wcseow 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2010 My T-blog real quiet leh, but think no choice since I not much update at this point. lol..I contribute some... did u consider Intradesign?...my experience with them is good. However, the way they quote as in one lump sum instead of breakdown do not go down well with some ppl. If u can accept that, u may want to consider them......try to get Dave or Angeline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont worry lah, make a few more comparison and choose the one u most comfortable with. Probably like wat u said, designer vs contractor? But isnt DX interior suppose to be a ID? Unless u really want to put your house totally to a designer, which is like mine, alot of things I am not able to fight, coz his idea is always the best in his designing sense, then u should opt for the 2nd one. Its really like my house has became his house. haha The good point is I dont need to worry so much, just need to worry if can adapt. keke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joseeng 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2010 ya lor, on the deciding stage. My signature tells all Anyway, an update on the ppl I met so far... CLC - Met Leslie and Jeremy on Monday 22/3, find he quite nice. He gave a few suggestions and told me my ideal kitchen layout that I wanted (L-shaped) cannot be done Sent me the revised quote on 25/3, find it a little over my initial budget in mind and finds weird that he keep pushing me to sign up before 5/4. Discuss and agree with Hubby to meet a few more before making a "informed" decision. We dun wan to regret any decision later on. DX Interiors - Met Edmund 25/3, pretty nice guy who is kind enough to meet me on a last min. Gives us the impression that he is a very sincere and honest guy. Went through the list with him and he offered a few suggestions which we find viable. He said L-shaped kitchen is do-able provided I can accept a single bowl sink which is fine for me. He stressed that all layout will only be able to confirm by site inspection which I can understand. He is not pushy and even suggested we look for direct to save cost for some items. He will be sending me the quote on 31/3 and I shall see if it fits my budget. Both hubby and I are leaning more towards Edmund at this moment of time as we are both very comfortable with him and like him alot. One thing I like very much about Edmund is that he will offer alternative suggestions to our ideas as compared to Leslie making us adapt to his suggestion. I think that's the difference between a designer and contractor ba! Still price decides all so we shall see how. Will be meeting up Jason of Freshlook on Monday and is trying to find a day to meet Thomas of Ken Home and Edmund of Adecor....Siong leh hope can conclude "THE ONE" asap so that I can think of other things. Also dun wan to keep running around and throwing my kid to my MIL to care...sibei pai sey... edmund from a-decor is my contractor, so far so good...you can also consider Henry from Impress21 (nice guy with competitive quote). ultimately it still boils down to the chemistry between you and the contractor/ID. gd luck to your hunting.

samgalz 2 Report post Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) haha thanks guys for the noise. I dun think I will add in more candidate, with current bunch already find hard to squeeze time to meet and discuss cos hubby work time is erratic. Already I still have some on hand which I did not contact for quote so I will just stick to the few which already replied and going into discussion mode. like wcseow say, see too many also confuse liao. Edmund DX interior says he is contractor who provide 3D. He dun like to be label as designer. He will understand your needs and habbits and from there do suggestions for you to consider, which is what I like cos ultimately the house will be used by us not the ID. So am thinking should I adapt to the house or let the house be designed to adapt to us! In the end, Edmund also agree price plays an important part. He wants us to take a look at his quote when he send over and decide if we want him. He mentioned he can understand that if his price is over other competitors he also dun wan us to take him so pretty hopeful at this moment of time.
