any idea........ if i wanna look for id.......... i just bring my floor plan and walk into any id shop?

maybe do some homework first by reading through the forum thread, and get some reno idea... most important, read the experience of forummer, and from there shortlist some IDs to start with... floor plan like yours is good enough for ID to quote and design :)

hihi~ welcome and congratz on getting a good value unit!

u can jus bring your floorplan to any id shop and ask for ideas and quotation..

but if u already know wat u want, u can tell e id straight away and get them to give u a quote..

like that, u will be able to compare the pricing easily without much variation.. :D

im gonna collect my keys in 2wks time hopefully, my ID is from chew interior which is just down the road. they are having GSS now with quite good discount. i was there last nite to see 3D drawings and will go down again next wk to finalise so that they can start work once i got my keys.

bring your floorplan to any ID and ask for quotes. i only visited 4, and i decided to let chew do as they know what i want!!!

btw yours is a resale, am sure the owner has done quite a fair bit. mine is new, have to do all from scratch!!!

pm me if you wan the ID contact. you can come my place to see if you want when the reno starts.....anyway i believe you already have an idea what u wanna do with tons of ideas from here. set yourself a budget and a theme and you will sail very smooth from there. remember, some ID gives u ideas and advise you what to do or not to do, some will do according to what you want. choose wisely pal.

after a few days of finding ID......... i decide that maybe i do not need an ID anymore.....=)

becos my apartment is small, every ID is saying the same thing about design.......... and i can say some doesn't seem

sincere to do my business becos im only doing the living and master room.

but there's one particular company in IMM really shocked me. I can say its a very famous company, and the lady who attended to me is a middle age lady who sounds very yaya......... and of course.... very ridiculous price. just to share.... she quoted me the changing of fabric of my bedrest is $1020. i shall show the pictures later....... and there's many many more other shocking figures.... =(

May I ask, is the company name W*** and the lady S***, who is a senior designer? I encountered the same at IMM some months back, she was quoting some $57K for my 5rm reno while others are quoting around $20+ to $30K+.
