I have been searching for IDs and Contractors in the forums before our collection of keys, and really lost count of the numbers of quotations which I have gotten.
Finally chosen ID No. 1 - Ben from Plush Living
Ben is a middle-age guy and claimed that he used to be a HDB inspector. We can click quite well and he seems to have rather good knowledge on renovations. The quotation given by him met our budget as well.
However, just when we were about to sign with him, he told us he will be leaving Plush Living and will be joining Rhiss Interior. After the discussion with my wife, we decided to wait till he moved to the new company before signing up with him. Everything
Then the horror comes...
During some informal chat with my new neighbour who happens to know a few other IDs in Rhiss, she told us that Ben has resigned. Having heard that, we panicked and started to call & sms Ben, but there was no answer/reply despite many attempts. We then used an unknown number to call him, and he actually answered (Isn't that obvious that he was avoiding our calls & smses on purpose?!)! He said he has decided to resign and upgrade himself with some courses, and told us he has handover to his manager, Mr J. When we called Mr J, he said he wasn't aware about Ben's resignation and was not informed about our reno project at all. We then met up with Mr J and received a seperate quotation from him. We felt uncomfortable with such irresponsible and unstable company and decided to ask for 80% refund of the deposit. After some negotiations, we were given 50% refund.Ended all the drama with Rhiss, and we found and signed with ID No. 2 - Lee from North West Interior
As I was reading RenoTalk, I came across “Blue218” t-blog http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/61486-the-move-to-north-eastern-town/?hl=blue218#entry812623 and we like the design/concept, so I decided to call Lee up to arrange for a discussion.
1st meet-up : He is a humble man with a lot of creative ideas. What we like most is he has assured us that he does not repeat the designs, with the condition that we have to give him ample time to brainstorm for ideas.
2nd meet up : He brought us to see the workmanship in one of the completed projects. Workmanship is good and they use blum system and polygon material for carpentry. He gives us ideas and he can understand what type of feel and design we like and want for our house (as though he can read our minds!). After a few meet-up, we have decided to sign up with him. -
Hi there,
I'm engaging Master Tong for my fengshui audit too but he hasn't gone onsite yet. Still waiting for keys.
Just want to ask, how was the process like?
Are there many restrictions on layout etc?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Jiawen,
He will select an auspicios date to open the door for the 1st time,and he will be there to audit ur house and few days later he will send u the Feng Shui report of ur house.My advise to u,let him audit ur house before decide the design u want. We change almost all the design and layout cos of the house Feng Shui.

I had been reading T-blog and finally it's our turn to share our renovation journey with everyone here.
The story goes like this......
I don't know whether we are considered lucky or what, total number of unit 148 and our Q number was 149.....i was .....
After 3 years 2 months of waiting, we finally collected our keys on Christmas Eve '2013. The place where we called it Our Home and where we went almost every weekend for kite flying.
Today on Feb 28, 2014, our renovation finally kick-off! It was delayed for almost 2 months because of Chinese New Year and also because of the auspicious date given by Our FengShui advisor - Master David Tong.
Floor Plan
To be continous.......

Hi Oldskool, thanks for sharing! Btw, i am also sourcing around for a digital lock and so far Interlock is the cheapest i can find. Only problem is this...yes digital for the main door, but the gate ones look quite strange....so essentially we are still carrying around a key...i can't seem to find one of those key hides that look like a rock etc....thinking if i can find a decent one, can hide the padlock key into the herb rack along the corridor or something.
There one more local company supply digital also,they price even cheaper than other.can check out their website.
