Glad to find this place and pls allow me to also share our experiences with Alvin.
Alvin was strongly recommended to me by a family friend of mine, giving credits that Alvin is responsive, honorable to his works etc, by then I had in fact gone through a few IDs already with ideas here and there. Thinking no harm to meet another ID to give it a try, but soon after met Alvin I realized he is very different from other IDs, Alvin looks at the project as a whole from not only designing point of view but also from actual renovation site works point of view.
Not like other ID engineers working for a firm who just lead your through designing stage but the actual reno works pretty much on the hands of the site guys, on which situation we might often find that we ourselves sometimes have to play some role to do site check, feedback and calling back the ID for certain following up.
But clearly Alvin is not the same case, we are very impressed not only by his extensive and comprehensive ideas, knowledge and experiences in designing the house with an “overall picture” mindset from space planning, coloring mix to even furniture selections, but also we are very impressed by his knowledge with actual site project basically worry free for us as to e.g electrical works, air con piping run etc, he had all these layout in mind since the designing stage so that when came to actual works, layout had been optimized to maximize space use (e.g wardrobes designed with no sharp edges so that no much view blocked) and beautify the looks (e.g air con pipes run is hidden with no cross over).
One more point I would like to share is that Alvin has a strong and experienced project team, can see throughout the works that Alvin’s team had been working with him over the years so that with the harmony & bonding, the team can carry out the works precisely to fulfill the designing concept with qualify and efficiency, thanks to that we are the very first batch to move in the Bidadari new town, as so our house becomes a showcase at the area, LOL…
One last point to share is that after the project, even though starting as ID of our house, but eventually Alvin has become our friend, basically every small thing if we might need help, he always attends to it even though is out of his work scope.
Just to share a pic of our house now, we like and enjoy the coziness and atmosphere created.
