    Actually those are laminates. They are like a "sticker" over the wood. The wood used for carpentry nowadays standard then they will let you choose different types and colour of laminates to match your house theme.

    Renovation to me quite enjoyable process because we do not rush and we simply do as and what we think we will use and like. Then talk to ID. Have some drawings on paper to see how you want it to be. After that everything else will slowly fall into place. Many fell into the trap of over paying renovation so work on your budget.

    If price is the top concern, recommend to do less carpentry and also purchase your stuff online like Amazon or taobao. Personally I prefer Amazon for the quality compared to Tb.

    Compare quotes based on per foot run on a few items so you will know that overall the price paid is lower. Some ID quote low on some but high on others to even off. I prefer all to be low hence that is how I chose this ID.

    I also prefer a higher "say-do" ratio then those that say and never do. So far this ID hasn't let me down and surprisingly some of our members here also signed him on. He doesn't have 3D drawing, last time olden days also no 3D drawing. Need or want? Just don't add to my cost. In other words, we are not building a castle, a house has only a few things to consider and do, a pen and paper will suffice.

    Of cause if bigger house it is required.

    Grohe, hansgrohe, original Kohler, pretty expensive. However, they are able to last a very long time. Many hotels use those brands such as the above mentioned and toto.

    Of cause there are mark up as well comparing the prices of Grohe in Europe, Amazon and Singapore. A Grohe shower system easily 1.2k. I have friends who went Europe to get it at a much cheaper price.

    I'm sure your house will look nice!!

    Very modern look! So we didn't get the dishdrawer in the end and will do it manually instead. Maybe for the next house we will re consider again.

    Will be great to let us know how it is for f&p drawers, some review will be most helpful. Thank you in advance. Also considering the cool drawer in future. Cabinet all in already and don't have any more space.

    Some updates on the living room and inspection of carpentry

    Our shoe cabinet - the design is okay, the top part generally cannot even reach unless we use a chair so need to probably put those less worn shoes up there.

    Last meeting with ID found out during carpentry work there is a small graze on the door about 2cm, they remove the door and replace the laminates. :good:

    Then for glass work, our display cabinet need to have a sliding glass in front, however the glass used was too heavy, they are going to change at no cost. :good:

    Purchase a handful of toilet accessories and they mount it at the most ideal location and those that they think does not make sense, will not mount it. They will ask if you still want to mount it. :good:

    So far our renovation progress has been very smooth sailing and everything was as close to plan as possible. Definitely put our mind at ease when the reno is on-going :good:

    When we hit a roadblock in decision, ID gave many suggestions just in case we make a poorly informed decision and there was no hidden cost or anything which i read in the forum to my horror. :deal:

    Painting was done quick and are very professional, they did not open the window when painting despite the heat of the day to prevent dust and dirt from flying and sticking onto the wall. :good:

    Up till now still very good and i don't really have anything negative. "Say-Do" ratio is really good. :jammin:
