Hi Red devil, Coffee-O et al,

I just managed to go through at least 80% of your reno journeys . It was certainly a joy to watch its transformation. I recently also purchased a Mansionette in Tampines (with the exact layout) Perhaps we could be neighbours too!

Hi Zandramas welcome welcome

Great ! which part of tampines you've bought ?

Anyhow, Im sure by the time you read this, some of your houses like Red Devil's must be already in the final stages of completion. and some of you have the exciting part of getting it started. Congrats!

Yup red_devil's place is in the final stage whereas mine is starting soon.

-I noticed your initial quote was 60k? Can I ask what was the total that you've spent (excluding the furnishings e.g TVs, kitchen hoods,beds etc?)

60k will be the inital quote i received but i'm sure there will be additional VO since there are some stuff which I've wanted to add in mind

- Did you have to tell Jason specifically what you wanted or was he able to provide another perspective to your ideas?

It's best if you could inform him how you wanted to do up your house. At the initial quote it does not necessarily be specific, just inform him which area need to be done will do.

-If its convenient, could you send me a copy of your quote for my reference? and Jason's number?

Sure no prob. Please PM me your email address and I will email my quote to you

Eh ? shouldnt they solved this kind of problem for you ?

where got aircon will leak becos of their coolness de ?

it doesnt make sense wor, it sound as if they're trying to cover their backside by saying this so that customer will not blame them if they did not fix it properly. moreover why tell us after we bought it and not before we bought it leh ?

yup yup i understand moreover 800+ is consider newer place which is nearer to central so i'm sure the owner will be asking higher price

moreover based on the current market, everyone is asking for higher cov le so bo pian

i asked him if leak water how? he said only can cover up the leakage, cos in the past.. can do something below the compressor to hold the water.. but because the dengue mosquitos so cannot do it now..

as for the leakage problem.. he said.. don't set the aircon to high.. just use medium.. with 24-25 degrees.. like tat should be no problem..

Yup. However, unlike most who do feature wall. Mine is a TV console sitting on the floor till the end of the false parition. Therefore, we didn't shift the location.

I have reading a lot of the reviews on Jason and am certainly impressed with his professionalism and dedication.

I hope you can help with a few quick qns ;

Husband and I are still searching for an ID and so far, it's been tough luck , One of them ( a big ID firm), over promise and in the end ,even the simplest stuff like drawings were very disappointing. All the specifics i gave, the requests I made were omitted and the budget I set was not even taken in to consideration. It was effingly annoying!

Anyhow, I do hope to hear from you guys ,(sounds like everyone here's really helpful!)

Thanks a lot !

Cheers,

Hi Zandramas,

congrat! You have to tell Jason specifically your requirements. Otherwise, he will do it based on his experience. However, design is always very subjective. So perhaps, u might need to do some homework first and set a theme for your house if you decide to engage Jason or any contractors. If u engage a contractor, we are basically working directly with him. There isn't any more middleman..(unless u are engaging ID firm).. So a lot of decision making lies in you...from choosing color....matching the tiles...and others.... So basically, u will become the ID instead...giving instruction to the contractor.
