    A few months ago, I embarked on the journey to engage and ID... I went to a few places and explained the concept of my home to numerous IDs.. Just to share a learning experience.. It would be good to actually source a couple to IDs online or thru recommendations from friends. Make an appointment first before going down to their office. MOst respectable and popular IDs are busy with their tight schedules.. SO it would be best to give them a buzz b4 coming over..

    I have since engaged Melvin from Ideal House. We had an explosive quote from him initially however upon explaining our budget and him doing some magic, we managed on a budget agreeable to both party. =) Taking into consideration that we did not MINUS out much from the initial renowork to be done.. We chose him out of 10 IDs due to his acute sense of technicalities and calculations of space management. Most importantly you need to have a gd relationship and common understanding with ur prospective ID. BTW Melvin did not ask for a single cent until my hacking was almost completed.. NO deposit until the reno has started.

    Im already into my second week of reno with hacking and tiling almost completed.. So far so good.. Melvin has been generally responsive and accomodative to our needs and my wife's fussy requirements... I will begin posting pics of my reno journey soon.. =)

    Some specification of my reno:

    HDB 5 room unit.

    Budget: $40,000

    Hacking and laying homogeneous tiles for the whole house. Both toilets and kitchen to be redone. Built-in wardrobes for all bed rooms including a walk-in wardrobe for the master. Feature wall and shoe cabinet for the living. Doors and grills changed. Basically a make-over of my entire house.. Etc, etc.. Lazy to type liao =P

    PS, im not advertising for my ID. For his contact number, you can search for it online.. Just as I did.. =)

    Last but not least, we as customers not only choose our ID.. The ID also choose the customer.. If he can sense a good working relationship, he can do wonders for the quotation.. Of course it must be withing the ID's means..

    Cheers!!

    My house is done by Melvin too. Currently still under reno and and i agreed with you that he is really responsive which is very important.

    Overall I had no problem with him. My views are not just looking for those popular ids, also must hv chemistry with the id too.

    Had earlier placed deposit for a sofa (>$2k after GST) with them when I was at the Modern Living Fair 2011. Thought it's pretty nice to have custom made sofa for my new home, so had a shock when I saw this thread.

    Totally no positive comment about them??

    Pray and hope that mine turns out ok. I've yet to even discuss with them on the exact size and design of the sofa I want.

    we are in the same boat :) let's crossed our fingers haha hope everything goes well!!!!

    Yes, they are specialize in doing bedframe. Heard from boss that beds.sg, univonna and some other reputable stores are also getting bedframes from them.

    However, there will be a lead time of 6weeks so it will be good if you place your order early or even before your start reno.

    okay thks alot Payton!!!!

    Hi, I paid $600 for the black one. But if you are going for red colour, i think they are selling for only $400.

    quite reasonable price for tat bed but i heard they need to import to here and take quite sometime to deliver right?

    Hommage hv a lot of nice platform bed too.
