A unhappy contractor is a unhappy house owner? Or it should be the other way around?
Anyway ... this blog post is about our contractor! Firstly, I must admit that his workmanship is good. We've checked out his projects before we appointed him. His pricing is reasonable and I find it funny that he has a quote "We are not the most expensive nor are we the cheapest, but ..." (it will be a different reason everytime we try to bargain with him), something like Phuah Chu Kang's "The best in Singapore, JB and some even say Batam" ...
Ok, ok, back to the story ... from the begining when we hire him, we forewarned him that we are kind of DIY people. We will source for our own, roofing, windows, doors, tiles, kitchen cabinets and even electrician. So imagine sometimes, when we consult him for ideas, he reluctantly or rather refuses to give! We actually do value his ideas and comments but he feels that we don't.
Just like yesterday, we've asked him to draw out for us our front facade, what he thinks would look like or what his ideas are. He refuse to draw and said that we know what we want therefore, he will not draw for us. Yikes!!! I mean, we are open to opinion and sometimes what we think is nice to us might not be practical and maybe he has a better idea!
So anyway, this blog post is dedicated to our contractor! Let's hope he opens up and see our point of view too!

Hahahaaha...... show his pix... similar to PCK???
ReplyDeleteUnable to show his picture, nothing at all like PCK. Whatever the differences a house owner and a contractor have, at the end of the day we should maintain a good relationship.
