How it works

How a job usually goes

Nothing starts until you've seen the written quote and agreed to it.

  1. Send photos or call

    WhatsApp a few photos and roughly what you want. I'll tell you straight away if it's something I can do.

  2. I come and look

    I measure up and check the structure, old pipes and wiring. Free within Kuching.

  3. Written quote

    Materials and labour listed separately, with brands and sizes. The price stays the same unless you add work.

  4. Work starts

    I'm on site while the work is done, so you always know who to talk to.

  5. Clean up and hand over

    Debris cleared, the place washed down, keys back to you.

Reviews

What clients said

In their own words, after the job was handed over.

Sample, replace with a client's words
The quote was clear, down to the brand of every material. The final price matched the quote, with nothing added on.
[Mr. Lim][Tabuan Jaya] · Car porch
Sample, replace with a client's words
He was on site every day while the kitchen was extended. Any question, I just asked him directly.
[Mdm. Chan][BDC] · Kitchen extension
Sample, replace with a client's words
Our roof had leaked for years and other patch-ups never held. He found where the water was coming in first, and it hasn't leaked since.
[Mr. Wong][Batu Kawa] · Roof leak

FAQ

Before you decide

How quotes, payment and the work itself are handled.

Didn't find your answer?

Every house is different. Send me a few photos and I'll answer based on your actual situation.

Quotes and payment

Is the site visit and quote free?

Within Kuching, yes. I measure up, check the structure and the existing wiring and plumbing, then give you a written quote. If you're outside Kuching, please check with me first.

What does the quote include?

Materials and labour are listed separately, with brands, specifications and quantities. What is included and what isn't is written down, so there's no confusion later.

Will the cost go up during the job?

The price follows the quote. If you change the design or add work, I quote the extra first and only go ahead once you agree. If opening up reveals a problem with the existing structure or pipes, I show you photos first and we decide together how to deal with it.

How does payment work?

A deposit to start, then progress payments as the work reaches each stage, and the balance at handover. The amount for each stage is set out in the quote.

During the work

How long does a job take?

It depends on the size: roughly [X] weeks for a car porch, [X] weeks for a kitchen extension and [X] weeks for a full renovation. The timeline is written in the quote, and if rain or material delays affect it, I let you know early.

Do extensions need council approval?

Most do. When I visit, I tell you whether your job needs approval and which drawings and documents to prepare, so you know where you stand before deciding.

Can we stay in the house during the work?

In most cases, yes. The work area is closed off, the site is cleaned up at the end of each day, and you are told in advance before water or power is cut.

Who does the work?

My own regular crew, with me on site. The job isn't passed on to anyone else.

After handover

What if something comes up after the job?

I only hand over once you've checked everything and are satisfied. If anything comes up after that, contact me directly. I'll come and take a look, and we'll agree on how to fix it.

Do you take small jobs?

Yes. A window grille, a roof leak, a single bathroom: each gets the same care as a whole house.
