Which Id To Choose From?

[leonjennawong 53]

My fiance and I shortlisted 4 IDs:

1) ***** Design Pte Ltd

2) Ideal Design

3) id Emboss

4) Ideal House

#ImageCreativeDesign: One of the first few that impressed us. Can't remember the guy's name but I recalled that they were professional, know their stuff and very frank. I posted my enquiry on iCompare and they replied and followed up. I will be following up with them soon.

#IdealDesign: Have not spoken to them but found several good review on renotalk.

#IdealHouse: My friend told me that there is a Mr K who is quite popular in reno forums. Does anyone have more info? It is a pain in the *** trying to search for info like that because many of the ID firms have similar names!

#idEmboss: Spoke to an Elaine Chai at the Home Decor fair at Marina Square yesterday. Friendly lady. She told us that her firm is around the mid-range price but they do not compromise on quality. They do not have packages and so on because you have no idea what kind of material the package covers. I like that she is straightforward about it. But I can't find much info about this firm yet.

We will be visiting their showrooms and have a detailed talk about the kind of designs and themes we prefer. But I would like to obtain more info about the quality, workmanship and reputation.

Thanks!

if you are looking for workmanship, i heard rezt n relax provide lifetime warranty, when there a couple of week ago. a little bit expensive

You really believed in "Life-Time" Warranty given?

We initially liked rezt and relax. We spoke to them at expo before but the design style is a little too "dark" for our liking. Pricey too.

Anyways, we followed up with #ImageCreativeDesign a few days ago. Our favourite so far. We spoke to James and he is really professional. He knows his designs well, perspective drawing was excellent, and was able to give us very practical solutions/ideas. E.g. for shoe cabinets, he asked us how many shoes we each have, and proposed a built-in shoe cabinet at the entrance, with exact measurements etc. He also predicted for us how much space or comfort we would have in the shower if we put a glass divider in the toilet. Basically, he tried to understand what our lifestyle is and attempts to design our house to it, and not compromising the design. He also brought to our attention many other details which we have never think of, or even heard of from other IDs. Best part is, he estimated that renovating master bedroom, kitchen, 2 toilets and living room can be done within $30k, which is our budget. This includes top and bottom kitchen cabinets, shoe cabinet, built in wardrobe in the master bedroom. #IDEmboss quoted us $40k and said it is very difficult to make it at $30k. We like that he establishes our objectives right from the beginning, before we enter detailed discussions. I think this is important to both the ID firm and the client.

So far, he is our favourite!
