Avoid upcoming problems and/or scams.

It is common in Thailand that the full payment is divided into two or three-part payments. This is fair for both the buyer and the contractor. "Before work starts, midterm, and when finished and approved by the customer is common".

NEVER pay up 100% before work starts. The cheapest offer you get is always suspicious, especially if it is "too" cheap.

Issue # 1

Here is what could happen and often do: You chose the cheapest alternative, being a cheap Charlie. The contractor starts to work. After the contractor worked for a while he/she tells you that money is not enough to complete the work done. You oppose this, of course since you have an agreement. This will end up with the contractor leaving and never coming back. They did work already with a good profit. Nothing you can do about that.
Now you need to get a new contractor which is not easy. Serious contractors do not want to take up a partial job done by someone else, to risky. If you managed to find someone willing to complete the job then do not be a Cheap Charlie again, you could end up with the same problem one more time. In all, you probably by now have to pay more in total than you would have if you chose the more expensive offer at the beginning.

Issue # 2

When choosing the cheapest quotation you can be sure that all the material used will be of the absolute cheapest quality, probably the workers will also be. You will be aware of this later when problems start to occur. It was not cheap after all.

Example: A customer tried to put in an electric plug into the socket. It was not possible. I opened up the socket and this is what came out. No joke, all the content fell out onto the floor. I checked the origin and it was made in China, cheap, but not so cheap after all.

We changed all the sockets in the house to Panasonic, high quality sockets.

Issue #3

Always ask the contractor how long it will take to finish the work. This will be an estimate that could mean a shorter time or a longer time for work. A longer time could be damaging for you as a customer for many reasons. Make sure the contractor has the manpower available to add extra workers.

Issue #4

Want to install a glass wall and/or a customized shower cabinet? If you choose a cheap contractor chances are that they will install standard glass because it is cheaper. This is potentially life-threatening. You need to install tempered glass. Tempered glass will not produce dangerous pieces of glass that easily cut into your body when things go wrong. All cars have tempered glass for that reason.

Things can go wrong regardless of what contractor you choose. Human errors happen. That is why it is important that the contractor is obliged to fix the problem for free after work is finished. Will the cheapest contractor do that?

I want to use several contractors and choose the cheapest offer from each.  Our company does not accept "cherrypicking". Good luck with your decision.

Can we do an estimated quotation? Sorry no, that would not be fair for you or us. In order to give you a complete quotation we must come to visit your home to calculate, measure and overlook the total work that needs to be done. An estimate will never be fair because of the different complicity of each work. But do not worry. we will do this all for free.

I am buying a house/condo and need a quotation before I buy. We can do that for you but you or the present owner need to let us inside for evaluation.

Could you start doing the renovation before I buy the house/condo? Only if we receive a written guarantee from the present owner that this is acceptable. The buyer will be responsible for paying for the services.

Can you start work immediately? Wish I could answer this question. It depends on many things. If we have an available workforce the answer is probably yes. Mostly we have a work queue. Our company policy is also that the customer who pays the 60% deposit first gets the work done first.

When can you come to visit for an evaluation? Typically within 1-3 days or faster depending on if we can agree on a day and time.

When can I expect to get the quotation? This will take, normally one day, sometimes the same day, longer if it is a complicated quotation.

When can you start to do the work? After you receive the quotation, you must first accept it, if you want us to do the work. You do this from the quotation (email link, not PDF) we sent to you before, click the green accept button at the top left. Once accepted you will receive an invoice, within seconds, via email. If you can not find the quotation please check your Spam inbox. If still cannot find it, please contact us. Then we can talk about what day we can start work. We can discuss what openings we have available before you accept, but can not guarantee a fixed day to start work until you pay the first deposit.

What are your rules for payment? If your quotation is, in total, under 100.000 THB, you pay a 60% deposit before we start work and the rest when work is done and approved by you. If the quotation is more than 100.000, you pay 60% as a deposit, another 25% midterm, and the rest when work is done and approved by you.
