  1. here you go: Irene Sim HP : 8133 2202 irene@intradesign.com.sg
  2. ermmm...is anyone considering Irene? She's not bad...my house is still in good condition after 20 months of reno. This is my blog (though not updated for very long time) if you are interested. www.bruceyhome.blogspot.com
  3. ermm...why no one is considering Irene? She's good and responsive even until now...10 months since the renovation completed...
  4. To me, I personally think that drawings are secondary. 3D drawings are usually visually fantastic but you jolly well know that the reno will not turn out to 100% of what you see on the 3D.
  5. Hi guys, my platform bed had arrived much earlier than expected. Those guys in hommage is commendable, I had much worries initially as it was their policy to pay 50% upfront. I was thinking what if they close their business...I placed the order on 26 Dec and was told that my bed would only arrive somewhere before CNY. On 13th, someone calls me up and advise me that the shipment will arrive on 18th. I thought to myself, wow I had never encounter same treatment from other furniture shops...usually I will have to call up and ask. On 14th, another person from hommage calls up and advise me the shipment arrival date again. A little surprise this time, I didn't expect them to call me twice...though very kiasu but this is the kind of service that consumer wants. I received the bed yesterday....very nice bed and I like it very much. I will definitely recommend to my friends. here's my review for them: Service: 9/10 Price: 8/10 (i saw the same bed elsewhere with a much higher price) Communication: 9/10
  6. I guess they should at least have the courtesy to give the customer a call informing them about the delay rather than you call up after a long wait. A day leave is money and it comes in handy when you have more important things whereby you need to apply for the leave.
  7. I guess it is unlikely to receive different treatment base on the budget. It is the reputation that intradesign is upholding. Of cos, the ultimate choice is still yours. No harm contacting them for a quote, if their attitude is not what you expected, you can always switch to another ID firms. Anyway, congrats to you on your new home!
  8. If everyone is reading this forum, I'm sure that "black shop" will have to close his shop in no time..
  9. No not only the kitchen but the hall as well... Not true, actually a good electrician is able to conceal the wires inside the wall. The wires in my place is fully concealed be it real concrete walls or boards. But of course, the cost may be a few hundred more..
  10. ermmm why isn't the wirings concealed? Surely it will make your house much better without those cases.
  11. Went down to hommage as per forumer's recommendation. Bought a platform bedframe just by looking and choosing from the catalogue and paid 50% deposit. But was advised that the bed frame will only be delivered a month later or before CNY. Just keep my fingers crossed and hope they honoured their words.... Anyone out there having bad experience with them before?
  12. thanks so much! Are they reliable and how about their price? Have you ever bought from these online stores?
  13. Do you have more information like the website, location or contact number? Many thanks.
  14. Anyone out there any lobang for nice platform bed frame? I once saw it at YIN HE but it seems that this furniture shop is no longer existing? Saw a few at Full House Furniture shop recently but not really to my liking. Furthermore, it will only arrive after 18 Jan (one month later) not sure whether they will still be there after taking the deposits..nowadays furniture shops close down very fast.
  15. ermmm all the feedback are found in this thread...i'm a customer of intradesign and till now i'm still happy with their work & attitude. My renovation completed abt 5 months ago....
  16. hihi Shan, sorry for the late reply as I've not been logging in recently. Yes Irene is good and responsible, she's very responsive to my calls, smses or emails. Not sure about others but I'm happy with her attitude and we are just like friends. I've moved in to my new place since 14 Jun (just nice, exactly one month now) and everything is fine. I had a housewarming 2 Saturdays ago and my friends commented that my place is really well done up. Do let pm me if you want to see photos... Cheers.

    Curtains Help

    On the recommendation from the forumer and my ID, I wen down to Jimmy Textile at Tanjong Katong complex on 22 May. True enough, I was served by a sale guy who will explain the different types of material to me. I asked if the curtains can be ready and delivered by 30 May and he said no problem. On 30 May, I was happily waiting for my curtains to arrive (note: I'm not living at my new place yet) on Sat and indeed, those guys arrived on time with some curtains but advise me that the roman blinds are still not ready. I've paid 50% deposit and being nice, I told them that's fine, shall give them another week which they say would call me on Monday (1 June) to rearrange a timing to deliver (they took back the whole curtains). I gave them a call yesterday to check, a lady picked up the call and advise that she has to check with the guy who sold me the curtains and that she couldn't give any confirmation to me and promise to call me back but never do so. This morning, I sms the sales guy and ask him to check and confirm the delivery and he merely reply my sms with an "ok" and that's all and almost half day gone still no answer. I was thinking whether is this the service I expect? Before I place the deposit, everything is ok, sure can, even I ask him twice whether he can make it for the curtains in a week. Next, nobody even call me to tell me that the Roman blinds are not ready until when the delivery man came to tell me that. Wonder if anyone here had the same experience?
  18. hi all, I've just had my place renovated and handed over with some minor touch up pending this coming Sat. Please PM me if you want to share my joy and see some pictures....anyway, please pardon my poor photography skill and also my camera is a little faulty..
  19. As long as they are working under a registered company, GST is inevitable as your cheque (commission) is payable to their company and not in the agent's name. Two ways to tackle with this: 1. Negotiate with the agent to see if they can absord the GST (in most of the cases, quite impossible). 2. Tell the agent to put down 1% on wriitten agreement and tell him that you will pay the other 1% under his name (provided he agree to do so, because he bears the risk of you not honouring your words). In this case, you only need to pay GST for that 1% payable to his company. Not sure if it works, just my opinion.
  20. Not sure if this is ethical for the buyer to do so? Also, will it breach any rules or policies and will get the potential buyer into trouble? If no, then it should be a great idea..just slot your info + offer into their letterbox haha
  21. To be fair, I think most firms require payments before work starts. Otherwise, they may have cash flow problem if all the clients don't pay up or delay payment after work is done. Not sure why yours was 50% +50%, mine is 50% before start of the hacking and laying of tiles and 40% upon finishing the first stage but before proceeding to the carpentry works and 10% upon taking over. Some others offered me 50%+45%+5% so it really depends. As for my reno work, so far I'm happy with their work and also their attitude is commendable. My ID calls me up for updates on what has been done and what's the next step. Next week, my carpentry will start and if you need to see some pictures for reference, please pm me.
