice. We saw about 5 of his showflats in sengkang\/punggol area. Comes with soft hinges
\n3) Pricewise is reasonable<\/p>\n

To me, I just feel that Mr T is about my parents age and they feel that he is more experienced<\/p>\n

After meeting up with Mr T for about 4 times ( 1X last yr with BH, 2X last yr with my parents, 1X this year with my mum) my parents were VERY bought over by him. I mean.. there’s NOTHING wrong with him – he’s just a contractor who is loittering at every new estate. I heartlessly turned the original contractor down and sign with Mr T on 12 June <\/p>\n

Problems with original contractor:
\n1) Takes long to get back to me with updated quote
\n2) Promise to give me quote and drawings on FRIDAY BUT i didn’t rec anything from him! He didn’t even bother to email\/sms\/call me that he can’t meet his deadline. <\/p>\n

However, I was willing to give him a try because he’s my friend’s friend. Sigh… My parents just think original contractor is insincere and I was just wasting my time<\/p>\n

True enough, I’m surprised HOW quickly Mr T work! On the very day I signed the contract, he also supplied his LOCK to secure my place. Next we went to his showroom to choose paint colours and carpentry laminates! wah… Today, he came down and told me how to run the aircon trunking ( which the technicans didn’t listen) and his worker also placed tiles in our home already. According to him, he will lay floors with protection and painting + wet works will start tml! I think IF i engaged him once I reach SG, my home will be done or almost done by NOW!
