Hi I would like to bring to all forumers whose house is going to be done up by Space n Living. Think think think a million before doing so!!

I have signed up with this manager named 'StevenTan'.

He has promised lots of things & have showed to me & my husband a lot of his so call 3D designs saying was his past works. He even intro himself as a senior manager & assured us on his years of experiences. However, after we signed up with him , we realized he actually short-changed us on a lot of the materials & dimensions. Don't even want to mentioned about his shown designs as a lot didn't turn out to be what he said & promised. We even found out from his carpenters & other workers that there are some other customers who also faced of similar problems with him. He doesn't reply to emails on changes, doesn't answer his calls when you press him for infos & no proper date schedules. As my husband & I were offshore & we thought we had went through thorough discussions times after times with all details & materials chosen . We even have to emailed

Him & remind him on a lot of things , giving all nesscessary dimension specs of items we bought . We even called him to check on status a number of times. He told us not to worry & promised us a lot but Did not fulfilled. He screwed up on wrong dimensions of his carpentry ended up with lots & lots of unnesscessary changes . Super bad workmanships on our expensive tiles.

screwed Real Big TIMES of our Reno more than 7months & He dared kept chasing for payments & even wanted in cash payments & he even wanted 90% payments after delivery of their carpentry works. My husband was so pissed & quarreled with him... He even nearly wanted to fight my husband in our house & we had to called for police & the security guard to report him & chased him out. Because of our Reno, my husband & I had a few heated arguments. After months of suffering with this 'crook' , we even have to prepared to bring it Legal before they eventually settled our house reno in a sub-standard move-in condition.

Coincidentally, about a months plus later, I actually came to know from 1 of my friend's parents house who faced a very unpleasant experience with Space n Living in IMM.

And it is this same gangster 'STEVEN TAN', heard was similar dimensions & materials short-changing & overly charged. Luckily before their Reno could even go further after some dismantling, her dad actually had a heated argument with Steven & even stormed into their showroom & managed to pulled out their half-payments deposit over the unsatisfied explanations.

This man Steven TAN is a super sly CHEAT & Crook who bully on the innocence . Beware!!!

i agree it is very important to see completed works. my id bought me to a few and even showed me showflats. they were the ones that did the showflats!!

i was really impressed, more so when they have their own factory. very good quality control.

i had a painless and smooth reno.

Can share pics?

Details of quote etc as well since yr id so perfect :)

i did not keep the quote, but i know their prices are not the cheapest.

we spent 65k for the reno, excluding appliances. they were about $3-4k more expensive.

i decided to go with them as it was recommended by my friend. and after seeing my friend's reno and showflats done by them.

they brought me to Orchard Scotts showflats.... those were awesome... but i do not have so much money to spend on my reno :)

the first two pictures are my friend's house in joo chiat

my friend recommended her ID to me. i just met her, susan from MDS interiors. have anyone used their service before?

yes, i have used MDS but was serviced by Mark, the design director. overall good just that prices are a bit more ex. but quality is really good and he pays close attention to my job. :D

just wondering....is it necessary for the ID firm to get registered to HDB?

if a ID firm did not register, what does it indicate? is it "safe" to use one that has not registered?
