  4. Sofa bought from furniture fair at Expo. View sofa here: http://kohnlee.blogspot.com/2010/02/furnishing.html Full leather S$1999 Would like to get black, but Im afriad that the living area will look too dark cos my wall paper is black. BUt if I choose white or cream, its good to look at but not easy to maintain Hence, we chose a colour thats in between...its call 'Stone'. This sofa comes with adjustable seats and head rest.
  5. Im sorry to hear about your bad experience. Actually we as house owners have to do due diligence of checking up on the contractor that u engage. My friend also recommended me to my current ID/ Contractor, A&D, which I eventually engage their services. Everything went smoothly. Even when there is any hiccups, he gave us the assurance that he will get it done for us. Due diligence such as, checking on the firm or speaking to a few more firms to find out how exactly does the market operate. After which, we as house owners will not be taken for granted and ignorant of everything. Our experience was we short listed 3 and having find out more about the company we chose A&D. I can tell u a lot of info about the firm that we engage. Eg: A&D was set up by 5 brothers. The firm has 7 ID. They own 2 carpentry factory at AMK Park 2 In AMK, there are 7 groups of carpenters working on each ID's project. Each group of carpenter is made up of at least 3 skilled carpenters. A&D hardly appear in advertisements, print ads, etc...they got their endless business through word of mouth which is very important to consumers. They have done at least 100 units in the new estate Fernvale (I got his info from their worker). They are currently working on at least 7 units at Duxton along Cantonment Road. They have their own in-house Draughtsman. A&D is listed under RADAC and HDB list of renovation contractors. We also went onto a few forum to find out about them. Renotalk and living in punggol. Then we realise that they were among the top 3 contractor that residents in Punggol engage. We went down to their office along Upper Serangoon Road and we manage to see a wide variety of materials, etc... And after speaking to our ID for nearly 4 hours for 2 separate session then we sign the contract agreement with him. I have to see we were kiasu, kiasee but it was all worth it And that was how we eventually chose A&D View our renovation progress here: http://kohnlee.blogspot.com/search/label/Renovation
  6. Oh good to hear that. He is almost done with mine except touch up. Our payment terms was spread out into 5 parts with additional work to be paid at the last payment upon completion. But becos he had displayed good service throughout, we paid him the last payment even before he hand the house to us. So after completion we will pay him the additional work done :?
  7. I would like to recommend you my ID. Take a look at my blog to see if u like what you see then if u are interested, PM me This ID is good in a way that he is patient, easy to deal with, good price (I paid in all S$18000 for re-sale condo) and he is quite creative if u like to go for more daring designs. This is my blog on reno: http://kohnlee.blogspot.com/search/label/Renovation
  8. HI DPSK, Yes its the norm to pay a 15% downpayment then progressive payment along the way and the last payment is when they hand the keys and house over back to you. It really depends on individual, whether u prefer to pay more first or pay more at the final payment. I guess most people prefer to hold back more money at the end so that the contractor jolly well attend to all your needs otherwise the last payment which is more is within reach The ID that I engage does have a slightly better last payment than the rest I've seen. But my husband and I actually ask for our very own set of payment terms. Something that cannot find in the market one hahaha...What our ID did was, checked with boss, and once boss gives the green light everything went on smoothly. So the idea is to ASK for it. ASK for whichever type of payment mode you prefer but of course not something that is too overboard that the company is not able to accept lar Hope this helps.
  9. My condo management also did not allow me to paint planter box...but i went ahead hahaha View progress of my reno here: www.kohnlee.blogspot.com
  10. HI all, May I recommend A & D along Upper Serangoon Road. Good work at good price Im very impressed with carpentry work and my husband requested for a lot more switches and plugs around TV console area and yet the ID, Jon, is able to do it in such a way that its hidden and yet practical...the TV console looks clean instead of cluttered with switches View my blog for renovation progress... www.kohnlee.blogspot.com By the way, A & D is both listed under RADAC and HDB listed Check out here for HDB listing: http://www.hdb.gov.sg//bn25/isos118p.nsf/L...ame&SerVal= Checkout here for RADAC: http://www.radac.org.sg/arlist.asp
  11. Yup if doing only kitchen cabinet, its only reasonable that the contractor charge slightly higher. Looks reasonable. If u are interested, I can recommend mine to you. View the progress of my renovation here , www.kohnlee.blogspot.com 1238sqm, re-sale condo, renovation total cost is near to $18000
