    All these cost above my budget so i'm not doing any carpentry works for the guests room. I think it's cheaper to buy them in the store. 

    ID that are able to give nice artwork would need to charge some extra for their efforts.... hoping that with the 3D you will be moved to part more money to them. On top of that, you have to budget at least 10% more for unknown stuff that might need to do during reno...

    Thanks guys for all your advices.
    Hmm...it does make sense that ID may bring clients to new company hence the silence.
    Maybe i'm overthinking it. Sigh.

    I'm still very comfortable with Jason handling my project because of my good rapport with him and honestly
    i'm abit tired of going thru the process of hunting a new ID all over again who may or may not do the same thing. :( 

    Looking for ID is indeed a stressful thing lol...

    ya, you are going to spend a lot of money on reno, that is why a lot of effort are needed to look for the correct person to do your reno. 

    other than buying the flat itself, would be the reno that cost the most. i spent nearly 50k on reno, excluding all the furniture and electrical goods....... this is not a decision to be made lightly....

    Thanks for your reply :)
    All along I trust Jason because he has had very good rapport with me and is the only person i was conversing with.
    But yea, I feel the trust is now quite eroded due to this incident. He'll have to regain the trust again.
    I suppose I can't blame him since he's not the person who left, but as a Manager, shouldn't be like this right?

    Sigh...here i was thinking why not just handsfree let them do their thing i dun disturb them.
    I guess IDs really must push and push then they'll respond.

    Policy to restrict her informing client that she's exiting the project?
    Thats a very strange policy if you tell me. Wouldn't it be better to be honest to the client then keep client in the dark?
    Is this practised by all Interior Companies?

    Some are worried that the ID will bring the clients to new company. so they are not allowed to inform clients if or when they leave. 

    at least yours have not started yet. if you do not feel comfortable, take it that $500 is for all the tiles + laminate shopping fee. so if you choose another ID, then no need to start all over again. but if you still trust jason, then continue with him. 

    from here, you can read a lot of t-blogs of all type of ID or contractors that don't do what they said during meet ups. that is why other than beauty salon, i think ID/contractors get the most complaints by CASE. :bangwall:

    hope you will make the decision most comfortable for you. All the best!!!! keep us updated....

    Ya if u take into account your Reno cost, most resale bought 5 yrs ago won't make profits.... :(

    cannot take into consideration of reno cost lah.... reno depreciating for 5-8 years depending how prudent you are. so me as accountant, i only take into consideration my reno is depreciating at 5 years. but interests paid to bank + interests owing to CPF cos using CPF $$ to pay for installment, then not earning loh.

    ahh, the master is here! Was about to check with you on the smart home idea!

    yes... i hope with my budget

    i still owe those reading my t-blog on my smart home idea. hahahahaha...... i better update that soon. :P

    your layout is nice rectangular.... very easy to make it interesting.... 

    reno have to consider budget for furnishing + electrical appliances..... so usually i will add both together cos you can add in an island then no need to buy a separate dining table. 

    electrical items would be those reno cannot incl like aircon, fridge, washing machine, stove, water heater, oven etc.

    for furnishing, if done by reno then will last longer but also means its perm and cannot move as you like to different position. but human are creature of habit, if that dining table is there, usually we will not move it anywhere else..... so no reason that i cannot be perm. consider all these before you starts reno.

    Yeah found but won't be spending so much on Reno cos broke Liao.... :D moreover as u know I bought my flat resale 5 yrs ago, didn't make any profit selling :wacko:

    that's fast.... really so much easier to buy than to sell. hahahaha..... if i sell and buy another one, i think not only not make profit, i think i will lose money loh. so still better to stay put and be happy....

    Might be a tad early to buy lol but thanks for the heads up! :)

    philips sales is once a year so worth to go and have a look lah..... last time i also buy like 4-5 months in advance. they can keep the stock for you if you do see anything you want. but if small electrical items like rice cooker, vacuum cleaner etc, you can put at your current place. will not take too much space.
