Started this quite late but got inspired by a neighbour so here goesss.......... November 2011, my then fiance, now hubby, was waiting anxiously for HDB to release new flats and due to his foresight, Punggol and Hougang would be a good estate. It is still 'empty' now and not as crowded as mature estate, its accessible and in the near future, it would be a booming estate where property value would go up. Especially for Punggol So when the new releases came out, HDB released both Punggol and Hougang but after seeing the location of Punggol's BTO and seeing the waterway, WE'RE SOLD! It is so near the mrt, it has the waterway as a view and its so near the new big shopping mall thy're building (Watetown) which is the same size or bigger than Vivo City. So of course, duh punggol waterway! With the new road opening up to Seletar, his drive to work from home would be 10 minutes or less, what a good life for him! So on January 16 - We collected our keys! Above: We were so happy that we chose a corner house! All that big space! We're already coming up with crazy ideas on how to make outside look awesome! Above: The living room. Sorry quite small! Above: Our Walkway Our kitchen and very tiny masterbedroom

I recently approach an ID at Soon Wing Building (Its the only one). Paid deposit to start work on renovation, however i could not contact them now. Do you guys have any experience with this ID. Do share more. Thanks.

This will include changing of the tiles/wall/bay windows 2. 2nd bathroom - Reno 3. Change of bedroom doors (including doorframe, there are 3 doors) 4. Hacking of low wall between kitchen & clothes drying area 5. Painting of whole house Can anybody recommend me a good contractor or ID for the job? I have a tight budget for the above.

I bought a resale flat in Yishun early Feb 2013 and key collected in April 2013. Now my flat renovation is about half way through so I just want to share my experience about the renovation. As I have no experience in renovation, I started browsing through the megazine and found that they give free consultation on space planning so I decided to fax my floor plan to 1 of the magazines. The second thing I did was to google and found Reno talk website.I find the forum quite informative at least to me as a green horn in renovation. . A few days later, id firms started to contact me and arranging for meetings. I've arranged meeting id firms from: Ubi, Balestier, Joo Chiat, Tannery Lane and Kallang. The procedure for the meet ups are quite similar, questions they will ask : What concept you hv in mind for yr flat, budget, any special requirement ....... My ideal reno concept is Modern Resort and my budget is 50k because the flat I bought is a resale flat and is from JTC (they rented out the unit) so condition is very bad, I basically hv to redo the whole flat. I received the proposal and quotes from the id firms and started checking out the forums regards to the 5 id firms. After much consideration I've shortlisted 2 id firms : from Balestier and Tanney Lane and I went down for 2nd meet up. -- During the second meet up the id firm at Balestier promise to add in alot of additional stuff (full height mirror, vanity top.....) and want me to sign the contract on the spot. (Strange thing is during our 1st and 2nd meet up , when we are in discussion in their office cum showroom there is a guy lying at the sofa starring and listen to our conversation?????) -- The second meet up at Tannery Lane, ID go through and explain the quotation item by item and if necessary he will give me suggestion to keep the cost to my budget. He even ask me to go back, digest the quotation and he will follow up with me in a later date. So guest what? I chose the id from Tanney Lane, they are not the cheapest but they are more transparent and their image of company is so far the best of all 5 id firm. Well, now got to wait to verify their service and workmenship. I will update in a later date!! That's for now, I am willing to upload the 3D drawing if there is any request ya!

Hi guys, I just received a quote from an ID and the carpentry price seems high compared to the other quotes shared here. Does anyone have any input?

Today is considered the first week of renovation. ID said they will start hacking the floor.

Recently we moved into new BTO flat. It was our first renovation. We had looked at about 5 renovation quotations before settling for ID Marcus of Renzz. He's fast and efficient with our queries and questions. His pro-active attitude won us over. Initially we had frustrating problem with bank loans but he was really nice about it, we really appreciate his understanding. Throughout the whole renovation progress, we would say it's a good experience, he would update us frequently through watsapp or email (even late at night!). Good thing is he did not hard sell any furnishings or products. We bought own lightings, sinks etc. and he installed for us. Our home concept is basic and simple but could see that Marcus put in effort for our simple job. We also needed to move in urgently which he managed to rush deadline for us. Overall good job with living room mirror, bedroom wardrobes, kitchen cabinet (except a small hiccup with drawer panel), shoe cabinet (another small hiccup due to miscommunication on ventilation holes) and vanity cabinet. We had to point out these small hiccups so others will know we are not fake new flat owners advertising for Renzz. Another thing, Marcus also provide after sale service which we think is a sincere deal from an ID.

Hi, would love to know if anyone engage y-axis interior. their basic pkg for new 4rm premium flat is $11800 with free gift of system 3 daikin aircon, soft closure for all cabinets & drawers, and free hood,hob & sink. is it too cheap to be good? any tips on how to see if their workmanship is good? cos currently their company is under reno thus cant really see their showroom. tried finding reviews on their company online but dunt even have one. thus would appreciate if any of you can kindly advise. thanks!

Hi all, I am going to collect my keys to my place next year and have started to look for ID for preparation of my flat. Mine is a 4 room BTO which I have opted for flooring and doors to be done. So far I have went to about 4 IDs, some are too expensive and some way too cheap. I even have 1 quotation from an ID for whole house renovation, including changing of kitchen table top from solid surface to quartz, having a full length mirror at dinning, false ceiling for whole house (except 2 bedrooms) and making dinning bench all for $11,888. As a newbie, I would like any advise on how much a rough 4 room BTO renovation would cost and any recommendation so that I can have a better idea. Thank you!

it's supposed to be a startup... id with contractor prices... anyone has experience with them before ? i notice that their portolio has some similarities with other design firm...affiliated, probably?

Looking for help. We are unhappy with ID. After signing contract never gave design. Only gave one pathetic design for masterbed wardrobe 3 weeks after signing contract. We finally designed our wardrobes ourselves. Gave ID our design. She input in autocad and print out. At-least hope price is not too bad. ID quote us 1) For masterbed wardrobe 2300 $ for 8 feet using lamitak, with 2 sliding door, and one casement door. 2) For one bedroom, 1750 $ for 7 feet using lamitak but only casement doors (no sliding door). 3) For another bedroom, 2100 $ for 7 feet using lamitak, only casement door. So for casement door wardrobe price is 250 $ per foot for one bedroom and 300 $ per for another bedroom For sliding door wardrobe price is 341.6 $ per foot. We understand IDs take 25% to 30% of price quoted. Because they give design service. But in this case we have to design ourselves. Anybody sign reno package recently? How much they quote for custom build wardrobe using laminate for sliding door and casement door? Is the price right? Thanks.

Hi ALL, Designing your dream house is fun. But why make it sound so stressful? Why do defects happen? I hope my post does not offend anyone who is still pursuing his or her ideal place. We do not mean harm and we sincerely offers our advance apologies if we upset anyone. We can tell you our perspectives and i shall name IDs as DESIGNERS [cause we can all design, and YES we can] and contractors as BUILDERS [cause they simply build according to our visions] Homeowners often approaches designers like us who has a lot of "rough" ideas and tend to express their own creativities. Or rather trying to speak to contractors who may appear to look like they know a lot but actually they do have limitation to your creative makings. Down the road, you would experience miscommunications and at times, the renovation works tend to go unsmooth and defects starts to surface. And by human nature, contractors and IDs are the ones who take the blames. I hate to say the harsh truth. Homeowners should also admit their faults too. Let’s decipher down to bits of knowing your professionals A lot of posts tackle one common issue? Which IDs are good and which are not good? The truth is, everyone is GOOD. They are players with their own styles. And each has its own design flairs. i do not think it is fair to judge them based on their faults at work, and also those slight delays that incurred. Homeowners must understand that each clientele’s project is different and it’s never a “one size fit all” policy. Each houses designed and built has its own problems. Some problems may be due to budget allocations set by each homeowners, and/or the different configurations of a house; layouts. [Even though HDB flats all look the same to you. But in the eye of designers, they are not quite the same]. Homeowners should listen to professional players in the industry, cause they know a lot more than you do, which is why the whole idea of engaging designers. Always listen to the professionals. When they say your design can’t be feasible, so be it. Designers are always there to help you solve your mental blockages. Designers are there to have fun with you. No one in this industry should be judged by his or her own faults or miscommunications. Just picture this, everyone always have a bad day at his or her workplaces or homes. For IDs and contractors, it is perhaps one of the bad days that do not go smoothly. And the one comment from your forum posts could accumulate to them losing their confidences in the field. You may also find that designers behave like salesman. Here’s the thing: you make us do that! And then we behave like one! [Lol] Home owners always approaches me and my design partners one common favor, “ show me your portfolio and your past projects, and also how much you offering for your services and we discuss if we want to engage u” Professional designers will never reply to your questions like these. We will feel offended, seriously. In my case, how do I react to the favor: “Show me your floor plan layout and then Let's have fun designing ” [And we then smile with joy J] and also that is how my design partners reacts too. We draw ideas on first meetings. We stitched your ideas and trying to see if we can help to combine your interests. Of course if we are reliable enough, we propose our design intent and our inputs to your months of troubleshooting and also your months of researching tons of ID websites and design platforms. And if you don’t like our design, there are always others out there who can accommodate your requests. A master architect once spoke: “Architects are pretty much high-class whores. We can turn down projects the way they can turn down some clients, but we've both got to say yes to someone if we want to stay in business.” And we admit we are your whores and I always told my partners and friends in the industry, “Designing an interior is like experiencing a fling with a random girl next door, it ended a short while and it is fun!” Stop being so stressed and lets have fun together. No worries. Problems are always there but with common understandings, we can overcome. When talking to builders, be confident that you know your own stuffs. Many of my clients approach me to say they have their own builders. That is good news for us but worrying at the same time. Can you both talk the same frequencies? Engage your own builders if you really know your stuffs, seriously. If you are not confident, leave it to designers to do the talking. We would like to encourage homeowners to have fun! Cause to me, designing is fun! Don’t make things complicated, even though it is much to our human nature. We will hopefully be back in the second part of this post... ... Your sincerely, EGWA

Hi All, I'm getting my new hdb home 4room latest by June 2014 I guess... Will like to seek opinions & source for renovation quotation from you guys as well.. Like to know: 1) is it a must to use ID for renovating? looking for reliable & responsible contractors as well... 2) if no ID, is there any good contractor out there that does almost same work scope as the ID? 3) walk-in wardrobe in the bedroom is a must from my partner... looking to spend around $20k, will it be enough...? 4) already opted for flooring & doors done by HDB which I think may be a mistake to do that on my part but already done.... 5) need help from you guys to recommend me reliable IDs & Contractors for these... 6) please leave contact or website if any as well.. Please post your comments or pm me if u like. Thank you very much...

Hi there everyone, my dad just told me that we can get cheaper price if we outsource separate companies rather that taking an id to do the whole unit. He said that for vinyl flooring, doors and grilles,false ceiling go direct to the company for quotation is much cheaper and its true. i Asked several companies for vinyl flooring and all quoted around 3800. Whereby id/contactor quote me 4454 to almost 5K. As for kitchen cabinet and tiles overlay for toilet & kitchen can ask contractor and id to do. I know it seems a lil trouble but at least can save up a bit. Has anybody done their home this way?? Any vinyl companies to recommend? Any doors company to recommend? And any id to recommend for my kitchen and toilet? Thank you!
