HaiDeChen 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 a bit bored waiting for contractors to send my quotations, so went ahead to look for another. It's an interesting way to expand on one's design/ideas for the flat.....am a little bit disappointed to find out that my flat's walls are not really suitable for putting on cement screed, so I am in search for a new design/look for my flat...well, unless is super sand down and then roughen up the walls which would definitely burst my budget.

cutebaby20 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 Hi, I finally confirm my contractor and have when to see his workmanship. He is not a ID cos all ID very expensive. he is just a contractor and will not draw any 3D picture, will only show what he had done for his customer flat.And he meet my budget. Hope you will find a good one too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HaiDeChen 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 Hi Cutebaby Most forummers are correct, contractors and ID's price difference is around 10%, at least that's what i've gotten so far. Which means my reno will still blow my budget by about 4k sigh. Waiting to hear from 2 more before I make a decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HaiDeChen 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2012 It's been a while and I've met up with 3 more IDs/contractors to discuss my renovation. Doesn't look like it's going to be anywhere close to my original budget!But I'm guessing since all the the quotes are within 5k of one another, I really have to spend that amount of money. Oh the other hand, I am so unwilling to make compromises...so let's see how this journey goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HaiDeChen 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2012 Tan Boon Liat building is indeed a godsend for people who love wood/clean-cut furniture!splurged on a queen size bed with storage at Mountain Teakintending to get some decorative stuff from Pomelo Really love their sofas and shelves..unfortunately very out of budget.For people with LARGE floor space, journey east has really large pieces of furniture...unfortunately nothing fits in my small flat.Lots of antique shops too for those into very vintage stuff. Am glad to have settled on a sofa from Air.....went ahead and chose Mandarin Orange as the colour of the sofa fabric...hope it's not going to be overly bright!Kickstarter is pretty amazing to find stuff for house, already backed Clip Trees...Am so excited...getting keys in less than 2 weeks and can start renovation IMMEDIATELY!
