sumobear 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2007 Hi Jaren,Space planning is very important as it will affect your walking space, lighting and electrical points. E.g. Do you need a light above your dining table. If you are engaging an ID, then he or she should be able to assist you. I got a contractor so have to be on my own, firstly I will compile all the specification of the furnitures that I am going to have and will use masking tapes to plot the space on the floor. This will help you to visualise how much space is needed for furnitures and the remaining space for you to move around. You can use coloured tapes or write something on the tape to differentiate things.I remembered that I burnt midnight oil to plot the points using the floorplan and went to site the next day morning to continue with on-site plotting to ensure everything is right.

He company used to do oni carpentry work, oni started doing reno a few yrs back... tat y all carpentry work so cheap.. i think he charge cheap to attract more ppl to recommend... Oni bad point is tat they haven recruit any interior designers... so u have to give him some idea to do wat u wan... more like contractor... but he say he going to hire a designer soon... As for y i choose postform is bcos solid top are diff to maintain, will have scratches... Postform easier to maintain & oso more range... btw mine is not norm type of postform, higher grade type... feel like solid top... and oso i will contruct a sink support in my service yard... so cabinet area will be seperated from my sink... this way it will last longer and cost lower.. His carpentry workmenship is veri gd... but dunno others will be as gd... once reno done den i will recommend him to others... btw my fren house done by him, not bad seems...If u all wanna do minor reno, can look for him..HAHA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
