haha. maybe we should propose to Colours to tk pic of "work in progress" pic and "completed project" pic and post them up for ppl interested to see. maybe i should sell them my idea!

""jus bought an exec mans. still looking for a reasonable renovation to do up my house. when to chew but the quote was **** high. about 70k for toilet, kitchen, living rm, balcony/shelter, rewiring, painting. 70k shack lah... "" go look for other IDs to compare prices and quality given la... there are alot of Gd ID recommended by ppl, but also gt alot fake ID posting here. i think business quite bad for those ppl then they engage ppl to keep promoting their company! hahaha

omg... why are there so much negative comments about them???

getting contractor to do up your house will definitly be less costly as compare to engaging IDs. Difference between contractor n ID i believe is Contractor - do what you ask for, not much advise given - dun hv after sales serivce - cheap - have to coordinate the project yourself - example if carpentry work screw up, they will just say its ur fault as they only do what they are told (this experience is gain after my uncle engage a contractor, dunno if apply to all) ID - some give ridiculous pricing - Provide u with 3d so that u can visualise the outcome - coordinate your project - anything wrong you can go after them - if carpentry work screw up, they will bear all cost n redo till you satisfied one more thing... i realise that those thread with company names are usually those who have past clients or existing one who are renovating with them... treads like "ID or contractor to recommend" i suspect that there are a numbers of ID pretending as past client and recommending their own company! Are business that bad that u need to do this??? To those ID pretending as client, IF your track records are clean, start a tread with your company name and ask for feedback... this way, we can better tell the reputation of the ID company just my 2cent of thoughts

Hi Jcase, possible for us to visit your place too?? or maybe u could post pic so that we all can see! thanks alot in advance!

Wow another client with colours. Yknpearl, what kind of design are you looking at? When is Ur place is tenanted till? i am also looking for design n ID nw, my hse will be ready only in 2014! Haha. I super kiasu! Oh willy is e sales guy for u too? How is he? My friend said he's very good! Haha. Oh ya i think they mention gd stuff abt Jeremy too. What i can say of colours after doing some research and hearsay is that their team are different from other IDs. Think i should enage them when my hse is ready! Yknpearl, do post pics of ur unit when you start ur reno ok, i believe it will benfit those who wish to enage colours. Thank you!!!

I think Willy is one of their sales person. Wonder how many sales peeson do they have?! JCase, post pic of ur project and let us see! Haha

i think colours had been around for quite a while and they also give "lifetime warranty" to their project. my fren signed their contract with them too. the sales guy if i not wrong was Willy. Very nice guy and was always willing to share his ideas. my fren told me that there is once, they requested to meet him at 11pm (due to working late) to discuss about their quote! i think most of those sales person will turn u down but Willy turn up n wait till 11.30pm as they were late!! no complain and even smiling!! i think the boss must be very lucky to have staff like this!! poor chap!! haha eventually my frens also sign with colours because they too felt most comfortable with, reasonable price and most importantly is that communication was never a prob!

its quite hard to look for gd contractor as most of them only do what they are told and seldom advising you on the disadvantages that ur design might bring. With a little bit of $, i felt that getting a ID would be more adviseable as you can chase after then in future if there is any problem. (heard there is a ID which give "life time warranty" to their projects) *just my 2cents of advise* its good to invest in a gd lighting as it will be part of the attraction when people come to your place. Most of these lighting are usually warm lighting (yellow). maybe you can choose to do a L box to install cove lighting and downlights to use them during normal day.

agreed with collins. if you require cove lighting to be install, i believe it need as least 150mm thick. actually if you are afraif that the whole house ceiling will look very look, u might wanna do up L-box rather than a false ceiling at so many areas! *just my 2cents of advise*

i would go for a black feature wall. i believe with the colour combination the tv console will definitly stand out

laminate feature wall is really quite outdated already. my frens was saying their ID recommend them to use cushion as feature wall backing and the drawing turns out quite nice! maybe u can consider! haha.

yeah alot of restriction with the bomb shelter... wat a waste of usable space

if u need any recommedation, just let me know, can pm u some good contacts

actually you can get those id firms to show you their previous project and then move on from there. but are u just doing a "Feature wall, Tv console with 2 sided display cabinet" and nothing else??

agreed with april_luv... my previous house had limited space and we feel so squeeze everytime we had dinner!!! hardly can move around!!

what kind of theme do u intend to do???

pls check properly as some wall deco or stickers will peel off from the door after some time... ever tot of asking someone to paint a painting over the wall? my aunt did that and she able to achieve a nice result!

ur link is down

wow sounds like a big project... but i think its way within your budget! do source around this forum, gt alot of recommanded IDs

u gt a pm
