The perfectionist workmanship is what everybody looking for in renovation. When everybody says this is beautiful, it is beautiful. After completion of the renovation works, what everyone wants to receive during the handover of the house is a product with no defects. Having said that, in the renovation, most products require man-made to achieve which is also the reason you’re paying so much for labor cost in Singapore rather than the material. Therefore, when a product is created by man-kind, we do not expect it to reach a perfection standard unless it is machine fabricated, which is also near to perfect. Not to mention that we, ourselves also cannot be perfect in our life while doing things or working.
Good things don’t come cheap, if you receive an extremely cheap quotation compare to the rest, you better be extra careful. Price is always the main factor not just in the renovation, but for everything you are buying, doesn’t means cheap mean perfect price. “Money is not the problem, but the problem is no money,” said Lawrence Ng, CEO of Invictus Interior Design Pte Ltd. Perhaps, there is no fixed price for all the renovation items you purchase especially when it is just repaired works which require both products and labor works. However, getting an average price will be reasonable for doing up your house renovation or repair works, as such, the key highlight should be getting a few companies to provide a quotation to compares to select.
On the other hand, having good services doesn’t mean that the price is good, likewise, having good workmanship also doesn’t mean service is good. On the Ministry of Renovation (MOR), we created a balanced triangle to tackle these three factors namely “price”, “service” and “workmanship”. Hence, homeowners can select factors like “price” to get the best offer in that particular service sector, say carpentry. Additionally, the user can also choose to select both of the factors or all the three above. As mention in the last articles that the artificial intelligence in the system will extract the information you are looking for and do the algorithm sum up calculation base on the checker you checked.
What’s more in this system is that the contractor companies will shift their position automatically based on what has been checked by the user. Hence, the balance triangle will come into place to calculate the algorithm of the factors, not to mention that every day, the position of the services contractors will be changed if there are any reviews reviewed by any homeowners in their portfolio.
