zapped 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2009 Sis, how's your reno? Mine's almost done and I'm quite relieved that the outcome is "okay", considering that we went through a lot of problems with our interior designer. Hope to see pics of your reno and hope everything's going smoothly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope to see pics of your reno and hope everything's going smoothly. So far it's okay...I haven't uploaded the pics yet coz for this week mostly is tiling works...false ceiling for living, dining and bedrooms are completed. The lights were delivered yesterday so they will be installing it this Friday and Saturday. Next week is painting plus the laminated flooring in our living area and then the carpentry works. I am very happy with the progress and so far no major issues involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just getting the updates from my husband and my sisters... I will only go there by next week so that I can see the big difference and be amazed. What's good with them is they really make it a point to join us during our shopping spree...atleast we're sure that we are getting the right furnitures that will suit the concept. They also gave us some "freebies" like TV, Oven, Cooker, Hob, Sink from Teka. So far my experience with *** is superb! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zapped 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2009 wow, that's nice! including TV??!? Our ID also accompanied us in tile selection, bathroom accessories/lighting selection etc. , but we prefer to buy our own furnitures without her help. Some people say designers get a cut from the purchases, hence the client pays more. Dunno if it's true. How much are you paying for your reno? still under 35k?

How much are you paying for your reno? still under 35k? 31K to be exact...the TV one is my choice... For the furnitures I don't think they get a cut because I was the one who selected the shop. They just helped me to choose the colors that will match our theme.. Reno cost is 31K though my budget is 40K. So I saved a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad to hear these sentiments...I will take note of this when I visit the house next week. As a precaution, I have asked them to provide me again the final 3D so I can compare as well as the color that we have chosen. Hope everything can be settled amicably.

Hope everything can be settled amicably. final drawings given to me with the materials choosen. but when come to site with the carpenters, certain things might need to change due to mechanism and ......, hard to predict. just informed that positioning of my plc lights changed due to my hanging lights at my bedside..
