ID vs Contractor. Our experience with direct contractor

I hope this information will be useful to all homeowners who wish to save cost on home renovation works. Just as any other couples, we approached a few interior designers to build our dream home. To be frank, we were quite disappointed with their proposed ideas and design.  Im proud to say we were the designers for our own home but of course with the help and advice from our contractor. Since we had to keep within our budget (arrival of our baby around the same time), we decided to do the renovation with a contractor after hearing from friends that it is possible to have a wow home makeover and save significant savings too. Information on renovation ideas are also readily available online. We were very much involved during the whole process. We invested our time on phone calls and checks to ensure evrything goes as plan such as the correct colours, design and layout as discussed with our contractors. Here are some of our house's photos in progress and the outcome. Im unable to upload all the completed photos due to size. All the best in planning your dream home!

CAN PM me...?

I have to tell you that it might not be the best idea to design it all by yourself. You just do not know a lot of tiny and crucial details about interior design. I have also made the design for one of my apartments back in the day. Man, it was a total mess! Trust me, hiring a proper designer is way better and cheaper than doing it by yourself and remaking it a couple of times. Right now, we are renovating our older house, and the only thing that I have participated in the renovation process was choosing the house signs :D. I have got some great signs from baliandboo.com. Even my wife likes them!
