Din know ID can do up a whole house for 8-9K only. So far lowest package including flooring i saw was 11k, and with really basic works without wardrobe and maybe minimal ceiling works.

hello, my first post here... I also gg to get my keys in abt 1-2mth time, just got flat at 276 jurong west, standard 5rm.

I went to imm yest n saw a few id, n most quote me in the region of 25k-30k, they said its abt that region. They told me their tiles r quality n all lah, n say price is $6 onwards blah blah, one even told me if i want parquet flooring, its more ex.

Then there was one that was v gd. I saw his portfolio, n even tho its not v stylish, the designs look v comfortable on the eye, n gives u gd feel of home. Cuz my wife n i dont realli want the hse to look too much like a showroom, n lose the cosy home feel. He is abit the ah beng style, but v nice and honest guy. He even told me tiles wise he let me go choose my own, n parquet he say is onli abit more than laminated flooring, n cheaper than homo. Also in terms of costwise, its the most competitive, and in fact he told us something if we ask him do will be more ex, so he rather we go get ourselves at certain places. Even told us where to get from.

So next week shld be gg to see him again to see wat he actually designed, and he was the first who offered to bring us to view his work at some sites. He never stress on asking us our budget, never put pressure to know how much he can make from us.

Of the other 2 i saw, 1 was very frenly n listens but price is 25k onwards. There is this other lady who from the start just tell us wat she will do, wat she had done n all, n nv really ask wat we want. N still come up to 25-30k, n refused to draw anything until we sign on. So i told her fly kite lol

The curious thing r those packages i saw like 13,888 onli, but they cover the basic things like homo flooring for dining n living rm, laminated flooring for 3 rm, kitchen cabinet, false ceiling for living rm as well as tv console n all.

I prefer to start simple, then from there i add on n see how it affects my cost/budget. Rather than they plan everything out, then u wanna cut this n that, they will pyscho you not to, n tell you price not much dif.

My sincere appologies.............they quoted me was without the tiles for the flooring cause my flat is premium flat so toilet and floors all done.

hi ckoonyin ~ no i din went to the exhibition. it will be great if you would be able to share with me the two IDs.

I went to three ID for design inspiration and quote. One of them was living arts...i prefer their kitchen design cos u know la...new flat not much window means not much sunlight also. so he come out with a design that allows my kitchen to be brighter. He quoted $29k (excluding re wiring etc) X right somemore what he quoted are very normal quality lor. dun have to do titling yet so x. anyway..i look thru his breakdown and realise alot of things are actualy not necessary..he see we gong gong ma so quote so many rubbish inside. Anyway.. i got his drawing so will wait for other id to revert on their pricing then will finalise my design and decide to outsource the jobs to different ppl to do. means seperate job. like wardrboe and kitchen get carpentry to do but follow ID deisng. I also enage another one he quotation quite ok ...only $13k. but if u wan rather simple reno..think will be much more cheaper. if u wan..i can give u his contact. I am still waiting for the last ID frrom Substances. The ID quite young...and very open. he told us he give us a quote whatever i feel x .... i can outsource that part of work to others who can quote cheaper. Eg..painting if i can cheaper pricing..then he just take out from my quote. he said he is ok one. then for furniture he will go shopping with us to buy the correct and suitable one with us. I told him my budget is not more than 15k for the whole house...with a relaxation corner etc. Once i got his quote i share with u.

O ya my unit is 659. Dunno if your layout is the same as mine. give me yr email la..so i can foward quote to u too. hahah.. my email is missy.winnie@yahoo.com.sg

hihi .. is possible for simple touch up since ours is a premium flat. what we need to do is painting, and install of lighting, kitchen cabinet and wardrobe + acid wash up at the end. If for standard 5room normal do will be like 30k.

Hi all,

I also gt a 5room premium in JW. Now waiting for second appointment. Planning to renov before CNY then slowly get the furnitures move in. Haven start sourcing for contractors( I have roughly in mind wat concept i like).But i have this qns in my mind.If I go for contractors, do i choose the material for the wardrobe n kitchen cabinet from them or i will have to source for my own?sorry if its a silly question but i really have no idea....

[ckoonyin 0]

If it's contractor....it is best to specify yourself.........cause i think if u leave it up to them...they may give you substandard one.........

But if u have a ID den should be ok........cause anything u can KBKP to him ma........and also i think he will also put a sample of the laminate along with the drawing.

Your flat is at St 93 too?
