SGA Singaporean family faced significant financial losses after their home renovation project turned into a disaster. Initially planning a budget of around S$80,000, the family ended up spending S$216,000 due to unexpected additional costs, delayed work, and a contractor who eventually disappeared. The contractor requested multiple extra charges for tasks such as hacking, carpentry, and electrical work, which were not part of the original agreement. Additionally, the family was asked to make payments directly to the contractor's personal account rather than the company's. When the renovation was finally completed, the family discovered major flaws, including incomplete work and substandard finishes.
