Bro. I think you had all things a bit mix up. When doing A/A for my house, the actual process is to engage an architect first, not ID. My consultant design for our house then engage ID to do space planning and interior design. Upon construction begins, have them group up to coordinate your construction and renovation process so that you no need to spend extra money paying for VOs.My builder and ID works well as they are under same company. Getting an inexperience ID will cost you spending $ as some are inexperience in building regulations.My builder , Willy and ID Mr. Chua is the cheapest during the tendering and their service is prompt and good. If You are interested, you may drop me your email and I can recommend him to you. Going to China, especially Guangzhou, to buy your stuff will be a good idea as things over there are super cheap. We bought our lights, curtains and some tap wares and import for our house and really save a lot. You will save at least $20-30k.

haha... you're right!  I did the reverse. It was tougher because the facade kinda look a little off after the ID has his go on design first. But the good thing was everything was design according to how I would use the house, and then we adjust the facade later. I got an independent ID because my belief was any good designer would strike out on their own eventually. So I think I paid a bit more for my ID. 

Btw, how is your house going now? wanna chat in private? Give me some tips leh...

Hi Serangoony, how is the progress of your works? And how do we find you on FB?

Hi, I am interested in your FB discussion.  We'd engaged a architect to design our house, its in the designing stage, confirming next week, the architect will get all the drawings out for submission.

Put me in your discussion. Thank you.
