We r going to choose Lightning & Sanitary today with designer,any recommand along Balastier Rd.

hi mimi, who's ur ID? how is the theme of ur house?

tiles wise... seems pretty std shops most people go to - LSH, hafary... we chose our tiles from hafary - these was a nice guy who explained to us the different natures of the tiles, which would be easier to maintain, and his opinions on the diff combinations.

lightings and accessories - didn't end up buying from the one ID brought us to, as we thot prices were on the high side. took our own sweet time to walk around diff places, and ended up buying on our own.

guess ur ID will bring you to some shops - have a look around, compare the prices (some can vary quite a bit).

most shops sell almost the same designs

do let us know the outcome of ur shopping trip

hello, think it could be abit hard to compare the quotes like tt, cos of the different area sizes. can't comment much on carpentry, cos we didn't do much carpentry works - but i think if its the same coy, should be pretty standard.

our initial quote also had a 7ft wardrobe, i think its also about 1480, same as yours. ceiling works wise, depend on the area covered, i guess.

our false ceiling works cost 1500 in total for common areas, and 600 for MBR - but it wasn't really a false ceiling in MBR - more of two side boards.

hmm, but ur shower screen seems cheaper than ours... time to nag @ our fren

have u decided whether or not to go with them? btw, who is the guy who responded to u?

I am currently working with Shawn at Ideal Design, and am very happy with his knowledge and professionalism so far. No work done yet, so cant comment on the results, but the process of engaging has been pretty good. Strengths are in responsiveness, understanding of needs and responding with solutions that meet the needs. I am currently on a very tight budget, so Shawn has helped me figure out options to get my critical stuff done within the budget.

What could be better - carpentry costs seem on the high side to me. Also, it would be nicer if the ID spends a bit more time understanding the client's current setup/ furniture, color/ material preferences upfront, so the proposals are better match with the client's sensibilities. This is not just a comment on Shawn, but on *ALL* IDs I met. They just shoot off the same 'modern' design proposals in their favorite colors (usually black/ dark), even if the client's current setup is completely mismatching.

Will post more as the work progresses.

yes, u r right most of the ids propose a modern concept (even tho' we told them what we wanted); only after maybe 2/3 meetings, then then ideas n concepts slowly change.
