Managing house / apartment renovation is not easy. It's freaking headache, and in my case, it's just interior works with simple built-in cabinet, kitchen cabinet and small area of floor tiling. I can't imagine myself dealing with bigger, more complex works. To make matter worse, I'm thousand of miles away from Malaysia and the contractor that was presentable and looked like someone you could rely on is far fetched. He's obviously a trustworthy person, no doubt, but I guess he just takes things too easily and over relies and trusts his workers (who are with questionable skills). While on a business trip in KL recently I managed to find a time to quickly check out my place in KK. It's in a mess! The whole place was simply a dump site. With torn light wrappers and boxes all over the places, and left over food etc., it was disgusting. The cabinets which I had hoped to admire appeared to be as good as used units - it was dissapointing. I was quite surprise when the contractor himself, when asked, replied "shocked to see the shoddy workmanship". How could you be shocked of your own people's quality of work, unless they had been picked up from the street just for the job.
After getting a mouthful from me, he promised to clear the place, and at final inspection, if I'm not happy with any parts of the cabinets, he will replace them. Fine, but I doubt I would get better replacements.
The whole quality of the apartment workmanship also sucks! I was hoping to see all the defects I'd reported to be fixed. Far from it. In fact none of it. What the f. That's 1Borneo for you (http://www.1borneo.net).
