    Hi, lovely house, I understand that your ID is Rix from Fuse, I am very interested in the other ID which left an impression in you to make u hard to choose between him and your current ID.

    I am interested in someone who is very creative and play with ideas. Could you PM me the name and contact of "Ke*** from Spa** Se**e Stu***" which you typed out in your page 1.

    If possible please also share his quotation.

    Thanks.

    Hi perhaps i would be good to post the many various ID/ or contractor that you went to, why and why didn't you choose them.

    And also since renovation is over, is it possible to share how much total Kevin charged you for this project ?

    I like your kitchen.

    Red X Black combi very nice :jammin:

    Reno - Curtains

    A house is not a home without...curtains. Time for curtains! We wanted to do day & night curtains for all rooms (living + 3 bedrooms)

    We contacted a few vendors:

    • MGL Curtains
    • JimmyTextiles
    • Exquisite Rosewood Cushion Mfg Centre
    • Ricky (recommended by ID)
    • Vincent (very popular in Renotalk community)

    In the end, we decided to go with Vincent. It was a no brainer decision really, after comparing his quote and others'. Of course at that point of time we could not verify the quality of his work, but you gotta trust the Renotalk community, don't you :bleah:

    And indeed, his price, workmanship, and service are superb! :good: He showed his care for our little home: laying old curtains on the floor and sofa for protection, using a dust collector to make sure there is minimum dust when he drills the wall. He is also a cheerful guy. Thumbs up! :good:

    Living Room:

    Hi future neighbor (from WWT2), can you share the contact of your ID and contact of Vincent.

    If possible your total price of renovation quoted by Nick and your quotation soft copy.

    Many Thanks.

    @zio i used 3ds max but if you got no prior knowledge to it it may have a steep learning curve.

    the whole reno took about 25k .

    i am unable to comment on the design sense of the ID as i basically got the design and detailed measurements and he mainly jus carry it out or give some recommendations. but he is a good project manager and will try his best to get things done for u provided u get the information across clearly.

    the ID is Joseph from i-deal house.

    Hi Zenarc, is this the website of your ID ?

    http://www.idealhouse.com.sg/

    Thanks

    Just to share my recent experience with R&R. Signed up with them at an Expo exhibition, with ID Angel** W**g. On the spot, she gave a quotation of what I had required, and even signed a piece of paper stating that the prices of my add-ons will not change with time. Months later after a few rounds of revision, I compared the latest quotation with that piece of paper, the add-on item prices had been jacked up (she probably thought I don't check). Then she was never available on weekends to meet, kinda questionable when I tried to even book her in advance. On one occasion, I asked if she was too busy for me. She replied she was 'waiting for another customer to reply' first - concluded that I wasn't 'on par' with her other clients, maybe theirs was a bungalow? Then the 3D drawings never once came on time, I had to constantly give her a reminder past deadline to ask for it. Her creativity was only so-so, very run-of-the-mill type.

    Then without seeking my permission, she posted the 3D drawings of my apartment on her R&R profile as a completed job, costing only $20K taking a total of 3 weeks to complete. Today, I have not even been issued my keys, and her then b&w quotation to me was $50K, with estimated 8 weeks renovation time. This is tantamount to pure dishonesty and deceit to consumers.

    When I called up R&R to lodge a complain, I could only reach as far to the company's personal assistant. No official apology was ever given by R&R management.

    Since then, I had met up 5 other ID firms for a quote with same specs. They responded with prices half of what Angel** W**g had quoted, and with unique designs. IMO, large commercialized firms tend to be topline driven with less creative juices. Most of their ideas are just 'copy and paste' from previous jobs. In fact, one of the concept images that Angel** W**g had presented to me, was an original job done by my current ID. Through my experience with these other ID firms, I feel smaller firms are hungrier for business, more customer-focused, and definitely full of creativity and zany ideas.

    Never mind lifetime warranties - if my TV console should ever fall apart, I should be concerned about the workmanship of that ID firm rather than the free patchwork!

    hi which is the other 5 ID firms you visited, and which one did you choose eventually
