Yah, agree. Thats very good $ to make loh. If $100, I still dont mind, $500 really alot. Unless their design is really superb that they are afraid that pple would copy. U are rich bro! :P

Summit - had our discussion, need some modification but my wife not so click with him. Also, i think his workload is going to increase due to recent happening.

Intra - ok, need some modi to manage cost. In our opinion, we just feel Summit is too far away from Intra in terms of engagement/design/ etc...:)

Thus, we like to look for alternative so that we can make a choice, and to avoid using similar idea/design as our last home.

I think Leslie would be busy, I intend to give them a call tomorrow. Sunday, give them rest....:)

Alas, for Inside Living, the owner has yet to agree for me to bring Inside Living to the house. Looks like I have to delay that to April then when the sales is completed. Sounds like I have to delay or give Inside a miss....

I hope CLC can do some estimation before the site visit....:)

Ic, thought u would prefer your prev ID from Intra. But probably true if u want to avoid similar design from your last home. Think u got to tell her in advance?

My last quote from Summit are very close to CLC although each offer different things and idea.

CLC uses only the floor plan to quote as they feel that the floor plan measurement are actually very close to site.

Anyway, they will have credit and debit note after the real site measurement. :yamseng:

Hi

Yep, she is aware but old habits die hard...lol.....she actually has done the perspectives already and there are some similarities still....

Lol. when i say way off , its basically the design/requirements.....we do not compare quotes, but rather we try to look at the proposed design, and if we like it, then determine whether the price quote is worth it.....something like this.....:0

i dropped an enquiry request via CLC website...lets hope some progress would be made tomorrow....

Thanks

Gee Thanks...appreciate it

nonono..:) :)...price is always the most important criteria....just that my experience with reno is typically bad until the last one...lol

1st one : 1st home. Contractor ran away, work half done and done badly. Sue him, got some money back. Funny thing is 1 year later. met him below my block doing reno....:)

2nd one : not bad, but since I do the design...looks ugly.

3rd one : Go for designer. Big ideas but not practical. End up door cannot close properly etc. ID shop closed down short while after reno., So no service

4th one : ID got sacked halfway, his boss say he do side business. His boss take over...but slow, bad workmanship.....then shop also closed down. Got to ask the contractor that did my 2nd one to help complete...pai seh pai seh...lol

5th/6th one : Intradesign - godsend...lol
