Hi Benny,

Thanks for your advise.

Means your ID ask you went to choose lights and toilet accessories before give u 3D drawings?

i think our ID should be bring us to same shop, like tat i can expect should be wasting our time since you said the prices are too high compare to others. Had you choose your tiles already?

yup, we have chosen our tiles Picked some which are higher than the limit set in the quotation, so waiting for the cost of the revised tiling. we chose ours from balestier.

how about you? have u signed up with ideal design studio? who is ur id? has he brought u light shopping? haha. would be good if we could all share our experiences here

Hi Beanny,

Already signed up with them, our ID is shawn. Got 3D before choosing tiles. Is not as what we expected, quite disappointed coz the drawing and home layout proportion is not match.

Now we hope after choose tiles, revise 3D drawing will turn up better.

Hi Jayden,

Can you show us your new house pic? may i know who is your ID?

hi cbearai, where is ur place? is it a 4 or 5 roomer? we'll be meeting up our id later... hope can iron out and make changes to some details on the house design, then get the revised drawings... and hope things can really go smoothly. *cross fingers*

hope ur revised 3d drawings will turn out great too.... after all, all of us here r just hoping for our new places to turn out nice and to our liking after having placed our faith (& financials) with ideal design

Wow...I am in the midst of appointing Ideal Design....

But seems like the last few posts seems to mention they are not so pro in their perspective designs, and bringing customers to expensive lighting shops...?

Can more people comment on Ideal Design, regarding their perspective designs and bringing the customers to purchase lightings or other accessories?

Thanks

3d drawings wise..... it is done based on the ID's input and the in-house designer's visualization, so to be fair to ideal design, and all other ID firms out there, could variate from what we have in mind the first round thru... but after sitting down with the ID and going thru the choice of laminates/paint colours/concept, it should be more in line with what we want (cbearai, hope its the case for you, and for us!)

Oh so meaning, besides the ID, there is another in house designer helping with the design....?

fm what i understand, the ID who liases with us comes up with the layout and space planning, conceptualization of the theme, etc. only the 3d drawings are done by their in-house guys.

many other firms practice this too, so i guess its a common thing. 2 other firms which we approached initially also told us the same.

ur ID will go thru stuff with u, come up with the 3d drawings; if they aren't satisfactory, revise them... i guess @ the end of the day, it all boils down to the design, space planning and workmanship of the place.

for us, design and space planning stage has been satisfactory.

now we're waiting for the finalization of drawings based on the chosen colours, and some revisions here and there. once that's done....hopefully reno will be smooth, and the end result, great

just went to Ideal design studio yesterday . ID was shawn. (not much comments on him so far... any hse was renovated by him??

Our 1st impression is that his design and suggestions very practical/functional >> matches our them simple & clean cut + modern design

We told him our budget $35 to 30K with electrical + overhaul thingy..

he told us he can come up with some thing which matche our requirements

He even told us not to have feature wall for TV as it will incur a big cost (is it true??). He will think of some good designs

He also agreed to give us a perspective drawing + space layout of the tv wall + bring us to a few viewing of his projects next week .... (i wonder will he call us??)

So far, his service is the BEST!!! Helpful and quite happy to try to stick to our budget.

Our floor plan

Hi cbearai,

My new house has completed renovation works last week. So far the 3D drawings that Ideal Design have provided us, my wife & i are very pleased. Designs/Space planning & colour combination all well done up. I would suggest you to get your ID to help you amend on your 3D. Initially before commencement of my reno works, we also discuss with our ID about the theme that we liked, and get our drawings change twice.

hi jayden, workmanship and quality of materials used/laminates used OK?

possible to post some pics of ur place?

still have some nagging doubts on certain areas of the design, and so far not able to get a satisfactory response on some of the questions we have posed from them

just went to take a look at one of the "live" project of Ideal design (handled by Shawn).

workmanship is quite good and the carpentry are all quite excellent.

He is very frank about the design and the material used for our theme (clean cut + modern theme)

For me, i am quite cost orientated, so he will tell me certain materials/design that will achieve my theme but will not cost that much.

very honest and practical.... suite me =D

next week will be meeting him to see what 3D drawing (1 piece) , proposed layout and budget will he gaive us....

i hope it is within our budget + suites our demands >>> 30K inclusive of overhaul reno+ wardrobe + electrical

*pray pray*
