We din spend alot of times looking into many ID firms. Only a few well-recommended by forumers and other web. It is tough to compare... To choose a good ID with good workmanship but need to work on a tight budget or to choose the lowest quotation and ignore the fact that workmanship is not up to our expectation (Individuals may have different views in terms of good workmanship and poor)... But its certain that both of us would demand any firm to provide the best quality....
Finally, we chose I-Deal House and our ID-in-charge is Johnny. Though price is not the lowest, but as compared to the more reputable ID firms, their price still fall under the reasonable range.
Johnny is recommended by one of the forumers here. And we have been to her place to check on its workmanship. True enuff, as wat she has written here, their workmanship is able to meet our stringent expectations.
Anyway, cost of renovation is still within our budget of 40K. Hence, we agreed to sign with Johnny considering that there should be no hidden cost.
The renovation was scheduled to start on 9Jun. We took some before photos as per below:-
Dining Room to be linked to an open concept kitchen
Living Room with 7ft TV console and 12ft (4") elevated platform
Kitchen to be hacked and become open concept style
Common Toilet
