patsy_sg 1 Report post Posted April 24, 2010 It wont be hassle to find any trade. Just that you have to prepare for any necessary coordination work and negotiate with them on the cost. cost and quality of work may be the only concern. yeah, I got some quotes from independent contractors can be cheaper overall, but since I travel for work at least 10 days a month, it's hard for me to do all the coordination myself so it was best for me to hire someone to do the coordinatioin for me. Expecially if I wanna add/remove stuff, it's easier to just speak to one person instead In all very happy with Esthetix Design, the workmanship of the tiler and carpenter is very good. The guys work for Esthetix and are not subcons, so are they are also very responsible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

patsy_sg 1 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 some comments on Esthetix.... the ID/Pm Jerome is really good, very conscientious and has a good eye for design. He will do what he can to make the house nice.. even if he has to redo things (like my kitchen tower cabinet, the laminate was horizontal instead of vertical and he had them redo it) the carpenter Ah Haw is super super super good... his handiwork is so fine and almost can't see the joints in the carpentry the electrician uncle Lim is very good also, just super grouchy! the bangla workers - CANNOT MAKE IT!!! wipe the table already i can still write my name on all the dust! overall a great experience working with them, except on the pocket!
