It is their company policy but it can be flexible if you negotitate with the ID. We were not comfortable in paying so much up front so negotiated.

I also want to share a bit about my bad experience w Glady.

Without going into the details, in short i will not engage ID services. Scared liao.

- Poor project management, on actualy day of carpentry, expect us to be there when she wasn't there.

- Poor communication with carpenter

- No design sense expect us to accept standard practices and not cater to individual house structure and needs.

- Carpenter attitude problem, buay song we ask them to rectify, but in the end they have to else we are not paying!

In short, the whole process was like we are the project managers communicating with the carpenters, ID is just there to collect money , chase payment and close the project. Might as well we ourselves be ID! Just my luck to get Glady!

Sorry to hear about that. Wonder if can feedback to their boss about it ?

hi sharpion,

good day to you bro!!

we've been really really buzy with many things nowsaday all for our new nest....ever since the carpentry is up, near completion and handing over (maybe in a week or so). all i can say that we are VERY VERY VERY pleased with the workmanship (A+++) and unexpected design touches to some areas. current status is touch-up n touch-up period. dave have been very responsive to all aspect during the work process. he has also been helping us in sourcing for the correct materials and giving ideas in making our new nest to the best he can. he would often ask (us) "u all like the design or not" from time to time, which i personnally think that it is a very good way in understanding the client's needs. we learnt to understand him more thru lots of conversations that in order to get our job done, he had in fact go the extra miles (regardless of scolding or demanding from his suppliers) to give us things that we need for our home.

i do hope we share the same feeling about this man who make us what we call a "quality designed home".

every penny is really worth the spending. cheers to all INTRA fans out there..

Hopefully, she sees this and work even harder for me :dunno:8|

There's no reno without any issue, most important is they are willingly to resolve and see to it.
