Through my ID, I have visited a large carpentry contractor called My ID Factory with a 15,000 ft large factory at 10 Sungei Kadut St 2. This factory is like no other carpentry factory in Singapore and will interested anyone doing carpentry or looking for carpentry.

They make good quality furniture at local prices using large CNC German machines and specialized CAD-CAM fully integrated software to design and manufacture your cabinets. Their factory is Singapore's first European standard carpentry factory and the only one it's kind in Singapore, unlike other small carpentry factories which use simple hand table saws, making their cabinets by hand. Hand made quality differs from carpenter to carpenter and depending on their moods of the day. This factory have a huge stock of laminates and hardware in their factory; do all their ABS edging and laminating in-house, unlike most other carpenters who outsource; doing routing in-house with their Homag German CNC router; all their drawers bases are grooved and slotted with 5.2 mm laminate plywood (not PVC - this will not last compared with laminates) unlike local carpenters who just nailed a 3 mm plywood from the base which often falls out after sometime. All European drawers are grooved and slotted.

The other unique and most important thing to note about them is that they don't use those cheap poor quality white or coloured PVC plywood or slightly better painted Polykem plywood which almost all carpenters use now for cabinet interiors.  They use only HPL or high pressure laminates inside the cabinets. Polykem, a painted board do scratch, dents and give off powder-like paint particles. PVC faced plywood is even worst, they easily peels, scratches, cuts, turned yellow, cracks under sunlight, promotes bacteria growth in wood below once the very thin PVC film or sticker is damaged (that's why hospitals typically don't use PVC for their cabinet inside). Believe me... This factory makes all HPL laminate inside cabinets at PVC inside cabinet prices! What a deal! No carpenter has yet offer this before!  There are 5 standard inside colours, white, off- white, grey, black and a wood grain to choose from. For outside of cabinets like doors, they say that they have more than 750 types of laminates. I saw some wardrobes made there with inside and outside laminates the same with small increase in prices... They only 10%! I checked with my regular carpenter, they cannot do this at the price quoted or even for their 5 standard laminates inside cabinets.  

It gets better...Prices include ABS edgings for doors, all soft closing hinges and soft closing drawer slides; and for the wet areas like sinks cabinets or vanity cabinets they provide 4 pcs stainless steel soft closing hinges, something local carpenter will never include for the same price since that stainless soft closing hinges cost some $12 each.  Rusty hinges at sink and vanity cabinets are a problem now since local carpenter don't use stainless steel hinges. If you want they slaughter you with additional prices. Besides laminates, They have a full range of hardware and kitchen and wardrobe accessories like trouser racks, trays, baskets, etc. (see www.donotti.com under hardware) too!

For wardrobe, they charge 10% more for the same laminate (Donotti, Italy only) for inside and outside cabinets. Again no one has offered this before!  Homeowners don't have to a bomb for this anymore and suffer the ugly "White PVC inside" anymore.  

I understand they are causing quite a stir in the market with their product offerings and precision manufacturing facility. They are busy and i don't see them ever advertising. Probably because no carpenters or contractors have yet or can offered kitchen or wardrobe cabinets with full laminates inside and outside at PVC prices, including those soft closing hinges, soft closing slides and stainless steel soft closing hinges.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Hi all,

I'm planning to replace my kitchen solid top and do some other carpentry works. Do you have any good carpenter to recommend?

Thanks a lot

Hi sweetie,

The last time my wooden fixtures were done by PlushLiving..was job well done, most important the price has to be right..

Valuable advices from Darren (H/P : 91084363) from the company helps in getting the job done with much satisfaction..

Of late they have move to a much bigger place with two big showrooms (somewhere in Macpherson), check it out..

Regards

Oops !

Ah Wei (HappyPinky), maybe above contact of help to you...

Edited by erik.tay

I had used a carpenter previously in my old place and find that his price is very reasonable. Recently I called him up to ask him to help me with a really small job that costs only $100+. He did it for me.

If you need a carpenter, you may try calling 96682277 and look for Ah Hoi.

Hope he can help you.
