Lim, thanks for your offer but I have selected my ID and am in the design stage. was so busy with work that I can hardly meet her to discuss. hope next week can come out with something. cheers

hihihi, it have been a exhaustive week for me. meeting ids, seeing furniture, lighting, sanntary wares and etc. so many things to consider when doing renovation. even if we select an id to help us we still got so much to do ourselve. but hopefully, the end result is a satisfying one as the process thou is a bit tiring, the end resuld should be pretty fulfiling. after meeting the various ids and a few for the second time, I have decided on an ID and hope my selection is right. this selection is based on gut feel as I am really very tired after meeting and this id manage to convince me how she can help me. have placed a deposit of $2000 and will meet again next week to do some measurement. I select this id is not base on price as her pricing is not the cheapest. but she manage to convince me that she is able to help me tranform this unit to a HOME and not just renovate it to new. some id/contractor i met, are able to help me as well in that, some pricing are cheaper. but when I try to compare the quotation, i think it is not fair just to compare the final figure as some quotation do not include this wheras some include that. a few contractor wanna do my business agree to whatever request I asked them, like lower the pricing of the psf of the wardrobe, kitchen cabinet. and this stance make me uncomfortable as they give me the feeling just want me to sign the contract and the rest, they will discuss on a further date. got one popular in forum one even best. see my unit and say will give me quotation in a few days time. few days pass, call him say he preparing and will send later that night. the next day, i call him, he refused to pick up my call or reply my many sms. funny huh? I had actually put him high on my list as he seems very interested in doing up my unit when viewing my unit that day. but with this type of attitude, i guess he dun deserve my business. i am still thinking how will act this way. one thing ids/contractor i met always ask me what is my budget for the reno, and i try to tell them various budget for different id/contractor, all able to do it base on my budget. why huh? do they work around our budget? I have state 80k, 100k and 120k for them. all ok. anyway back to this id i select, I have set a budget of 100k for her to work around. hopefully on our next meeting we are able to come out with some design for what we discussed. very tired already. good night everyone.

really dunno how to start this blog. guess it is NPNT? will post some pic once I have any. in the meantime, will share some info on this unit. it is on a pretty high floor, above 35. have a pretty good unblocked view but view may be blocked soon. partial seaview. what i am looking to do up my unit is to have a cosy area whereby I can relax with my family member at the roof terrace during the evening and have a bbq area for small gathering occasionally. anyone have their own BBQ at their roof top or at their patio or garden? did you utilise it as often you wish you had? my friend keep say wun use one la. use the condo one better. no need to clean up etc. but the good to have wants is more then the needs currently. will try to post some pictures when I have the time to take it. all the best everyone.

Hi Everyone, anyone have any good experience engaging id from those Expo fair? went there few days back just to speak to them and gather some ideas. seems like most design they advice are mostly recycled. any reputable firm there who are really pro in designing? not those who just say put sofa here, put table there etc etc. i need advices on why is it good to be there and not here, can be better here and not there and etc. not those standard ideas. hmmm an example, i say my dining table put here. I asked if there is any other place to better utilise the space, they did not even think and say table should be there. standard one. a few are like this. or am i demanding too much from id? if that the case, will it be better to just engage contractor? some even demand a fee just for a few 3d. I understand they need to survive, but to demand the fee upfront when I am not even impressed by their initial design? anyone can share any experience? tia

hi everyone, have received numerous pm reccomending me their ID. you know who you are. Thanks a lot and I shall get in touch with them soon. past few days were very busy with work, but i still managed to meet up a 4 id who are able to make time to come over my unit. 3 are from this forum highly reccomended list and 1 are from my friend reccomendation. of the 4, i guess only 2 are consider id as they are able to advice me on my design, the functionality of my requirement, and the costing involved. the other 2 are more like contractors. they listen to me, draft out a few layout plans and will get back to me on the quotation. base on these meetings, those contractors pricing seems lower base on verbal calculation. since I know what I wan, most prob i will engage contractor to do up my unit to save up some cost. design wise, i have ton of pictures to show them to build. I even went to mohd sultan to look through the hansgorhe range of selection, wow their dsign is simply awesome. the feel of the tap is really different from those china made tap from IMM. but to spend 3-4 times more for taps? hmmm, i really need to do some cost calculation. anyway window shopping is fun man... hope everyone have a smooth reno. cheers

hi, my theme is mostly white as well. guess it will come handy when i need some ideas. cheers

hi, thanks for the quick reply. can pm me your id contact? did you do up your whole house? how many id you went before you confirm? for the spray part, is it a messy job? am thinking of spraying the air con cover that have turn yellowish. tia

hi, i dun think it is wise to commit to such a long term rental contract. you do not know how is the economy is performing why put yourself into such a long term contract. if you can tahan 10year of rental, might as well but private? at least you are paying for yourself. and after 10 years, you are eligible to buy hdb (porvided hdb do not change the rules) good luck

any id/contractor specialise in doing the rooftop design? i mean really good in it and not those any o how type. please pm me. tia

hi, i remember going to expo walk walk and those id are like car saleman. if you ever go into any carmart and browse for cars, you will get what i mean. no offence for any id/car saleman, just that i feel uncomfortable with such sale tactics. any id reccomendation for me to get quotation? tia

hi everyone, i read with great interest those reno blog. and I guess I will just leave a footnote here first if I am able to contribute anything to my reno in spite of my busy work load. hope everyone have a smooth reno for their house.
