Do you really think that once the money is in there grubby little hands they are going to spend for no reason or no gain.

beaker,, when you say things like that if reflects more about you , your attitude and your business sense, more than the builder that's building the project.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I'm just trying to understand how someone would pay for something that is just a sketch up drawing ?

And again I ask :
Why on earth would they finish a project if they already have sold them and have the money ?

You know when you don't answer or can't answer or won't answer it doesn't look good.
And it's not like there aren't many unfinished projects all over the KOW by seemingly well funded and honorably people.
Here the one that does the ripping off is the smart and shrewd one and will even brag to others about it. The losers are thought to be stupid and gullible.
Your not going to get any kind of a refund or awarded and judgments if the don't do as they say .
I don't think paying up front here even if you are just remodeling or building a small home is a wise thing to do. Khmers don't do it that way that I have seen they pay as the work progresses with the bulk on completion.
I'll bet this bulider isn't paying up front

Minimal supporting columns with very little rebar throughout. Tons of cheap red brick held up by next to nothing. Usual Cambo construction that will be painted white and have black fungus on it next year. Didn't see any pilings being driven to support the ground floor slab. No 45 degree supports for side to side movement, no support in the walls other than the usual cheap red brick.

I may have missed something, but I didn't see a concrete vibrator to settle any of the concrete

or proper curing of the young concrete.

Sound insulation is ok, heater insulation might be better but for higher price. Land is 1000 sq.m. and building is only 200 sq.m., enough space for parking.

-or- enough space for 4 more apartment buildings
