After reading the forum on other's renovation blog, finally decided to start one of my own to share my renovation journey. my wife and i are gonna renovate our new home, a 4rm resale in serangoon north.. after searching and reading up the forums, finally decided to sign with DeFONG interior design because the price falls within our budget and meet our expectation.. renovation will start on the 19th Feb and hopefully everything turns out well... have heard some good and bad remarks abt the company.. but as there were more good remarks.. we decided to go ahead let Kevin Tan(our contractor)do the renovation for us. I will be doing the dismantling of built in wardrobes and shelves myself from 15th feb (动土日) to save some cost... Even after dismantle, I am still having headache where and how I can throw away the items. Kevin is charging per item and we cannot use the debris bin to throw the items away. Due to our budget constrain, I have to find ways to throw the items away myself... will upload pictures and my floorplan soon... one very important thing to note, if any bros ever want to do renovation in future, remember to list down everything which you want down to the simpliest detail to avoid incurring additional charges. Dont sign with the contractor until u have finalized your renovation ideas or be prepared to pay the penalty fees for cancellation of the items which u have agreed and signed for. everything must be black and white. dont assume people will do stuffs for you just because u think it's not a big issue. u might be slapped back with additional charges which is not so pleasant. (learnt it the hard way) they might be responsible for the stuffs they do, but when it comes to $$.. there is no friendship...
