I guess nowadays anyone with a mouth with enough to make it vocab in English and Mandarin can address themself as ID even without sense of color nor design, bottomline is creative-less. All they care is to sell at any cost, thereafter just cross fingers that the contractor the ID engage can save them. Just to share with you my experience with Zack Xu from Ideal Design (Lavendar Street). He appears to be patient, attentive, can sketch decent layout of rooms in the beginning. However when the reno start, his project management skills just went down the drain. My principle is if I hire you to be the ID, then do your job. I didn't hire an ID for me to vent my anger or to test my own memory by nagging and countless reminders on what he should do. My ID didn't manage the workers well or just didn't care hoping that we, the clients are blind and dumb, that we will except whatever the house turn out to be. My ID appears to have both of his eyes closed, pretending or simply ignorant of the unacceptable workmanship. I had to run through the list of defects again and again that I got fed up reminding him. I am a working person, I have a job to do in the office... that is why I hired an ID! otherwise I would have source out the contractors myself. These young IDs think money is easy to come by? What I spent on the reno is someone elses salary a year in SG and 3 years salary for someone in MY! With that said I wouldn't recommend Zack Xu to anyone unless your standard is below the standard. I am not an unreasonable perfectionist but just an ordinary person with normal standard.
