Normally the ID will bare the cost for the design and also some even provide you with a 3D drawing Free.

True, Cheap does not mean good. Always check on the material they provide. The last time when i renovate my home, I got a few quote and compare and found out that although both item are identical eg. wrought iron gate, one ID quoted $380 and another ID quote $580 but what the different in price and when i check with both IDs. tOnly then I know the more expensive ID provide Anti rust coating of my gate while the other don't. See what i mean..

Can PM me the ID

As long both the ID and my wife can click and i'm

Where got ppl use mama lemon They should provide the machine polish free for you. That's not the way to do it. Which ID is it? can avoid them next time

Just scout around, be it IDs or contractors.

OIC

But from what I know is that when you engage an IDs he/she will be the one who engage sub-cons to do all the reno work. As for the licence holder he only apply renovation permit for the IDs and charge a min. sum thus do not go to jobs sites. So when the IDs he or she engage the sub-cons might not be a registered contractor. am i right?

I think if a ID who does not have any Licence should not be permitted to do any renovation for any HDB house. The problem is that the Licence contractor who's applying permit for the Un-Licence ID is not doing the renovation work at all. Cause the deal is between the owner and the un-licence IDs. I think HDB does not permit this act as well. Otherwise HDB wouldn't have publish the list of Licence contractors in their website

Hi Yenzy, It's safer to use someone or company who's registered with HDB. Cause hacking or certain reno will require to apply for permit. Likewise for my ID, when we ask to hack off our study room, she says that she'll need to apply for a HDB permit before any hacking to be carry out. though my ID is a female, me and my wife really takes our hats off to her.

Totally agreed. My ID is a female also and she know what my wife actually wants. After all the renovation, me and my wife very happy with her works. Her company is also registered with HDB and I've no worries handing the reno over to her.

My ID payment mode is 10% upon signing contract, 2nd payment is 40% when material arrive and started working , 3rd payment is when almost done and carpentry started working which is close to completion is 40% and last payment upon completion is 10%. I find this quite reasonable cause you pay according to the work done and you can see it for yourself. As far as i know my ID projects are mainly referral customers, Think they are good and that why they have so many referral customers.

This kind of problem always happened. As for me, I'll never choose the cheapest quote but a reasonable one, most important is you are able to click with the person you are dealing with. luckily my ID is someone who's able to give me lots of ideals and the service is good.

I'm new to this forum and after reading all these posts, I feel sorry for those who had done the reno. Should anyone require an ID you can try contact me and i'll forward someone reliable contact to you.
