renovation electrician experts come in

[KnobKnob]

those whom went through renovation using ID, did you go along with the electrician that was recommended by your ID?

I just checked and apparently the electrician that was recommended to me doesn't have a electrician license and he claims as he's on work permit he can't apply for that

Is he much cheaper? Why go for unlicensed if he is same rates as license?

But SG Reno very unregulate, even if licensed company they may still use unlicensed workers. The LEW is just there to rubber stamp

Frankly if ur ID can recommend an unlicensed electrical worker to u, isnt it a red flag?

 

[DragonFire]

Don't play.,. No LEW no talk.
Your home insurance will be voided if there is an incident in future.
If a LEW does final signoff on the fellows work, maybe still ok.
Bottom line is a LEW must be willing to put his name on the signoff document.

grey grey area.

There could be a group of ppl install but only 1 or 2 licensed

in order to obtain a electrical licence in singapore you have to have a poly diploma or higher nitec diploma. so that already disqualifies foreigner.
so what company do is they make sure at least 1 got the license and put him on paper but reality is that many not aware what is being done on site.
if tiyr guy comes direct from JB for sure got no license
