see if u can go back to the shop to bang table and request changing of something else, then switch to songcho... their simple soapholder costs $30+ but when u hold it in your hands, it feels solid and robust one... that's y dun be tempted to buy those shiny chromed accessories at cheap prices in the showroom...一分钱一分货，便宜没好货，好货没便宜...

no harm to give a non-obligatory call to my main con for quote, AFAIK, he has a team of subcons with long interworking relationship, so won't anyhow quote prices one.

Done some photoshoots this morning with new/old comparison.... :D

Edit: colors of the living rooms, bedrooms look unusually yellow, found out the white balance used under fluorescent lighting is salah , so adjusted the colors for a much more closer match to the actual ones...

thanks again....my main contractor din provide me with 3D drawings, only simple sketches of the carpentry.....if u know what you want, you can tell them your requirements, get them do some drafting and review again...

the end result closely matches what i had in mind initially....as i had mentioned earlier, no point asking for 3D CAD drawings, cos IMHO:

- they make u feel d-am-n shoik about your new flat and make you more willing to pay for what you'll be getting...

- they may add something that may commit more $$$ to the design

- some designs look very surreal and are there to showcase the ID's works rather than your real practical needs

- color matching on the 3D renderings may be prohibitively expensive to implement and hence challenging

- lightings on 3D drawing show ideal illumination, very difficult to match in the final output

- physical limitations & inherent defects of the flat prevents certain things to be done on paper, ie, aircon piping how to core thru structural columns, etc.... so got to be realistic and manage your expectations well

- for my case, it's a 3rm flat, not much pattern and creative juices to cook up with... RT here got lots of design for reference

last heard my contractor have decided to join the competitive crowd of ID to provide 3D drawings....
