Yes, a new 4 room standard flat. I think the problem lies with the salesperson. I too heard quite a few good comments from friends but somehow I think I met the wrong salesperson. The quote they gave me was not the highest of all but it's exceed our budget as we did some estimated calculation for the exclusion of some items listed above.

Oic ... Then gd luck to you. Maybe you can check with your ID ...

We had meet up dennis last wk , he is a nice guy. Any feedback for his service??

I've currently engaged Ideal Interior Design to carry out renovation works for my house. I have read through the forums and saw that quite a number of users here had a very positive experience with this company.

However, my experience so far with the ID is a terrible one. So far, I have only been dealing with the ID and have not got in touch with any other IDs from the same company, so I can't comment on the company's ethics but as far as the ID is concerned - I wished I had engaged a direct contractor instead.

Has everyone had a positive experience with Ideal Interior Design? Do let me know your designer. I want to make a switch.

That's very true. The awkwardness of meeting the previous designer is just creepy.

Hi,

Can you share the name of your ID? I met 1 ID from Ideal recently & considering them.

Thanks.

Had their service last year,

1) Workmanship : 5/10

2) $$$$$$$$$$ : 5/10 (Not the cheapest)

3) After Sales : 1/10 (Had to call ID many times for warranty, reworks many times cant solve problem)

Better think twice.

ID : G..G..Y

Met Up With Jimmy the previous saturday & i'm sad to say that i am totally disappointed.

Throughout the entire meeting,he goes on & on about how good he is while showing me pictures from his ipad.

When i asked him regarding some reno works that i needed & whether they will infringe any HDB rules,he cant answer at all.

Aren't all IDs supposed to know the basic rules & guidelines from HDB?

Went to another ID from a nearby shop & he explained clearly what are the dos & don'ts of the reno works i needed.

Should i request for another for another ID to replace him or should i just drop them cause the previous posts seem to highly recommend them.

ID is just ID (Interior Designer), most of them are not PM (Project Manager) so they know nut about HDB rules, they only know design design design; they are just good at showing you 3D picts and hard sell how "good" they are. If they are that good, word of mouth advert should give him enough projects, there is no need to do hard sell. I'm sure that ID bring you to the customer's place of a ongoing project and able to answer your questions on the spot, you will be sold instantly. Otherwise everything is BS.

Some IDs are actually contractor themselves and maybe boss of the company, they started in this industry as contractor and later went through some short courses on interior design, do some nice nice 3D drawing and they start charging ID fee. This group cant tell you the diff between contemporary and minimalist. Most people will like them cos they are good at calculating fee and you will buy it when they help you save money on reno.

hi all, got my new house renovated by a responsible ID . he name is Leon h/p: 96139319 . He prices quite reasonable after comparing. no harm getting more quotes to help us save $$. cheers. Good luck.
