invigorated 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2008 Finally found time to document some of the progress for our house reno. Hope other home owners can find the tips here useful, just like how we got help from others here. Our house is a 20+ years unit and a major overhaul was required (whole unit rewiring, hacking etc), as the previous owner did almost nothing for her unit. You'll see what I mean in the coming pix. Finally confirmed with Alex on the reno, after much deliberating through 4 IDs. Was a very tiring process, all the talk and discussions after a hard day's work and having to squeeze time to view tiles, accessories. In the days to come, will also be listing things we've purchased and any good buys we've found so, stay tuned! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

invigorated 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) Hi, Can check with you, summit design is a contractor or id? From what I understand previously, they were contractors years ago (ID informed me but I can't remember exactly how many years ago), where they were named Summit Contractors or something like that. Then, there were some changes to the structure and they are now also involved in the interior design, hence Summit Design. Seem just like a normal ID firm to me after having been to a few IDs, with a proper showroom and office. Spam chop and congrates on ur new place! Layout seems very good to design. Looking forward to the pictures! Thanks, me waiting for the final 3D design from ID as wanted some changes to the choice of tiles we made. Will post it once it's ready. It's a simple layout but one thing about old houses is the ceiling is very low... Edited September 17, 2008 by invigorated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

invigorated 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) wow so fast started hacking! when u taking over the place> good luck for your reno bought ur furnishings yet? Thanks! Hee, actually got my house many moons ago (about May). Had taken our time to search for an ID we're comfortable in before finally confirming on Alex sometime early last week. Yup, Alex's pretty fast, hacking started once permit was approved. We are also hoping for works to complete by end Oct, before our wedding day in Nov. Haven't bought any furnishing, prob getting wc/basins etc from Indulge (balestier) and still shopping around for electrical stuff and furniture. Feel free to drop in any comments.
