Why Reliability Matters in Home Interior Renovation

Renovating your home should be an exciting journey, not a stressful ordeal. From restructuring staff to unfinished homes, homeowners have been left stranded. Here’s what we can learn from these cautionary tales and why Hamidnsons, a homegrown firm with 36 years of experience, continues to stand as a trusted name in interior design Singapore.

Case Study 1: When Firms Collapse from Within

📰 The Straits Times recently reported that 10 former staff of a local interior design company filed complaints over unpaid commissions, amounting to over $118,000.

On the surface, this looks like an internal employer–employee dispute. But the real impact runs much deeper especially for homeowners who entrusted their renovation to the firm.

How It Affects Homeowners When a Firm Collapses:

• Abandoned Projects: If designers and contractors walk out due to unpaid salaries, your renovation may suddenly grind to a halt.

• Disappearing Point of Contact: Homeowners often find themselves stuck without updates, accountability, or anyone willing to finish the job.

• Financial Loss: With payments already made upfront, clients may have little recourse in recovering their money once the firm folds or enters a dispute.

• Delays & Stress: Renovations left hanging mean families can’t move in as planned, leading to rental extensions or temporary housing costs.

• Quality Risks: Even if the project continues, unhappy staff and cash-strapped firms may cut corners to reduce costs leaving defects for homeowners to discover later.

Unfortunately, these stories are not isolated. They reveal the fragility of smaller or unstable firms that may look attractive on price but lack the financial backbone to weather challenges.

Case Study 2: The Cost of Cutting Corners

Another recent story highlighted by Mothership involved a young BTO homeowner whose dream home turned into months of frustration. Despite being promised a 1.5-month renovation, her home remained incomplete after four months.

How This Affects Homeowners When Firms Underperform or Collapse:

• Extended Timelines: A project meant to take weeks can drag on for months, disrupting move-in plans and causing extra rental or storage costs.

• Financial Strain: Poor workmanship often requires rectification, meaning homeowners end up paying more than their original budget.

• Emotional Stress: Instead of excitement, homeowners face frustration, arguments, and uncertainty.

• Loss of Trust: Once a firm shows instability or lack of accountability, homeowners feel trapped with the money invested but can’t rely on promises being fulfilled.

• Risk of Collapse Midway: If a boutique firm loses staff or runs into cash-flow problems mid-renovation, projects can be abandoned, leaving families in misery.

This case shows that while smaller or newer firms may appear attractive with shorter timelines or lower costs, the lack of established systems and accountability often means homeowners bear the brunt when things go wrong.
