Tanhc 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 Hi eugene,I was wondering if ArtistRoom brought you to specific places for tile choosing or furniture selection? Do they get a better price ? Also, do they settle the aircon stuff for you?

Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks!I am not with ArtistRoom, but just to share... Tiles, the ID will def bring you to see. For tiles because the ID will know the amount of tiles to get etc, this one have to let the ID settle. I dun recommend to go with the ID for furniture or toilet fittings selection. Yes, it seems like you get a better price, but likely the ID also get a commission for bringing their clients to their recommended shops. Best is to settle all these yourselves.

Thanks!hmm for me i source most of the stuff myself as i dun think the IDs will have better then we can get. reason so, they are too busy to go around looking for good deals. Best is to search the forums for good buy and all.. Lightings--> Light station at jalan besarToiletries ---> royal fancoAirxcon--> Gaincity , i feel they did a good job and they have 5 yrs warranty haha so i feel best to go for reputable companies although they may be a bit ex but if u catch them during the fair when they throw in 5 yrs warranty for free then it is worth it.. ArtistRoom do have their aircon contractor but i feel no 5 yrs waranty better not..Furniture--> I source the sofa myself and the platform only... as for the dinning and chairs they brought me to buy and of coz if u have no idea.. katy have lots of them on where to get them and cheaper i feel.. heheTiles--> nope, i was not brought to any of the shops to choose..katy have selected them for me. I dun have any preference in that since not much tiles for me.. haha but i am sure they can bring u.all in all if u have any other items ordered, they will arrange for you like what they do for me but pls do bear in mind.. U have to check it urself to make sure things are up to ur standard. They will help u liase, open the door, see if the general are okie.. Details wise will still have to depend on yourself to check... Edited August 24, 2011 by ugene512 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it depends on whether your ID is willing to pass on the designer discounts to you or keep for themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are using the cheaper ones, designer discounts won't work in shops like Royal Fanco where the better deals are found, cuz they are already giving us a good price, and even with designer discount (if they accept in the 1st place) the savings are minimal.

stardust205 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Hey bro, I can't agree anything more with you.Shared the same sentiments as you do, cuz I was in the same shoes too..And I also dun fancy "acting all bossy to my contractors" either, esp to the workers whom really toiled for the $. House renovating is a very worrying task to do, i need to please my wife, my family and my pocket. Furthermore, with all the things coming together, wedding,phototaking and career it make it worse and added up to the stress level. Any mistake or wrong in any part of the phase will be an big impact on me, therefore my mentatily is always "ask a favour" from da service provider instead of that kind of "i pay money u better do the work" which hurts the relationship i feel or make it very mono, one way. Although, i agree that sometimes people will take advantage to you because u do just that, but i feel the world is round ,what goes around comes around.Sorry guys, talk so much hahaha.. just sharing.,. maybe i too stress liaozhaha Edited August 25, 2011 by stardust205 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stardust205 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 Hmm.. or you can ask the ID/contractor to do a chamfer, or install a rubbery track at the edges? Should be easy task for them. i noted the sharp edges for the left hand side of the mini steps leading up to the plaform...u might hurt yourself..coz my frens did.
