Rekatone.com aims for REXDA to become an international platform that transforms dreamers into pioneers, concepts into reality, recognizes outstanding design works, and redefines possibilities. The organizers call on all sectors to cherish the spirit of design, the power of imagination, vibrant creativity, and vision. In his speech, YB Mohd Najwan revealed that there are currently about 50,000 renovation companies and contractors in Malaysia. However, the industry faces significant challenges, with approximately 1,200 renovation fraud cases reported in 2023, affecting around 1,500 victims and resulting in losses of RM 50 million.

He emphasized that ensuring transparency and accountability in the industry is a collective responsibility. He expressed relief at the establishment of rekatone.com, believing that its goal is to assist consumers, especially property owners, in transacting with honest contractors to ensure they receive quality services at fair prices, thereby reducing the occurrence of renovation fraud cases. YB Mohd Najwan called on designers, architects, and industry professionals to continue providing high-quality, innovative, and ethical services to create a healthy and integrity-driven ecosystem for Malaysia’s design and renovation industry.

In his address, Jacky Chuah , founder and CEO of rekatone.com, stated that receiving the support of YB Mohd Najwan and various sectors while promoting REXDA is not only a significant encouragement but also indicates that everyone shares rekatone.com’s commitment to the development of the interior design and architecture fields.

“As part of rekatone.com’s mission, we aim to help and protect the rights of property owners while enhancing the reputation and reliability of interior design professionals to provide high-quality, time-efficient, and value-for-money services, especially in a society currently filled with fraudulent activities.”

Furthermore, Dr. Daniele Gambero, President of the Malaysia Proptech Association and chair person of the REXDA judging panel, remarked that the digital solutions provided by rekatone.com are transforming project management and renovation processes. He pointed out that these solutions prioritize transparency and trust, ensuring that all parties involved in renovation projects can collaborate closely and confidently.

“Rekatone.com’s platform demonstrates how technology can simplify processes, reduce inefficiencies, and foster closer relationships among stakeholders.” He stated, “Imagine a renovation project where every detail is meticulously tracked and managed through a digital platform. From initial planning to final execution, each step is transparent and accessible to all participants. This level of transparency not only builds trust but also ensures accountability. Contractors, consumers, and suppliers can communicate in real-time, promptly addressing issues and avoiding costly delays, making it easier to deliver projects on time and within budget.”
