Hi Yumsoup, I think u can forget about HAIER LIVING because their quote is very very expensive.. my budget for reno my 4rm standard new flat is 40K exclude the furnitures and electric products and HAIRER LIVING quoted me 60K!!!!! The impression they gave me is they are high end interior designer firm and only intrested in customer who stay in condo, landed property.... My first appt with HAIRER LIVING was with "I**N" we told him our budget and also told him we are staying in hdb flat, he did a chop chop job, asking us what we like and etc then he told us he have another appt so need to go and he said he will come back to us on the 2nd appt with the quote and design, the next appt he did not turn up and he arrange his assistant to entertain us... This proves what.... We ask the assistant why he did not turn up instead, she reply us cause he is busy with another project and he hand over our project to her without my consent!!!! To me, bacis manners, at least gave us a call and inform us..... I believe u also notice not much people in forum discuss about them.. I think is mainly becos of their price and their tao tao high end designer concept... There are infact pently of interior designer firm out there for you to choose from, which can be in same standard with HAIER LIVING and also cheaper.. and most of all, they treat all customer the same no matter you are staying in condo/landed or HDB...

May i ask who is your ID?? Did your ID gave you any contract to signed? If ur ID did then there will be a clause stating the payment schedule...

Hi, Maybe you want to try to neg with Plush the pricing again???

i did the appt with them too. its for them to do your 3d drawings. otherwise if they do the 3d for you and you do not sign up with them, their effort on drawing will be wasted. its quite the norm in the industry. however, if u take up the contract straight, 3d drawing will be free. so after paying the appt fee and you like what you see, subsequently you sign up with them, they will deduct the fee from the quote. At least this is what i understand. i paid the appt fee, seen the drawings. i guess my id and us have a mutual trust. cause i have started the electrical works, discussed with the carpenter, going to start ceiling works but i haven't sign the actual contract yet! haha he is not afraid of us backing out and i dun think we have any reason to back out. if you like their designs and would like to see 3d drawings before deciding, then go ahead with the appt. the impt thing is, you got to like your designer and feel that you can communicate with him/her. [/quote Hi alisa. Thanks for the explanation. We thought so too otherwise it may be a waste to do the perspective drawings for us. Just that when we checked with our Frens using other ids they actually have the contract signed before the drawing so I was just concerned. But anyway at this point we still have quite gd feeling towards the designer that's why we decided to pay them the appt fee. Most likely will sign with them. Hi ChoCho, I also did paid for the 3D dwgs and i never regret paying. Once i sign the contract with darren, he will deduct the deposit into my lump sum contract amount. Now they are already doing up my tiles which i had also paid 15% of the lump sum contract amount. Seriously doing up the 3D is not so easy. alot of changes to be make and takes alot of time and effort. I sometimes really pity those designer for making tones of changes for the 3D dwgs.... *My mistake* cause i keep on changing this and that.. kikiki.. women.. always change their mind.. and i seriously agreed with my hubby that i am not a easy customer to deal with cause i have high expectations and ask for almost perfections. If darren promise me something and does not deliver.. i will@$#%$&%* him but everything is going almost 95% perfect so far and darren has been very patient towards this and he will always tell me.. "No worry No worry, i will get it done for you or i will think out the solutions" and he never fail me in this aspect. 10 Thumbs Up for Mr. Darren... and a word for you.. DUN DISAPPOINT ME.....IF NOT I WILL... kikikiki.. You know lah... my XIAO JIE BI QI....

Hi Puppet, I have the same case as you, Darren was hospitalis when i called him to arrange for appt, he arrange me met up with Dylan 1st but darren had already promise me that he will took over the whole project once he is back and he did fullfill his promise.. I guess there is no problem on ur side too..

Yeah.. Finally getting my key on 17 jun..... finally i can start my renovations........

Wah.. sounds bad... Now i am getting abit worried.... but now start to worried also no point cause i already sign with PL *Darren*....

Today just rec the updated 3D dwgs from Darren , i must said is very well done... BRAVO!!!!! Almost to perfect, just need to do some minor changes... Very delighted... once i get my key in mid june.. i can start my rennvation asap.. Hurray......Cant wait......

I cannot upload my personal photos on my profile.. so angry.. even after resize.. still like that.. aiyo....

I cannot sell you the quote. sorry, but i can let you know my budget is 40K and darren quoted me within my budget, i am going to renovate my whole 4floor flat and my flat is under the "EN BLOCK" scheme. My new flat is a "standard" 4rm located at queenstown... so bacisally i need to renovated the whole house, i am also doing over laying of tiles at the kitchen and toilet areas.... i have look for 5 IDs, they are space vision, haier living, *** interior, ideal house... and the one i finally short listed, PLUSH LIVING... among all these 5 IDs... IDEAL HOUSE and PLUSH LIVING is in my budget.. the rest over quote by almost 5 to 10K.... I choose Plush Living becos i am very please with darren...

Hahah.. But to me he is very gentle leh...he sound gentle and polite... very eager to get all my pro and question answer.. i totally agree with you guys regards to the contract terms.. all ID are alike.. as i feel confortable with darren and u guys mention trust is very important... i decided finally to appt him as my ID.. Wish me Luck...

Hi Hongwen37, Ya, i agree with you regards to the 5% last payment.. But after must discussion with darren, i am accpet the fact of thr contract and will now move on with the 3D and going to choose my tiles next week...
