My first experience in choosing IDs so far: I uploaded my floor plan on Renotalk website and requested for quotations. Initially, I was flooded with many calls from several IDs. Almost all of them AGAIN! asked me to send the floor plan to them, even though I uploaded the floor plan on the website in the first place. Also all the IDs wanted to meet me and see the site. I asked all the IDs to drop me an email with their first quote based on the floor plan and my initial requirements for me to consider before I can meet them up. If not, I need to spend next many weeks just to meet them all! Surprisingly, most of the IDs never send me any email after the call. Only a handful few sent me emails some with standard package offers inspite of me mentioning what I wanted to do! Few of them sent me intro email and after that no response! I was impressed by Vincent Blog (http://www.vincentinteriorblog.com/) on his knowledge and advice to new home owners like me. I reached out to Vincent and sent him my floor plan and requested for quotations. (similar to Renotalk). I was recommended to 2 IDs by Vincent. Unfortunately AGAIN, no response by both the recommended IDs, inspite of me waiting for over 3 weeks for them to respond! Looks like every ID in this business is very busy with loads of projects! Appears to me that ID business is a good business to be in! In the next part, I will write about my experience in shortlisting the ID’s – thanks to the Renotalk friends feedback and some personal contacts.

Hi folks, Recently thinking of a partial innovation of my hdb flat (smaller type of 4room, 83sqm). Here is a quote that I have just got. Is it possible to find a quote a few hundred dollars cheaper? Or maybe can the current quote adds a couple of small work items? .

Please advice.

They're awesome! Lol. Where did you get them? (These + your switch decal as well)

Thanks for your compliment! The dining table is shipped via Oops and its not expensive at all. Considering its solid wood and in such a beautiful shade of colour, its approx $650 with shipping + gst , I've seen this table in SG for $1k++ and those laminate/veneer ones going for $500+ Its price-worthy in my opinion and I've got a lot of compliments for the table!

Hi all, Im looking for a reliable and price resonable contractors to work on my kitchen. (Just kitchen) Required work is basically to remove the current Kitchen cabinets and redo everything. My location is in Woodlands. Any good contractors to recommend? Thanks in advance...

If I've used Peeks might be more straight forward. But I try to save a bit by liaising with the sellers direct, cutting away the fee that have to be paid for assisted purchase service. Initially was a bit confusing with Aliwangwang, Alipay blah blah...but I do get to chat direct with the sellers on my queries and ask for customisation for certain items if they do provide such service . Yup, what I like about my house layout is that it is clear-cut enough, no weird corners or space to waste
