3 Room Resale

[Songz 132]

Thanks everyone for the input.

This is just the first quote I got from one of the ID but seems that a lot is wrong.

He will do a requote and I keep you all update again.

Once again thanks for the input and advance thanks to those that post later for the quote shown above.

Hi Songz, any updates?

[Songz 132]

Its been a while since last update as there are quite a few changes due to FSM suggestion.

I will touch a bit on ID selection for this post.

Juz Interior - Frank

Young chap with a new started Interior Company which started last year.

Cheapest quote among all as they have their carpentry factory in Malaysia if I am not wrong (Usually Carpentry makes the bulk of the costing)

Take in my ideas and will give his views and advise on better suggestion to it. Easy going.

RenoGuyz - Nick

Pricing is quite reasonable but ideas for the house does not really click with me.

Saw previous post of his job shows quite good workmanship + dead space usage.

There is also a minor case of argument for some work done but to be fair, i feel its not totally his side of the fault.

Custom Box - Mr Foo (Chosen)

Pricing is reasonable (Slightly higher pricing compare to other targeted).

Good workmanship and good space planning (After viewing his completed job site - His house).

Take in suggestion and give good advice for situations.

Prompt in reply.

Most important since I know where his house location, if he don't do a good job I will go hang pig head (Juz kidding)

Connectix Interior - Nigel

Done renovation for my brother's house 2 times before.

However during the process, went a bit MIA (Think too busy) thus decide to let go.

Alan Furniture & Renovation Contractor - Alan

Popular in RT.
Some people who were doing renovation at a later stage(Yr end 2013) seem to have a lot of problems with him in terms of communication & workmanship. However there are also some who have good experience with him in terms of workmanship and ideas.

Decided not to test my luck.

**Pls note that these are my personal views based on my own judgement.

I have no affiliation or issues with any of the above stated company and people.

Hi,

Foo seems like a good ID, based on what I read. Who are his contractors?

I have hired my ID before I read about Foo. Otherwise, I would have considered Foo. Foo's designs are too industrial for me though.

When are you starting your renovation? From 29th April onwards?

Not sure on the contractors as I haven't seen them.

[Songz 132]

Hahaha ~

As long before Lunar 7th month complete i am ok ...

Most important to me is the workmanship of the renovation

[Songz 132]

1st Day (Hacking)

[northhaven 4]

Wow your reno progressing fast! Will be following to see your updates:)

[Songz 132]

After hacking notice a problem.

Originally not going to do any false ceiling & Living Room will eat into kitchen size of 1meter.

After hacking, found out that the kitchen ceiling wall is lower by around 4 Inch (10cm).

Some suggestion I got :

1. Do false ceiling for whole of living room and use downlights

2. Design a big piece of platform above dinning area (Which is part of where the Living eat into kitchen)

3. Few feature Beams.

Anyone have any suggestion or propose as above ?
