Hi Everybody, I am a new home owner of a 5 room premium bto in yishun. I and my wife had engaged the services of Living Art and Design. We are very happy with the way the house has turned up. Thomas(Id) like what some of u had posted, is definately a easy going guy and is willing to make changes without a fuss. When we first engaged him, we told Thomas we do not want a rushed job and that we were willing for him n his crew to take thier time to do it(i was lucky coz i was still staying with my in laws and this may not apply to some house owners). coming from a field where my job involves overseeing renovations for shop units , i had many bad situations when contractors actually are rushed to complete the job resulting in many defects. Thomas pricing is also reasonable. I and wife intially took up a more "renowned Id " but his pricing of 60k was really above my budjet. With the same concept in mind we took up Thomas, whom slashed the price by 20k and still did not comprimise quantity or quality infact he added more ideas. You can check his fb account for my reno photoS(im a newbie n still figuring out how to attach my pics here).Many of my frens whom have renovated their houses often advised us that we gotta keep pushing the id n his workers. I took a different approach, instead, i and wife took turns to visit our house that was undergoing reno. We made it a point to greet these workers and buy for them drinks or lunch whenever we can. Yes i paid more than 40k for the reno but end of the day we were also concerned for the morale of the contractos. End of the day its in the hands of these contractors whom r gonna turn your house to the dream home tat you wanted. Thomas uses Malaysian Chinese contractors..so it was easy for my wife n me to converse in broken malay or english to resolve certain issues whilst they were renovating. Despite telling Thomas to take his time to complete..i must say the chap completed the whole house in a matter of two months with little defects(which was immediately rectified). I highly recommend this ID. He is not like the sob stories of ids whom ive heard even ran away whilst renovating the house or gave a half past six renovated house with alot of issues. Once i figure out how to post the photos.we will gladly share with u on this thread
