Hi, I have signed up with Absolook. But I would like to know if you guys able to get your Absolook ID to install your accessories FOC for you? Mine would charge every single items. He would't even install door bell, towel rack and toilet roll holder for free!

Hi angielim, PM you Benedict's # a minute ago..

More than 1 month ago, we were looking for an ID. After reading so many good comments on Kelvin from GPlan, I had asked for his contact number. Here's some updates on my search for an ID. Right after I got Kelvin's number, I gave him a call. I was lucky, he picked up the phone, as I understand that he was a busy man. He rejected us out right, but I asked him to meet up with us first then see how. So, he agreed. So, we met and immediately, we know we have rapport. Even went to our new house to take a look..etc.. After that, he said that he was very interested in doing this job, and said that he would give us a quotation. While waiting, we decided to also contact another ID who has also been receiving very good comments and feedback from home owners in this renotalk forum too. He's Benedict from Earnest Interior. So, same thing, we called him, and he rejected us out right because of busy schedule. He was going to recommend his colleage Jonathan who also had a lot of good comments from forumers. But we thick skin again, and asked Benedict to meet us first and then see how. Same thing, we also have very good rapport with Benedict. One difference though is, Benedict listens to our ideas and make a number of very good suggestions. So, after 2-3 hours of talking to Benedict, he said he'll also give us the quotation. After meeting the 2 well recommended IDs, all we could do was to wait for quotations. Finally, it was due date for Kelvin to send us the quotation. But unfortunately, we did not hear from him. So, got to call him a few times just to remind him after the due date. He said he sent liao, and said he'll double check. After a few more days, still no news. Called him again, he said he sent liao.. and said got problems with his laptop...bla bla bla.. Finally, we offered to go to his office to get the quotation. So, we drove all the way there to get it from him. Good news, we had the quotation. But we were left with it to try to understand it. Then comes the time for Benedict to send us the quotation. He was right on schedule. Though he was also very busy, he set a meeting time with us to go through the quotation line by line!! And along the way, shared with us briefly what he has in mind for the house. We exchanged ideas, and Benedict promised us to give us a revised quotation. Once again, Benedict was right on schedule in providing us the revised quotation. And we go through the amended items line by line. Then we need the 3rd quotation after more discussions on the design. In all, we spent at least 8 hours with Benedict to discuss our requirements, the quotation, the design..etc.. And we haven't even signed contract with him. On the other hand, we only spent less than 2 hours with Kelvin. 4 days after we had quotation from Kelvin, he called us instead. :-) He asked us for feedback on the quotation and said that he has time for us now. We managed to push the decision to 2 days later. And this time, Kelvin call us right on time 2 days later. Finally, the decision time comes. We thought that since we've already spent alot of time with Benedict and Benedict has also spent alot of time with us, and that Benedict has really given us a lot of very good suggestions to help us save cost and yet about to make it a hotel-like house, we decided to have Benedict to be our ID. Hurray! Hurray! Finally, we are moving on.

The office at Beach Road is at The Furniture Mall, #03-02. By the way, it's our first time to The Furniture Mall. So, we walked around almost all the furniture shops there. Could sense the competition is very high there. Somehow, the shops like to badmouth each other. They also like to pressure you to place orders immediately. We were just window shopping for sofa. This particular shop told us to place order on the sofa we like first. And then tell our designer to draw up the design to match our furniture. It didn't make sense to me. Then later, he said order now. Can change later.. Well, as you can imagine... we ran out of that shop pretty quickly. After an hour or so, we "accidentally" pass by that shop again. The staff there try to pull us in again. By then, we were really scared. They gave me the impression that they are very desperate. Actually, this happens to a number of shops. One shop even tell us the story that Goh Chok Tong bought a queen size bed from him for his maid. Don't know true or not. Is IMM the same?

Ya.. interested to know about Home Success ID too. Any recommendation on the ID there? How's their service and the workmanship? Thanks!

Ya lor.. don't know what happened to all the Benedict fan. :-) Thanks for your id's contact info.. maybe try him and see how. He's very good too, right? With lots of good and new ideas, right?

Thanks Hasibee. Yeah.. it's a new home located at East Coast. Haven't got my keys yet, but will get them on 29 March!! Am counting down! I just called Kelvin. He said he super busy but in the end, we agreed to arrange to meet up next weekend. He'll also sms me his email for me to send him my floor plan and some pictures of my new home-to-be first.
