hey norman. thanks for the info! i was still feeling quite worried initially about spending almost $3k on the bedframe & mattress. but all my friends said one should invest more on a good bed. so glad to know that OM beds are good. i'm forgoing the sofa from OM & will be getting a 2-seater sofa from Commune instead. -

been thinking thru the layout for my unit & finally came up with this: and after getting so many quotes & making myself confused, I've (unofficially) appointed Alan the contractor to do my house. i'll have to do without the 3D drawings. hope everything turns out well. -

Hi Nexer saw the tiles at hafary. as for the "wooden" WC, i think the name of the shop is spazio. cost is $580, if i recalled correctly. -

My fan arrived today! OMG so heavy...wonder if there will be any problem installing it went window shopping for tiles & got confused by the selection. think need to make another trip again. took photos of some that i like. Wood like tiles: I love this tile that look very much like cement screeding! and this tile will go into my master bedroom bathroom (most probably): window shopping continues tomorrow... -

tired from all the sourcing of quotations. finally shortlisted 3. I think i've approached more than 10 companies so far & 10 quotes were received. This is the latest summary of the quotes I've gotten - and yes, this will be the final list. no more looking around. it's really tiring! 1) U Home (Pen - ID) - met up 2 mths ago but no quote yet. think they aren't keen in doing business 2) Design Ministry (ID - recommended by colleague) - quote submitted. way exceeded budget by at least $10k. 3) Prozfile (Alvin - ID) - saw their booth at a recent exhibition at expo. love their designs. quote was ok (mid range) 4) Vace (Vincent - Contractor) - recommended by colleague. suprisingly expensive, despite being a contractor. 5) Renozone (Colin - ID) - recommended by friend. very prompt & sincere. quote among the top 3 most competitive. 6) AMDA Interior (Ambrose) - recommended by friend. quote among the top 3 most competitive. 7) Mr K - contractor - recommended by Renotalk members. very expensive. 8) Ming Hui - ID - recommended by agent. ex as well. 9) Jiawei - recommended by renotalk member. quote was rather ex. 10) Aian (Alan - contractor) - recommended by renotalk members. quote among the top 3 most competitive. So, I've shortlisted the following: 1) Renozone (Colin - ID) - recommended by friend. Colin is the boss. Very busy man but never fails to return my calls when I have questions about the quote - met up with him once & he showed me a unit which he renovated a year ago - very good after sales service (from what I have observed when the flat owner allowed him to bring customers to view the unit) & honest as well 2) AMDA Interior (Ambrose - ID) - recommended by friend - new company but Ambrose is not new to the industry. - the main con is that his company is not a HDB registered reno co 3) Aian (Alan - contractor) - recommended by renotalk members - provided the lowest quote - have heard & read a mix of reviews about him -
