hi 123abc, seems like you did all the reno without using any ID? so you co-ordinate using contractor? i'm deciding if i should engage any ID. no offends, but like you mentioned, I feels that most IDs are not true IDs. they mainly copy ideas here and there. in fact some are even worst, they just design as per what I asked for. what's the differences between contractors and IDs then. Therefore I'm thinking maybe I can save quite a bit by not engaging IDs. However I am wondering if I engage my own contractors, any idea who do I go for to hack away my existing flooring and kitchen cabinets? As for the cleaning up or the hacking and HDB permits, any advise how to go ahead and do it?
