Frequently Asked Questions

About Interior Finishes & Site Coordination

Q: What's the difference between your execution and a regular contractor?

A: We bring factory-level quality control to site execution—defined processes, QC checkpoints, photo documentation, and systematic coordination. Regular contractors work reactively with ad-hoc quality checks. We work proactively with engineered processes and measurable accountability.

Q: Do you handle false ceiling even if we're not doing millwork with you?

A: Yes. We execute interior finishes as a standalone service. However, our strength is coordinated execution—when we handle millwork + lighting + false ceiling together, we eliminate vendor conflicts and ensure seamless integration.

Q: Can you match paint colors to existing walls?

A: Yes, through spectrophotometer color matching. Bring us a sample or we'll visit the site for measurement. We'll create test patches for approval before full application. Note: Exact matches are challenging with aged/faded paint—we recommend repainting entire walls for uniformity.

Q: What if I want to use materials I've already purchased?

A: We can install client-supplied materials with a few conditions: materials must meet quality standards, we verify quantities before starting, and warranty coverage is limited to workmanship (not material defects). Generally, we prefer to procure materials to ensure quality control.

Q: How do you ensure level false ceilings?

A: Laser levels for initial marking, theodolite for large areas, and manual level checks every 2 meters during framework installation. Level tolerance: ±2mm over 3 meters. We document levels with photos before board installation—you can verify accuracy before we proceed.

Q: What's the warranty on interior finishes?

A: 1-year workmanship warranty covering defects in installation (ceiling cracks, tile lifting, paint peeling due to poor prep). Material defects covered by manufacturer warranty (we facilitate claims). Damage from misuse, water seepage, or structural issues not covered.

Q: Can you work around existing furniture?

A: Preferably not—interior finishing requires empty rooms for proper prep and protection. If unavoidable, we'll cover and protect furniture, but risk of dust/damage increases. Best results come from empty spaces. We can work room-by-room if you're occupied during renovation.

Q: How do you handle site cleaning?

A: Daily cleaning protocols—debris removed at end of each day, dust sheets protect finished areas, final deep cleaning before handover. Cleanliness is part of our quality process, not an afterthought. We believe professional execution includes professional site discipline.

Q: What if there are site delays from other contractors?

A: We maintain buffer timelines and coordinate closely with all trades. If delays occur, we re-sequence work to minimize impact. However, prolonged delays may require rescheduling our teams. Clear communication and weekly coordination meetings prevent most issues.

Q: Do you handle exterior painting and waterproofing?

A: Yes, exterior weather-coat painting and basic waterproofing (terrace, balconies). For complex waterproofing issues (basement tanking, facade restoration), we work with specialist sub-contractors but maintain single-window accountability for coordination.
