  2. Hmm...have been procrastinating for a while to start this thread on our home. Finally decided to sit my a** down and start sharing our journey with you all. We are noob homeowners, so it is a learning process and hopefully what we share will be interesting and useful for you too. Do share with us too...especially those who are at the same stage as us, and those who had 'attained nirvana from this process Because I had procrastinated for so long before starting this thread, we had already finished on the early stages of confirming our ID...haha. One hand I am happy to get the ID confirmed and move on with the process, the other I don't suggest anyone to be like us. Despite reading so much from the 前辈s here about how to choose ID, we only applied maybe 20% of what we learned here and depended the rest on gut feel. Now, starting to worry and regret for acting so impulsively. Sigh~~ Time will tell, if our gut feel is reliable. So, in summary we contacted 6 IDs. Who did we get? 1. Space Sense We liked K****'s portfolio in industrial style so we sent him an enquiry. He replied to ask for our budget and requirements, then there was a long delay before he turned us down citing it is impossible to fulfil our requirements with our indicated budget. To be fair to us, we really do not know what would the cost for the intended renovation of our scale, so we mentioned an estimated of 35-40K hoping that our conversation can carry on and we can make more realistic adjustments to the budget. It is a pity that we were not given the chance to further our enquiry, or perhaps there was too much projects to handle for the ID firm. In another words, no fate with Space Sense. 2. BoxID Saw their work on an article from renotalk.com. Sent out an enquiry but no reply until a full month later. By then we are already in closing talks with the final ID so we did not proceed to meet up anymore. 3. Artist Room Read about them on renotalk, but no reply on our enquiry. 4. Three-D Conceptwerke One of their designer, Will, contacted us the next day after we sent our enquiry. Initially, I had my reservation because Will is not a local, and thought someone local will contact me since the firm is local. But not willing to discriminate, we proceeded to meet up with Will, who turn out to be quite an enthusiastic and friendly chap. It was easy to talk to him about the concept we are after, but we left the meeting feeling a little iffy if Will will understand what we really what and how he will propose the layout to accommodate what we want (will show below). But boy, we were pleasantly surprised by Will's proposed layout. It was interesting and quite similar to what we were thinking, only perhaps better. We were quite blown away. (And this is when our gut feel started to kick in over rationality...sigh). 5. New Nyew I really like New, and her hubby. We first visited New at her place, and both of them are very nice people. She spent 3 hours going through our floorplan and proposed her ideas right on the spot (even brought us to see her showroom in Yishun). She was also the only ID whom brought to site immediately following our first meeting to view our place, and she was the quickest with her response including the edits we requested to the initial proposed layout. Frankly, we were so closed to confirming with New had we not gone on to meet Will and saw his layout. I would still strongly recommend New to anyone who is looking for an ID 6. The Design Practice We found R****** from vincentinteriorblog.com. He was one of the recommended ID, and after viewing The Design Practice portfolio online, I found that he was the designer for a flat reno that I really like and bookmarked since the day we got out flat. Told myself my future flat can possibly look like that. Unfortunately, fate is not with us for R******. We waited long for his responses, and never get to fix down an appointment date. So, in the end, we decided to drop this enquiry as well. By now, you should have guessed it. Since our gut feel was so strong...we decided to go along with Will from Three-D Conceptwerke (TDC for short..lazy) Hmm....any renotalkers who had also used TDC before? Do share your feedback =)
  3. On the 14 Feb 2014 will be heading to HDB for my 1st appointment to purchase a HDB resale 3 rooms unit at Bedok North. The floor plan is as following: The whole unit need to be renovated and had been meeting up with IDs & contractors (yet to finish) and the estimated minimum amount is $28K. Each meet up require at least 2hours and repeating the same thing, but the good things about it is having different solution to the same issue. Please stay in tune for the next update.

  8. After going thru months of flat "hunting", finally found an unit which meet my ideal location except it is much older than me Reading lot of other's blogs their experience of sharing their new home. I will like to share my too . After 1st appointment with HDB The 1st thing I did was purchased the flat layout online. and try to think how shall I layout my toilet and kitchen with the limited area. At the same time, looking for contractors. In the end I got 3 contractors (1 from friends' recommendation, 1 from LEDs lightning's boss and 1 from Renotalk). While waiting for 2nd appointment, the only important things is to do "home appliances homework". There's always electrical appliances sales held at Expo ( 1-2 times quarterly or shopping mall). Expo is like my once in month hanging up place There's furniture fair, BHG/JL/Robinson/Metro Sale.... "SALE". 2nd appointment I had my 2nd appointment with HDB not long ago. Immediately, the next day after collected my keys collections I arranged to have my 3 shortlisted contractors to view my place, took measurement, told them what I have in mind for toilet, kitchen layout and my budget. And fast enough, they are able to provide me their details quotation next day. Having a tough decision who shall I select as all pricing, material they provided are very closed and all 3 are friendly people. In the end, I choose a lady contractor who got to know her thru' a LEDs lightning boss. Agreement signed! 1st deposit done... hacking next, more updates coming up. *PS: It is important to know your neighbour. They will help you to decide to have air-con install in the living room
  9. Hi there, I just got my keys to my resale flat and I have actually been getting renovation quotes and surfing the net for ideas and reviews. Has anyone used D'esprit Interior before? Out of all the quotes, theirs is the most affordable and within my budget but I can't seem to find any reviews on them.
  10. Hi Everyone, I chanced upon Renotalk when I was scouting to buy a flat and since then have been faithfully following the forum. I wasn't in a rush to move in and decided to take my time in looking for a ID/Contractor. Met up with the legendery Mr K and Alan and also contacted a few new start-up ID firms. Being a single female owner, it can be an overwhelming exercise. I was lucky to meet up with my current ID, Foo from Custombox, an earnest young man who is open to ideas and importantly patient with first-time home owners like me. So far the process has been smooth and I'm looking forward to the end result. I had a penchant for mid-century modern design with a bit of scandinavian influence. I love things with a bit of history but didn't want my home to look like a museum:) Right now, design plans are still fluid but with a few key ideas set. Will try to post up floorplan next.
  11. Hi everyone, I have been following Renotalk for some time and now being eligible to purchase a flat of my own, the time has come for me to make some contributions. After viewing more than 10 units, I finally found the place I would call home at Yishun. Although the COV was quite high for a 3 roomer, the location is excellent and the layout, clean and simple. My floor plan: Being a simple guy, here begins my simple Renovation Journey. More to come...

  13. Dear all I have been following renotalk for more than 2 years and finally it's my turn to write down my experience. In May this year, I saw a nice ad with full pictures of the unit on sale. Immediately I was attracted by the location, upkeep of the house, layout......everything. Decided to get it at second viewing and was even willing to extend 3 months after completion cos a unit like this is hard to come by. 6 months went past and finally started Reno on 14 Nov. Will write down my Reno journey from doing just the toilets and kitchen till now basically rip off everything (except the windows) and redo. From modern theme to Scandinavian to industrial. Before I start, I need to figure out how to post pictures. Can I post using ipad?

  15. We are new here going to take over the 1st resale flat in our lives, a 3NG flat at AMK. Plan to only change all windows, doors, toilet bowls and perhaps the wall paint. Since im not going to change the rest of the house, is it still advisable to look for a contractor? or just find my own windows supplier etc and ask them to install as well? First timer here so not very sure. Greatly appreciate all advise from everyone here. Concerned with both quality of work and budget here.
