Reno Guru

Ya..... got to be very careful with the quotation .... alot of missing items .... some hidden purposely... some forgotten.... and ultimately, someone has to pay for it .... but normally... no one wants to pay .... lol

Thanks.. i went to his t-blog ..... the house look special. I think it's a very bold move ...

i think u need to have a facebook account ... logined and u should be able to view

woah ... nice good budget to work with ... did u post the pics of your house after reno ? is there a link to view ?

Hi pokerface.... http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/PKMS-...ipe=1&__a=8 for your reference ..

poor workmanship... probably they did not get the diemensions right ..... i think the best way to rectify is to make new doors.

from what i know .... normally .... redo 2 toilets is about $7 to $8k .... if kitchen and 2 toilets should be $15-$16k so from there... u should be able to have a rough gauge ...

Hi MM and Rasfene ...... i am still waiting for my new flat ... but i m just curious to ask ..... how much u guys spent for your house reno ? i mean you ID's overall design is very much into my liking .... but i won't be prepared to wait so long to complete the reno .... but i am still curious to know the cost .. haha

noobhouse.... what i am saying is that they are no real interior designers... probably just design consultant cum coordinator.... they just advise you based on things they have seen and did so far ... they will probably help you alot on what to construct and what not to .... but the design sense is not there ....

Hi h4happy.... my friend used a msia carpenter ..... it's different .... i saw from one of the shelving that it is actually 5 layers .... they call it 5 ply .. But just take note lo.... some singapore carpenter using those no layer one ..... machiam like all the waste wood compress into one ... Just what i heard and see la ... peace

Hi froggy ......... if i were u, i would go for a customsied one since you mentioned that pricing is about the same ....... But i will got one step further to build a feature wall as well to hide the cables (extra $$). and also, customsied one allows you to really perfect it using the right diemensions / colours / materials / texture to complement your living room conditions. consider a simple, clean, suspended tv console with a sleek wall feature .......

wow ........ went to your ID's blog ........ very impressive indeed ...... but for your home reno to be delayed 2 months is a little mad... probably he can work on his coordination and planning ..

teka one looks good ah ........... somemore got sponser real madrid before ..... can la

firstly, i don't have any one to recommend to you ........ but if you are crystal clear on what u want .. it's better to look for contractors if you wanna cut cost .... and if you have no idea on what u want or u have only got a rough direction.... it's better to speak to the 2 gentlemen above my post.

my opinion on hwa li ............ i think they are very experienced contractors.... but they don't really design well

Talking about cabinets ah.... i heard that it's better to use malaysia wood ... better quality.. singapore carpenter use compressed wood heard only la ... true or not ... i not sure ......

Hello people.... Firstly, my nickname can be quite deceiving as i did not do any renovations before. Just applied for punggol BTO and heard from my friend whom is getting his flat at punggol spring that he came across an ID firm (XX image) that gave them layout plan, 3d drawings and quotation with no obligations.... But heard from other people that they don't get any 3d drawings until they engaged that particular ID. anybody has got an idea what's the standard practice ?
