In recent times, the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) and Singapore Renovation Contractors and Material Suppliers Association (RCMA) launched a joint accreditation scheme for renovation businesses.
Do you have an impression of what this scheme is? Let Carpenters break it down for you to understand. To start with, Carpenters is proud to present we are one of the NINE COMPANIES ONLY in Singapore to be awarded and accredited with RCMA-CASETRUST!
With all the renovation complaints lately over the past years gathered by CASE, more customers have been facing renovation nightmares instead of their dream home. Home renovation is one of the largest expenses subjected by consumers to pay a hefty deposit before a project is completed.
A non accredited company could give you a quotation that fits nicely within your budget or even lower than an accredited company that can also fit your budget too. BUT the difference between these companies is should the non accredited company close down you donโt get your refund back! What a nightmare!
For Carpenters to be accredited with this scheme, it also ensures that we provide top notch materials and interior design services, so you get what you pay for๏ผWe are subjected to a stringent set of criteria, such as trained and ethical sales staff, with clearly articulated and documented policies on fees and fee refund, as well as compulsory on-site workmanship assessment to be conducted by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore.
