actually u can consider getting quote from inzen cos pricing is more reasonable. we fini our reno almost 2 mths ago wif roy. he tries to give more expensive tiles w/o asking us to top up. workmanship not bad, esp kitchen which is our fav. not much rectification required too. we went thru 20+ IDs before settling on him ultimately...

I shortlisted these IDs based on recommendations from relatives, friends and people in the forum. Budget is around $30k. My hubby is getting impatient cos most of the IDs have not reverted with any quotes after a week or two. So far we have met up with only Ideal House, I-Bridge and Baroque. Hubby is keen on I-Bridge cos they seem to be the cheapest among the 3 and also his colleague used them and is happy with the work.

We went to A&D and IntraDesign for quotes. Both were quite similar, but what was important for us was the design - Intra seems more innovative in terms of design, and their strength is carpentry work. So if you like more impressive feature walls, platforms, wardrobes / kitchen cabinets, i think Intra is value-for-money. Many find them expensive, but surprisingly their quotes to us were in the same range as A&D's - perhaps it's the stuff we are doing.

30k can do lots of stuff leh...

if you wish, can pm me for my ID's contact for a consultation... he is Frankie from Earnest Interiors...

Hi kaihauashley

I think, basically, if you want to keep your renovation cost low, don't do too many custom made stuff, they call it the carpentry work.. once you have less built in stuff, the quote at any ID firms should be quite similar, as some reno works like tiling and painting, all quite standard rate, they can only mark up on carpentry stuff.. so the next thing is to see which ID you think can communicate well with or is responsible and can come up with a design you like..

Hi,

I'm interested in Summit Design as well after reading your blog, can I ask how much did Alex quote you for the entire project?

Thanks.

hmm..how come i cannot see the ID firm that we go to...

I think i know why..coz i took the risk of using them even i know im only the ninth customer...

No wonder I was really worried in the midst of our reno...but hey...after the handover...it is way beyond

our expectation...also..they are the ones who did lots of things as compared to our other shortlisted

firms..and they give me the cheapest...the person whom i deal with is sincere and honest..so thankfully

i took that risk...and now 2 of my colleagues is using them as i recommend the firm to them...

interested?? I can recommend the firm to you...just pm and you wont be disappointed..besides no harm

getting a quote and evaluating them.. but hey...you might loose all your effort in shortlisting those 10 firms below...but worth a try....
