  2. Hi!!! Anyone has good recommendations for contractors? I’m planning to do some minor renovations for 4 room bto. Please share with me here cos girl needs some help for the first time 🤗 Thank you!!!
  3. My wife and I visited a long list of ID before we agreed for the renovation of our new home. This could be attributed to not only the quality and affordability offered to us but also the meticulous manner their staff, Ms. Selina, did her work. From the start, She was very professional and very accommodating to our ideas and suggested quality advice to match our ideas to our budget. She kept to her schedules without fail. Everyday updated me with what was taken place. I can say that renovation cannot just simply look at cost comparison because price somehow does dictate the quality of materials and workmanship. She was able to communicate and translate our ideas well to put into the design she had for us. She was ever-ready to advice us on the pros & cons of our ideas instead of outright dismissing our ideas regardless how extreme it might sound. And Selina was always patient to our ever-changing ideas and fickle mindedness in our decisions even to the simplest choice of paint colors. I must say Selina did a great job for our place to make our new haven be a beautiful yet simple abode that we always feel comfortable to come home. Ultimately, we felt safe and assured throughout the whole process. I will engage her services again if I ever need another reno in the future. Thanks Selina & Co. Pm me for her contact or email me at s0165793125@gmail.com

  6. Have just finished my home reno works recently, mine is a 5room resale. However before tht I have been spending about 3 months looking for ID with lowest quote and all. I happened to came across this ID Belle during a event at gain city. So we had a small discussion and she asked for my number to follow up with me. Infact I have forgotten to reply her for about a week as I was really busy with work. But she was really patience, a few ID that I have met didn't even bother to follow up with me. When I tell her about my requirements, she was v honest, she told me what is necessary to do and what is not. Honestly her quote wasn't the lowest one but during the discussion I felt that she was able to understand what I want, and it allows me to have a better understanding on which area to spent on. And for the v least she is v responsive. I was really comfortable with her and decided to go with her as my ID after doing some research on interior times. Everything went well during the reno, there are some Minor issues but Belle is v efficient with handling and getting back to me with either a solution or alternative, I really appreciate the hard work she have put in. Overall I'm glad that to have her as my ID, as there is no renovation night mare for me hahah.

  8. I just bought a hitachi fridge a couple months back and recently the hinges of its inside shelf plastic cover broke off due to an inherent design flaw. While the fridge is under warranty the cover is not covered as it is categorised as an "accessory". I was very frustrated as this was not openly communicated to me before I bought the fridge. And now I have to pay for something that was not badly designed/manufactured, not explicitly communicated to consumers, and no ownership by the principal Hitachi. Utmost disappointing experience from a Japanese big-name manufacturer. Buyers beware. Safe yourself the hassle - shop for other more dependable and customer-centric brands - there are many out there.

  14. Hi everybody I know almost all HDB flats have the common features that common toilet/bathroom often shares the same space as the kitchen/dining area. Instead of having the dining table in the living room, I still want to have the table in the kitchen but the thing could be quite awkward especially when you have the toilet right nearby. And it would be even more unpleasant when your Friend uses the toilet and you could hear them calling their natures. So I’m thinking of installing fake movable wall or I don’t know that you don’t even know that there is a toilet or you don’t even feel that the toilet is actually there. Any thoughts?
  15. Dear all, I wpuld appreciate if any good men or womrn share their rxperience with me on the mention company. They seem very sincere and easy to communicate. But I would like to know on your experiencez and how u feel on the quality of work done.
  16. Dear home owner, After doing my research online for some time, I noticed that the description is about the same. Things that they provided about the same. Those post online - 4299(all in kitchen package) / 3988(all in package) die die want to close me on the spot. Keep doing hard sales makes me walk away more. Until one day, I walked pass this ID firm at Ubi. The lady designer showed me this package and email me after I left. When I walk in, the drinks was served. I felt like I had returned home. I asked for any package and was presented this, by far this is the cheapest with everything I needed. I dont like the base in concrete, I dont need to do washing at kitchen. i do not cook at all. All i need is a sleek look for my kitchen. When I asked if I could install 15ft bottom / 5ft top to make it 20ft. They are able to provide and at a lower cost They rest die die need 10/10 I am happy with the service face to face. exp - Good! She understand her work very well. Explained the schedule & material used. CS- Superb, very friendly & nice. will definitely recommend to family / friends.
  17. S FYI You will never see any negative reviews on their fb page cos they have moderated it as such.

  21. 3D Innovations (Sin Ming Branch) Designer’s Name: Allan Chee (self titled $2M award winning ID man) Date of Renovation: Aug 2017 Designer We paid 50% of the total reno cost to get work started. The promised 3D drawings was delayed more than a week. When eventually it arrived, the drawing was totally out of dimension, distorted and simply ugly. I believed the images- copied and pasted from other projects. Allan blamed his draftsman whom he claims was sacked. Demolition work already started and we had to proceed with out any design. Service Allan Chee, was always late for appointment. And even if he turns up – he was always on the phone, chatting. I was overseeing the project more than him. We had to update Allan on the progress/mistakes of the renovation. Mistakes and workmanship § Tiling workmanship is good but made many mistakes because ID Allan Chee did not give proper instructions. He was never at the work site and rely on the sub con to feed back on dimensions. Two of my bedroom door frames were wrongly dismantled and when pointed out to Allan, he replaced them with a shorter frame. We had to re-redo the door frames again. Tiling at both bathroom redo several times due to no proper instructions. Infact, we were coordinating with the tiler directly § Plumber laid the pipes wrongly. No provision for pipings for Storage Heater. Had to hack off some tiles to relay the pipes again. Conclusion We spoke to his team leader on many occasions. When he did not even turn up for the final meeting, that we approached 3D’ management to terminate the contract. His team leader Denn Lim took over and complete the outstanding renovations as we cancelled the electrical and woodworks. Denn did a marvellous job and show much responsibility which Allan Chee has none. Opinion on Designer (Allan Chee) Allan Chee, inigtially, strikes out to be a nice and smooth talker. During initial discussion, he was able to get quotations within 10-15mins. He showed many images of projects (I doubt it is his projects, maybe copied from other projects). Claiming to be an award winning designer. Immediately after the deposit paid, Allan showed his true character. Arrogant, boastful, irresponsible, showoff and most of all, he is not knowledgeable and is not able to follow through the renovations. I doubt his qualification.

  25. We had spend approximately 4 month to complete the entire house renovation. And alot of unpleasant stuff happens and we encounter many of unhappy issue. Hence, we have wrote the email to the management. Below is the email we sent. Problem 1: Delayed handover - Entire projects have been delay due, from first met the ID told us might complete end of the Feb based on the renovation plan. - After CNY,(1st Feb 2017) we was deliberately ask him for the completion date as we need to move in for good date(Some Chinese believe), and the ID told us that’s is a chances to move in without making effort to make it happens(never see his plan or action to expedite it). Only after we double and double confirm with the ID then told us not possible to complete as the carpentry work at least need 2-3weeks. - But at first before we met the carpentry contractor, we already questioning the ID why cant we met before CNY, so that we can speed up the whole process.. but the ID told us can only met after CNY(but there a week before CNY, just wonder why we cant met and discuss first as the meeting confirm more than once) because all the carpenter worker is going Malaysia holidays… - The ID only inform us after we met carpenter that the carpentry can only ready after another 3 weeks….which causing us a lot of problem for this delay as we was planned to move in early of March as we still need to pay the rental fee if we delay until March(at the end we have to paid extra 1.5 month rental fee)… and the good date we choose is also over due to this delay. Problem 2: Poor project management - The ID have never show up onsite frequently to supervise the worker onsite.(but i see your fb is telling everyone that your ID is proactive and will update the progress to the owner very constantly) Maybe less than 10 time onsite for overall projects with 4 month projects. - Not update or feedback to us on the project schedule or progress. We need to chase the ID every day for the update or project progress.Because of that, we have to go onsite to check and see the work quality.(and we catch plenty of problem, just imagine we are not onsite and only check after a week). - Due to lack of supervise, the ID not even know the worker mistake onsite. Like for example….our floor material is wrongly choose, Kitchen wall tiles size is wrong, painting is wrong for many places like our kitchen yard piling, main gate door, door frame color wrong, and so on. - Carpentry worker mistake like our kitchen and shoe cabinet strike light is not install property(very ugly but no choice we have to accept it) due to communication issue. We have no choice but have to accept the mistake as the ID not even supervise and delivery the correct message to them as a designer. (many of time he only deliver the msg via phone...) - One of our bedroom platform have to redo 3 time only match with our design.(the platform is totally different from our requirement, and very big different from the 3D drawing also. Every time we insist to redo the platform, but he trying to smoke us and convince us to avoid the redo troublesome work....) - We have emphasis a few time about the flooring covering to protect our floor from scratch. In fact, we need to cover it by ourselves(at least tell him 5 time from first our meet up until final touch up). Our kitchen and living room floor is scratch and very obvious reflection when we turn on the down light. - Never see any proactive action plan: like for example the gas installation, the ID only notice us when we questioning him. He never ever take his initial to arrange or at least inform us as we are the first time owner who doing the kitchen renovation. Just imagine the carpenter cannot install the kitchen cabinet because of the gas installer haven't come? He only arrange it after we question when is the gas installation come..... Problem 3: Onsite worker behavior - Worker are smoking in the house, common toilet very dirty and smelly, and trash is everywhere in the house not even bother to take down to the dumpster at the end of the day. - Painter Worker are rude to us when we are requesting to cover up the hole on the wall. Never put the painter tools properly and just left at outside of our house, we need to shift the tools and paint ourselves. - Floor washing worker trying to be rude to us when we are standing inside the house, they trying to pour the water to chase us go out. And shout at us for the windows key, and questioning us why we arrange on weekend as they need to rush to finish the work, and work is not completed properly as after they left we need to clean it by ourselves and the all the windows is not even clean properly, wasted our time whole day just to clean it all. - After the washing worker cleaning the floor, and just dump the all the rubbish outside of our house, this causing us a complaint from our neighbour. All of this supposed to well communicate by ID not us. Problem 4: Unsatisfactory workmanship - Our main door is faulty after the floor hacking. Toilet walls is crack and after that become our issue when we request the ID to touch up, he said not their issue as it at toilet outdoor, but obviously it happen only after the toilet hacking. - Master bath room water not as good as before compare to the first installation. - Store room door is keep on popping out, we have to press it there and hold for 20min to make it flat ourselves every 2 days. (We have requested to touch up and door replaced, we only move in less than 2 weeks) - Both common and master bath room lower cabinet is not install with the cover at the back, it seem like a big hole behind the cabinet. (been told its normal, but its very ugly and seem like jerry-build偷工减料。 - The toilet touch up worker is not done properly as we need to double check and stop them back to redo for the touch up. (the supervise or communication not suppose to handle by us, but then we have to handle and face it ourselves..) The both toilet cabinet table top quality is very lousy as we only use water to clean, and it look like pole and white....we only stay less than 2 week.) - Painter are not even bother to taking care our floor, and door frame. After the painter left, we have to clean the floor ourselves and the door frame is so ugly after the final painting. ( we spend money ourself to repaint our bedroom door and doorframe after that.) Problem 5: Hidden cost - Charges us for our 神台 that mirror glass. The glass mirror is FOC at first when he first met us.(We insist to waive it) - Intend to charge us $280 per inch instead of $240 for cabinet. ( initial quotation is offering us $240, but told us material cost increase $280) (We insist to remain the same cost at first quote) - Charges us for our false ceiling curves and telling us its different cost for the design. The initial quotation is not cover all, although the quotation stated 'cover all". - Kitchen and toilet piping cost incurred, the ID told us charge by a piping connection…..but the initial contract is stated including “all water piping”. But still charges us for the hot water piping cost us $500 per piping. (We insist to waive all the additional piping cost, only allow him to charge us $500 for the hot water pipe) - Charges us for the walking wardrobe sliding door. Telling us because of the mirror causing cost. (FOC at first when we ask him, and we insist to waive it.) - Charges us for store room tip-top door about $900 per door instead of per inch. Ended up we cancel as the cost is unreasonable.(He said tip top door is more expensive, but we found out that the actual cost for tip top just a few dollar per piece maybe).. - 3D drawing is chargeable after 10 pieces of design, never ever mentioned this during the meeting.(I think that is the reason why he keep on dragging us for our request 3D drawing, we chase him for 2-3weeks for our cabinet 3D drawing.)
