Hi sarah

can i know about Tau Id film... Iam getting my new house key at sengkang central... their carpentry works??? Local made?

thank you

Hi Care

Kelvin is really patient and easy-going. I only start paying only when the electric cabling and L-box is done. I offered to pay him the first installment instead of him asking from me, points added for tat

it was really tiring work when he brought us to select the tiles we want, as its the first time we are seeing so many different types of tiles, me and my hubby really got a headache. But he was very patient and told us not to worry and take our time, we can go back and think about it and he will bring us for the selection another day.

No regrets getting him to do up my place. In fact, I have recommended a few friends to him for their reno

if u already know wat you need then its better to get winson bcos he a very experienced contractor, if u need a designer's advice then u should get kelvin or gabriel. but dun worry thou the prices r the same.

I PMed u kelvin's hp, will get a faster response cause i understand hes quite busy n not always in office

Me jus finished reno with them, very very satisfied with their workmanship. Tau was definitely not the cheapest quote among the 7 quotes I had sourced. However, the thing is that there's no hidden cost. At least for the extra $ I paid, I get a peace of mind knowing that kelvin will not run off half way thru the renovations.

I personally choose kelvin 'cos i feel he's honest, responsible, not petty, easy to talk to. Even when my wishy washy S/O keep changing his mind (even to last min), hes still like can can, no problem. When you ask for 1st quotation, include everything, then when meet up with Kelvin, minus out whatever you dun need. This way u should get lower revised quotation & it's unreasonable for them to charge u more expensive(unless theres hidden cost)

it's not for me to say kelvin's the best or u must choose Tau interior. No contractor / id is perfect, even for Tau ma... Maybe u'll meet someone whom u'll feel is even better or more trustable to put your future home in his hand

Good luck and & God bless, aniways heres a little something on wat i had done

Yeah, i didn't mind going to Tampines to meet them since i'm staying at Eunos but my partners needed an agreement to go out that night. Thankfully, Kel and Gab were understanding.

I'm meeting Kel today to make some changes to the quote. Thinking of doing laminated flooring... Btw, do you guys think that it's cheaper to get an ID to construct a cabinet below my wash basin or shall i just buy a wash basin that comes with a cabinet?

Was tempted to do something like this - http://www.aos-bathroom.com/vama2/V-038.jpg .. but need to figure out the cost effectiveness.
