Hey Mimi, i did up 600x600mm homogenous tiles for my whole house too, though Kenneth had pre-informed me that in the case of laying 600x600mm tiles for kitchen, when during washing you need to use the mop, cause the flow of water would be affected, but as i don't use splashing of water when cleaning my kitchen as i seldom cook, it was fine, love the modern look of my home too!!!

I will be going down to Ideal design tml..

My ID is Johnson. Gives good advice and ideas.. Awaiting his amended 3D plans.

Do anyone know who is Ideal Design boss?

I'm quite disappointed with their ID that not proactive to contact owner to follow up.

oh wad happened? have you signed with them already?

oh wad happened? have you signed with them already?

Yes, signed with them and already start work.

So next time look for ID, dun look for famous 1, they too busy, no time to follow up, that's why owner will feel they not responsible.

Very disappointed. Now hopefully the turn out will be ok, not keep high hope.

i'm sorry to hear that. may i know which stage is your reno at now?

Any matter? Start from after 1st payment, we already regret and found that they are too busy, we have to keep follow up and keep asking them this and that.

We are paying the money for ID to help us settle, not ourself.

As an ID should give you idea on what the design of your house, not you find your info and tell them.

They are too ks to bear responsibility, that's why they will ask you what you like, then after you choose, you ask them ok or not? the answer is as long as you like, we do it for you.

Like that, i rather find a contractor instead of ID.

oh.. I'm actually considering them for my reno...:-(

Hi all,

I have just confirmed my new house reno with them, after hunting up & down for ID's to do up my house. The ID whom attend to me is responsive, and has suggested some useful ways to keep the costs within my budget. So far service is good, awaiting for my 3D drawing to be done up soon.

I guess there is no perfect ID, bound to have hiccups here and there, what we can hope for is that they are kept to a minimum. I think we should have a decision by this weekend.. So exciting! :-)

our place is currently being done up by ideal design studio too... i agree with moomoo88, that there r no perfect IDs, but then, in all fairness, there r no perfect customers too

being 1st time owners, and naturally, 1st time house proud owners, most of us would expect a lot out of the reno, and the ID - we were no exceptions.

when reno 1st started, we would jump @ every thing that didn't seem to be in accordance to what we wanted.

in all honesty, i guess we did give our ID a pretty rough time, but then, he did give us some anxiety attacks along the way too, kek

Beany0811, i guess you are one lucky customer whom had engaged a good ID from Ideal Design. I'm glad your reno is sailing smoothly and most importantly, both of you have good feelings for your ID.

Rapport between ID and yourself is really important. Sigh... not all IDs in this firm are as good and first impression is not always accurate... i'm just an unlucky customer of an idiotic ID from this firm.

as the reno progressed, we realised that things did move, stuff did get completed on time. our ID has delivered what he promised too.

i guess its all a matter of getting used to each other's working style, and having realistic expectations of the deliverables.

for us, a lot hinges on the fact that our ID promised us that @ the end of the day, he would hand over the house to us just the way we want it to, so its a matter of trust, and give and take on both sides.

now that we're into the final stages of our reno, would say that in retrospect, our ID did do a pretty good job, tho' the hubby did have to give him a few pushes @ the beginning.

along the way, changes had to be made to some of the design aspects, and he would send us perspectives of the changes, so we could better understand what had to be done. requests that we have made along the way, like additional lighting points, changes to certain areas, he would also try to talk to his pp and accomodate our changes

our scheduled handover is about a week and a half away... we're waiting eagerly to see the final result

so far, workmanship for the carpentry is good pretty happy so far

Can PM me who is your ID in charge? Thanks.

beany0811, does your kitchen cabinet come with anti-slam? I find that their quotation for the kitchen cabinet on a higher side, so am wondering if it does come with anti-slam, if so, i dont mind paying the price :-)
