We are very happy Derrius managed to deliver what we wanted.
In short: Good quality materials with Professional and experienced ID.
Derrius can provide good and sound advice and is very responsible.
I have done 3 renovations in my life.
Went for the cheap on my first ID. There were a lot of hiccups and errors. To make matters worse, the quality and workmanship was bad. In the long run, there were a lot of issues and additional costs incurred.
Hence on my second renovation, I engaged Derrius from Weiken for my Centre. They were not the cheapest in the market but also not the most expensive. The price quoted was in fact one of the lower ones among the reputable firms.
The most notable difference was the difference in quality of material. My previous carpentry feels hollow, but the current ones feel solid. Fast forward 6 years, scratches on my vinyl flooring were barely visible even though there is a lot of human traffic at my workplace.
Last year, when I got my new place. Derrius was still in Weiken. So, I engaged him again for my new place.
Unfortunately, right before the start of the renovation, we discovered termite. Derrius walk us through on what needs to be done and patiently waited 2 months plus for the termite infestation to be resolved without charging us any delay fees.
He gave us a lot of practical insights which we overlooked during planning. Simple things like having narrow walking space if we purchase a dining table that is too big. He taped up our proposed dining table size and let us have a good feel of how big the walking space will be even though this was not part of his job scope. Whenever there is a new installation, he will take a video with clear explanation and send it to us.
If he is not able to fulfil something, he will also be upfront with us. For example, we wanted an anti-termite door with lifetime warranty. Weiken does not have it, and he introduced Bumi Megah to us.
He was also not pushy. He brought in an aircon contractor for us to compare our quote but never insisted on us taking them up.
I think as a consumer, the most important thing is to have a peace of mind after moving in and an honest and responsible ID to overlook the whole process as we cannot be there to micromanage every single second. Derrius checks all the boxes.
We are very happy he managed to deliver what we wanted.
