Do you use subcontractors for residential remodeling?

No. We use a 100% in-house team for all trades including tiling, joinery, MEP (plumbing, electrical, AC), painting, and glass. This means better quality control, faster completion, and a single point of accountability.

What is the payment structure for residential remodeling?

We use a 50/40/5/5 milestone payment plan: 50% on contract signing, 40% across construction milestones, 5% at pre-handover inspection, and 5% at final handover. No full upfront payment required.
