i told them a few times that we need to go back and discussion on the budget and quotation because leslie talked about meeting on sat to confirm and also to confirm asap so that can start preparations and selections staway for HO in dec. hence willy said will try his best to schedule a viewing by this week cos i emphasised that we would definitely want to check out firsthand on their workmanship. the reason why we're keen on granite is because my hb's home uses solid surface top and the condition is not very good after a few years whereas my house uses granite which is still good. -

Jcase, why did you decide on solid surface top and not granite? wow! means he told you at first the 3k only rectify the slant? Flowerie123, i have also fallen prey to the aesthetic quality of a headboard =x i took away things from my common toilet to accomodate it! but quote still less than ideal. hmm willy mention about the debit and credit notes to us as well. but did not check how the revised quotations would work if keep taking out and adding items. leslie kept pressing us to confirm this saturday/sunday. i feel like i'm not ready! -

we'd be around the same time if i sign up with them. is your HO date in dec as well? very difficult to remove from the list but so easy to want to add more and more customized features. very headache. is your quote within your budget? -

Jcase, hmm didn't think of the ghost month as he said my renovation will start end Sept to early Oct. since leslie didn't budge on yours, did he throw in freebies along the way? btw, really appreciate your quick response Flowerie123, haha i'm a stranger to whatsapp cos i don't use iphone. yes! i am also afraid of adding more and more items. especially the more designs i am exposed to, the more greedy i get and i want to tweak the features and integrate them into my own home. i think i want to change solid surface top to granite. he said would be extra around $10psf -

so means you accepted the preliminary quotation they gave you? i saw it and my heart skipped a little. u sms willy how many times? maybe send a reminder sms again? last night he scanned something and emailed me, and followed up with a sms to inform that i got mail. -

normally, how many % can we negotiate? find it very difficult to get leslie to budge on the amount! aiya so the start of the month offer is actually ongoing? it made me a little gan chiong but i told myself still need to view homes first. flowerie123, i find that willy responds pretty fast. is this the first time u are contacting CLC? -

Thanks for replying JCase Actually, we wanted to view before deciding but Leslie pressing for us to sign this week because the discount at the start of the month is only valid for this week. Either that or we wait till August to sign but he said it's tight if we want to handover in Dec because must take into consideration the preparation period. But we feel more secure committing after viewing workmanship. p/s: think your wife must be very excited about her kitchen. maybe i am like that next time also -

i guess partly we are trying to avoid taking up yet another loan so we took out or replaced some items listed in the preliminary quotation but the budget is still a little off. leslie suggested that we take out some things that are not too necessary or review design ideas that may cost more. when would you be meeting them for your quotation? however i must say, my interaction with them has been nothing short of pleasant so far. we will decide again after viewing on-site workmanship and further discussion. there was a quotation i received from a contractor (not ID) which was significantly lower than CLC but included fewer customized features.we've shortlisted the two. -

my quote is a few k off what we budgeted. difficult to negotiate. however, we like leslie's design ideas. so we're still thinking over very carefully. as a young couple, we're definitely trying to make every dollar count. we also have to take into consideration the cost of add-ons such as furniture and aircon. we requested to view a few homes to look at the workmanship (as you said, we want to be certain that we're paying for quality). ideally, one completed, and one in progress. Willy mentioned that Jcase is very nice and he will help us put forth the request. however, we're also open to rejection should it be inconvenient for him! -

Hi, i'm new to this forum and have shortlisted CLC for our 4room renovation. have met up with Leslie and Willy twice, including tonight. first time was on-site at our flat. generally comfortable with their approach. practical in helping us to meet our budget. really appreciated that they were not only on time, but also early for the appointments (especially today). we requested to view one of the recently completed homes. Willy mentioned Jcase so I think he will help us ask! just that it's still a little out of our budget. sigh. -
Hi bro, can PM me your fanco and kdk contact? left you a msg on your profile page but not sure whether it will go thru. thanks!
