last weekend spoke to 3 IDs that we met during the Home Fair at expo the prev wkend. 1) U*ique Desig* - Worst of the lot. Actually i already 'heard' of their reputation before we went, but they were the very 1st ID firm at the fair and since they offer to advise on 'space planning' FOC, so we just listened. We were not v pleased w the quotation and pricing, still wanted to hardsell to us and asking us to place a non-refundable deposit of $1.5k 'just to see six 3D drawings'. We haven even get to see the revised quotation! 2) Me*age Desig* - Nvm heard of them b4 on forums. Price was the cheapest, but not inclusive of built-in wardrobe, ask me to take from other contractors specialising in wardrobes. They are v smart, cos if include in, confirm will exceed the budget i gave them. 3) I*ner Room - Most comfortable with this firm. Heard that they are subsidary of Rezt and Relax. But pricing still a little higher than my budget. They are willing to accommodate some minor add-ons without additional charge. Still waiting for their revised quotation.

morn everyone thks for all the warm welcome!! so glad that there are so many friendly people here to share w me! pics still long to come. my 1st appt is only in Jan.. so i'm eagerly waiting... and waiting... selection for ID w my limited budget is a headache! pinkpetter: been procrastinating with the scanning. Today may go IMM to walk walk, so better scan in last night to print out. i saw ur t-blog too, quickly reveal ur ID leh. and also..... ^5 to easterner! i love the east!

Still very new to this forum. Hope everyone can share w me your experiences in renovation! My house hunting story is amazing, i found my flat in 2 days of flat hunting, viewing a total of only 7 houses. Basically the piglets are lazy to go house after house and we set pretty strict requirements.. like max valuation tt we r willing to pay, low COV, want lift landing, don't want weird shaped houses, don't want low level, want to be near my mum. we are fussy, but thankfully my agent was efficient and filter thru all my requirements before bringing us to view the flat. We both like the flat the moment we saw it. So finally.. i'm still gonna remain an easterner that's 3 bustops away from my mum... here's my house layout to start off:

hee! i did my homework on those. Called up a few, so i know the main gate n window grill pricing. Anyone here staying in top floor? One of the ID told me he's gonna revise the charge after knowing my unit is the top floor and ceiling is higher.

anyone has contractors that are gd with color combi? I have gotten a 1st quote from 3 ID firms and its beyond my budget. Basically i'm going for minimalist style, not much design required but i've a problem with color combi. I simply have no talent for art.

Thks pinkpetter, ahockz! Anyone has their contact? i would prefer to speak to the ID straight rather than trying out my luck by just popping by the shop. ahhockz: i thought so too, with flooring out, it shd be cheaper. But surprisingly 3 ID firms quoted me ard 25k-27k excluding plastering!! Here's the major list of items i'm doing, can advise if my budget is reasonable? - Hack entire kitchen cabinet and built new cabinets (floor and wall tiles to remain) - To 'close' up the kitchen. Currently open concept but i'm gonna aircon the living room - Master toilet everything to change, floor n tiles inclusive. - 1 built-in wardrobe (est. 12ft) - Plastering of walls (whole unit) and repainting - Half height false wall + tv console. Probably false ceiling/L-box. - Change main gate and window grills in living room+1 bedroom i suppose the major one is the kitchen.

Hi everyone, i'm new here.. very 1st post. Just bought my resale 4A n having headache over the very tight budget we have. For those who have been with GPlan, will they even entertain my budget of 20k (i'm retaining all flooring except MBR toilet)? Can anyone share Kelvin or Gordon's contact?
