Thanks bro. Yup, its a condo. What about the payment terms? Is it ok? I feel like i am not retaining enough cash at the end ( 5% not much considering that my reno is only about 15K)

Why do you say that? Is this considered expensive?

Can send a photo to veritas0109@hotmail.com?

Hi all, My ID said he cannot do "gutting" for flooring. Anyone got contact for that and knows what the price is? He also quoted me $2500 for decking of balcony with "Cheng Ai" wood (140sq ft). Anyone knows if this is an alright price?

Do you do "gutting" for floor? I looking for someone who can. Also, how much do you charge for parquet flooring polishing (3 rooms)?

Hi, I recently engaged Johnson from Debbie Decor Interior? He seems quite nice and trustworthy. Any comments from you regarding your experience through the reno? <!--coloro:#4169E1--><span style="color:#4169E1"><!--/coloro--><b>Debbie Decor Interior</b> Well, as you can see, we spelt out the name of this Interior Designer, which also means that we have engaged them.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Johnson was recommended to us by our good friend who engaged him about 1.5 years ago to renovate her new place in Punggol.. Our first meeting went very well.. He was a good listener who hears what we want.. He then digests them and advises us on whether it was feasible or if there was a better way in doing it.. He gave us a proposed idea for our kitchen which none of the other IDs had thought of.. We particularly liked it as it was practical and does not compromise on the design.. In fact, we feel that it gave our kitchen a much sleeker look.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> He was also able to draw 3D drawings on blank paper of his proposed layout and that gave us a better visualization of what he meant.. Again, none of the other IDs we met did that.. On our second meeting, his quotation blew us away.. Not very, very cheap but lesser for more compared to the others.. We were initially worried about the quality as it could have been compromised due to the lower pricing but were soon assured by him after asking tons of questions.. We then visited our dear friend's home to have a look at the workmanship and was pleasantly happy with the condition of them even after 1.5 years.. In addition, we felt comfortable communicating with him and therefore decided to engage him.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> <!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> So the excitement officially begins... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
