Hi! My name is Bjørn Hellesylt and I am the founder of SingTham. I came up with the idea for SingTham because of the struggle I have had many times trying to find a reliable worker to fix something at my house. I always had to ask some friends or neighbors if they knew anyone that could fix the roof or lay tiles on my floor. Somehow we always found some, but it wasn’t easy. And unfortunately, too many times I experienced that the job was not very well done or maybe they had got most of the payment already and did not bother to come back and fix the last small items. But also simple tasks like getting someone to clean the aircon or do a yearly house cleaning was not always easy to find.

So by getting a quotation through SingTham where you can see ratings of the provider and comments from previous customers, you get a much better idea of who you are dealing with. You can then compare prices, their description of how they will solve the job for you and see their rating before you choose the provider. In addition, the agreement includes standard terms of payment with 40% upfront and the final 60% upon completion of the job. This makes everything clear and transparent. On top of that, a provider knows he will have to do a good job to get a good rating, so he would stretch further to complete the job properly. After all, having a good rating, enables the provider to charge a slightly higher price. Wouldn’t you pay more if you knew the people doing the job has a good reputation?

For connecting the customer and the provider we charge a transaction fee of 10% of the agreed quoted price. The price is added on top of the price from the provider, so they will get the amount they asked for.
