Hi all, just like to share my experience when sourcing for quotation from the following iD firms:
- A-Win
Basically is a contractor company with not much design input. Very brief quotation and not cheap.
- U-Home
Recommended by friend. One of our 3 short-listed companies. A friendly and sincere guy with practical experience. Able to point out problems which our design might face in view of the layout. Reasonable quotation.
- Fuse Concept
Decline our request to meetup to discuss our needs. Send my floorplan and items we intended to do to him via email instead. Get back to us only after 1 month. Requested him to send the quotation to us first via email but to-date still have not received.
- IntraDesign
One of our 3 short-listed companies. Wow-ed by the design drawings which they showed us on our 2nd visit. No breakdown for quotation but all items are listed in details and overall price is reasonable (esp impressed by the quality of finishes they provide).
- Ideal House
Approached with high expectation due to positive feedback from forum. Disappointed at the ID assigned to us who is extremely young and inexperience. During our discussion, the ID did not take note of the specific things we want. The result - the quotation is a mess, grossly over-budget with things we did not ask for.
- ***
First impression quite good. However, ID went overseas during our 2nd appointment without informing us. Can't get through him on his phone the night before the appointment. Terribly late when we did meet up at our new flat to discuss. Mentioned going to the wrong address etc. Quotation on the high side.
- Unimax
ID appears very arrogant. Inflexible in adapting the design to our practical need. To date, we have not received their quotation. Guess they can't be bother about small fishes like us...
- Plush Living
So far our experience with them is good. Lots of sharing of designs and ideas during 1st and 2nd meetings. Reasonable quotation. Chosen as our ID. Seems to have a good balance between design input and practical experience.
- Earnest
Patient and friendly sales. Not pushy. Less design input. Quotation not cheap.
- .
Sincere and efficient iD. Appear a bit pushy. Quotation does not include price of tiles. Difficult to do comparison with other iD firms.
- Inner View
After 1st meeting, to-date we have not received the quotation. Staffs appear to be quite slack in the office.
- *****
During the meeting, ID has mentioned their prices will be on the high side. To date, we have not received their quotation so I guess they are not interested.
