reuben82 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2010 Yesterday meetup with Plush Living is very very very fruitful!!! I will say 90% going to sign up with them!!! hahahahaha.... We talked alot, drilled into the quotation, parts, design, ceiling works......And he told me the next meetup, he will bring us select tiles first before we even signup with them! Impressive! hahahaha....He is saying the tiles usually cost the most and if we can select first, he can quote correctly into it and end of the day, you won't have surprise on final The problem right now is my wife got another friend (who is the boss of Flying Ideas ID). She still hold back with Plush Living as she wanted to see what her friend can offer her. To her, she prefer to go with her friend rather than use the ID which we don't really know who he is (Plush Living). Anyway, we will see how. I want to finalize my ID before 31/5......Want to end my nightmare ASAP!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samgalz 2 Report post Posted May 12, 2010 yeah reuben. i agree with marshmallow. never mix business with friendship. We had bad experience before now guai liao. someone u dunno can scold them and make sure they give u quality. friends ah....got to give face or risk jepodizing the relationship. whatever they charge u extra, u cannot really complain. dun lah....since u like plush and i think it's within ur budget then ok lah...go with plush.

reuben82 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2010 Lol...actually, that's what I'm saying as well. Get a friend to do reno, well, you can't scold, alot of things you need to close 1 eye open 1 eye....moreover, she is my wife student parent....even more headache!!! lol....The problem is they really make their house very nice. So, my wife can't resist to ask them to give a quote. Sigh...see how the things move on... Anyway, this saturday already make an appointment with CLC to meetup with them inside their office. Going to drill them as well. lol....I think I'm not going to meetup with Ideal House anymore. Reason, that designer that I engaged is nice and experienced, but he is not the boss....lol....I prefer negotiate with boss level as a lot of things they can make decision fast and instantly tell you. They know exactly where is their budget and how much they can reduce for you. This is the benefit. So, conclusion....Plush, CLC or my wife's friend. lol.....Saturday CLC, next tuesday friend... BTW, this few days I'm quite free. Anyone got recommendation for me to go see see look look? Plan to visit some furniture mall to do some window shopping...especially on the Sofa, dining table and bedframe. Any good places? One more thing, for the cinema sound system thing, where should I go again ak? Got address or any sales person to recommend (I think wcseow can answer me this...hehehehe).

connytan83 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2010 Thank you! Will go ask him/her on this. Thank you for the advice! Shower kerb FOC. Good! Yeah, the paint brand i never hear before. Definitely need to change that. I did ask for electrical rewiring. I think he forget to quote me. The cabinets price is too cheap? I haven't make the comparison. Maybe need to ask more when come into details with him later. Did notice the solid top pricing. I think I will take everyone advice either go for granite or the LG SGD100 psft type. lol.... And for the paint, 100% going for either dulux or nippon! This is the main point. Post quotation, gather advises, :fire: :fire: back the ID! hahahaha....Good thing about RT! And hopefully, other newbies (like me) can have some reference on the Quotation as I didn't see much people posting quotation here. Mostly starting their blog after decided which ID to go for etc. I am way too kiasu.....lol.. Hi All, I've met up with Plush Living Darren, got the quote from him and he even provided me the 2D dwgs.. Was impress by his expertise. I wanted to appt him as my ID but I've after reading the contract terms, i dun like it.... So now having a big headache if i still want to sign up with him now. I've gaven some comments back to him regarding the unfriendly contract but he had yet get back to me... sure see how it goes... I would like to seek advice from people who had their house done up by Plush Living. All comments and advice are welcome.. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
