bellyheng 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 dunnolet my id worry about it ><I'm thinking abt the same thing osoIts my gf's dream to have a WIW which is next to the toilet.Hacking the wall will be solve the issue but like what des saidit will add on the cost both removing and re-building it on the future buyer's request.so I'm really waiting for a bright idea from the IDs.

TYM 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 Read in a ID magazine (dun know is it Home & Decor, Home Concepts or Squarerooms) that to have a WIW, the room should be at least 6 x 4m. If your room measures smaller than that, then it is probably too small to have one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zirhk3355 1 Report post Posted April 11, 2007 For IDs, after doing my 'rounds', found that they are more or less the same in terms of pricing; of course lets not talk about those 'fly-by-night' contractors lah.Singapore is a small country; there can't be a big variation in terms of contracting services, and likelihood is that some of those IDs that you had approached are using the same subcontractor!Thus for wifey and me, the most impt is the service and their design knowledge, because that is unique for each ID and forms the basis of our selection criteria.

Thought of not doing WIW, but the price for a normal wardrobe comes to about the same.You all starting to look at IDs also ?I have visited 3 IDs in January, and since then have not got over my "ID/ContractorPhopbia" yet, all trying hard to make you part with the hard earned money. Finding hard to get myself to re-start talking to the ID again... the super friendly contractor below the blocks doesn't help too much with the phobia either.. May just wait until i get my keys (or at least if there is a stated date) before I start looking for them again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what I notice. Also, from some friends' experience and advice, it's better to get those recommended or with Radac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what I notice. Also, from some friends' experience and advice, it's better to get those recommended or with Radac.For radac, it seemed that their pricings are usually on the high side too, simply because they are endorsed by radac mah. I think what alot of people (like me!) are trying to do is to try to find a good ID that is not (yet) accredited by radac, so maybe can give good value vs price.Also, there are alot of good IDs who actually refused to join associations like radac because they want to be portrayed as a different class.
