Hi,

No comment on Benedict cos my ID is James (althought I was hoping that Benedict would be the one initially). However, After meeting with James, he is very sincere and offers many cost saving techniques. Thus I dicided to engage him. So far, he is keeping to my expectation. Hacking for my house just started and I am very pleased that he is keeping to schedule.

wow that is a very nice place u have AhSiang! makes me wanna get EI! too bad the ID that i got my quote from is not zann.

Thanks meok. Wah you never read those ppl saying about zann mah? For me as long as she can deliver what I want and finish my reno on time without delay. I'm Happy liao. After tomolo me going to be busy cleaning our house lor because Zann going to hand-over my flat. So happy .

hmm didnt read the comments on zann. cos i wont be engaging EI. my budget is only 15K, minimal reno but too low for benedict cos he is seriously busy with lots of projects. i m just thinking whether zann takes on projects that are not so big scale. but i met up with benedict already so not so nice to look for another ID within the company.

mine also premium flat (atrina, next to you), i hope my flat can look as nice as yours!

enjoy ur flat!

Hi

I am new here. I was also looking for Zann but she said she is very tight up now (think her business very good leh). She referred me to her colleague Ben. I met up with him at the Eunos office and he seems a very honest and patient guy. Waiting for his quotation now. Anyone got any feedback on Ben ?

Bluesea,

My ID is Ben of EI. He is a very nice guy. Not pushy and is very helpful. He even brought me to buy lights and bathroom accessories. I am very impressed with his service. Highly recommended to you.

Sleeping91,

He came back to me ard 2 weeks after I first met u with him. Think you shd give him a call and check it out with him. Maybe he tried contacting you but to no avail ?

He brought me to one shop at Changi and another wan at Geylang. I settled with the wan at geylang. No hassle. Everything was arranged by Ben even for the delivery of accessories.

Hi Apple , just got my key last wk for my unit at Telok Kurau and the quote i recd is quite detailed, but may need to replace my kitchen & bathroom floor & wall tiles as i don't like the colours. I'm meeting Ben again next week at my new place & c whether he can propose some ideas. How is yr progress of yr hse ? I wld like to see some showflat before confirming any designer.

Can someone PM me Frankie and Benedict's contact? Thx

Ya , the quote which i got from EI is not cheap , but compare the 6 ID firms which i source , their quote is very detailed & they are not the pushy type . After changing my quote for 3 times & went to their showflat , will say that EI workmanships is good , my hubby & I are quite impressed . Did anybody use their spray paint PU kitchen cabinet doors before ? It is very expensive but the glossy surface is very nice & elegant , looks like my car metalic surface. I compare the kitchen cabinet quotes from EI & Kitchen specialist , EI quote is reasonable. Sometimes, i think it depends on whether you are comfortable with the ID. If you are not comfortable , shd source for another ID.
