Here the list of contractors/IDs that I shortlisted and decided on the first one.
Andy / X-CEL Design
My friend used him and I think the work is quite good. During the meetup, he gave a lot of suggestions and he impressed me by bringing a photo alnum of his past work. He will show me the photos when doing suggestions, so decided to use him. No regrets...
Amos / 0rangcube
Nice chap and follow up well on my case, but over my budget. However, he is still very nice to chat with me over phone and ask to look for him if other contractor screw up my reno.. Thumbs up for him.
Damian / Impress21 Design and Build
Did not make any suggestions during the meetup but within my budget, almost the same as Andy.
Henry / I.D. Note Design & Build
Never had the chance to meet up.
Darren / Plush Living
Good meetup with him but over my budget.
Edmund / DX Interior
Was the first one to meetup but Edmund look a bit blur when we told him what we want. His quote was the cheapest.
Mr Yeak / Basic Image Interior Design
He was really busy during meetup and made a few suggestions, within the budget. He was my second choice..
