All renovation projects always most problematic at the end one. It’s like a rite of passage haha. I’ve done 3 times, once for my first BTO, then my parents’ BTO, then my resale. So it will be over soon!! Honestly, after 3x with contractor, my current opinion is just spend a bit more and find a good ID haha. But good IDs can be hard to find. I still went with contractor for my resale because all the good IDs were already booked out. Now I rather set a budget and do less things properly with an ID, than go for cheaper contractor to do more stuff. Because end up the small issues here and there more annoying than having less things done, plus all the stress during the 3 months of reno which I really hate. Contractor towards the end will just tend to blame on the client… say never say clearly or “industry standard”… 还钱了事 is the way to go for me now haha. I regretted “saving money” with contractor with my resale even though it’s still okay lah. From a veteran renovation + clean freak designer/homemaker 😂 see the switch off 1mm also sian. Maybe your next home you will think the same as me. 😂 But my downlights + curtains I also ordered from Taobao. Haha.
"good ID" to me feel very subjective, and also wouldn't really know only if you have worked with them. ultimately we are the one staying in the house and not the ID. and i feel it's very difficult or close to impossible to meet an ID/contractor that truly treat your house as their own. luckily i am quite hands on and the OCD me also cannot stand all the off alignments 😂😂😂 so most of the stuffs if i can do it myself i will just do it, instead of communicating with the contractor (which is super tired) and ended up with not the things that i wanted. taobao best choice for me!!!! because no need to deal with all the communicating and sometimes black face owner! hahahah
@@JavenConnieI don’t know man, because I see contractor handiwork and good ID one really got difference 😢 I’ve visited so many homes already and did so much homework. so next time I would rather not have the stress. Even if it’s fixable, the process to fix it is mafan hahaha. But probably no more next time for me hahaha. But if you enjoy it then it’s fine lah of course! Just after doing accounting (lol) the money saved for me I feel not worth the effort haha. Good IDs really make a world of a difference when I see some people’s homes. It’s on a level contractors can’t even reach sadly, and homeowners ultimately not an expert in reno and will always have regrets and miss out stuff, no matter how much homework I do. Even as I cleaned and redecorated my old place for 9 years, also had a lot of stuff I missed out on in my new house that I saw other IDs do better. Haha hopefully your reno will end well and your move in is smooth!
My ID's contractor used only three hinges for the door covering the bomb shelter, and it's a mirrored door, which is significantly heavier. Either I should be concerned about the adequacy of my three hinges, or your contractor's use of nine hinges is over-engineered.
yes it has better load bearing. whole drawer attached to the rail by just the 2 clips. when pulling drawer out, the rear part of the drawer actually lifted off the rail. maybe its because the drawer is empty also 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
9:48 most of the carpenters in Singapore built this type of hidden drawer in this way unless u specific 😅.. 10:34 this is very very innovative 😆😆, later when u need to adjust the door for misalignment, u have 9 hinges to tune 🥲
aiyo! can feel your pain wor... finishing project liao... how come dont take more care and QC all the way to the end... I hope you have a defect liability period so that you still can get them to rectify all this "niao" things...
@@JavenConnie go according to the contract/agreement lor. no choice. dont settle for less. if they did screw up and not according to what was agreed on, dont let them go.
i see your ep of reno , i feel as the owner come to check onsite too much until the contractor feel unhappy about it , i feel as owner need to give so free time to them to reno your house . if you are not happy with your reno you can feedback to your ID about it , if this doesnt solve then change other ID instead. Hope this will help you .
thanks for watching! my perspective as an owner, i feel if you do not show face on site or check enough, the workers will laze even more. but of course this is just my point of view. from the start of reno, we did not rush them even once, we even told them to take their time. also, we engaged a contractor instead of ID. what we're angry at is all these issues happening at the last mile of our project with them. stay tuned for more videos! cheers😀
Shag, ur bomb shelter 9 hinges. My wardrobe missing hinges. Now contractor alot alibaba 1. My master bedroom wardrobe do wrong 4 times den they alibaba modified and drill till my whole wardrobe like bee hive. Du lan ask them take down everything make a new 1 send back. U guys see got any black and white ask them to install 5 hinges or not if got ask them redo everything liao cos once take out the hinges sure will have holes. Just wack them ask them redo new 1
lucky your carpenter still redo for you! our 9 hinges was additional 4pc from original 5pc. we asked them to add more and yeah they really add more so we no choice only can 😐
@JavenConnie they have to redo for me I make alot of noise and ask my ID he can accept meh so many hole and just sticker cover it. I told him if they don redo I will gonna make things very big and ugly for them. Cos is too much liao abit defect I can under stand nth is 100% but this is purely workmanship and communication issue and even is free, I not gonna sit down there and accept it. Maybe u should try talk to their boss 1st see what they gonna do or say. Maybe ask for discount also better cos it make more sense to them to give discount to close the case den redo everything they lose even more money, as in the material, transport and man effort.
i believe they would not risk their reputation (if they are reputable 😂) if it's not anything that got out of hands! ultimately, they're doing someone else's house and not their own house 🙃
@@JavenConnie I engage livspace but to be honest abit regret finding them to do long story. Well I believe everyone do have their redo bad experience. But for me as a 1st time owner doing reno engage them really leg jelly won't not engage them again for sure I know.

My ID's contractor used only three hinges for the door covering the bomb shelter, and it's a mirrored door, which is significantly heavier. Either I should be concerned about the adequacy of my three hinges, or your contractor's use of nine hinges is over-engineered.
I think that kind of drawer rail has better load bearing. What you mean by 'free play'?
yes it has better load bearing. whole drawer attached to the rail by just the 2 clips. when pulling drawer out, the rear part of the drawer actually lifted off the rail. maybe its because the drawer is empty also 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
9:48 most of the carpenters in Singapore built this type of hidden drawer in this way unless u specific 😅.. 10:34 this is very very innovative 😆😆, later when u need to adjust the door for misalignment, u have 9 hinges to tune 🥲
9 hinges you can diy shelvings on the door.. very load bearing door 😁😁😁😁😁😁.
yeap we knew after some research on the drawer rails, luckily not something serious~~ for the 9 hinges, luckily i’m not the one adjusting 😂😂
