ugoh 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2011 Get some more quotes. If they are all ard the same, then it should be the going rate. This year I think the costs of materials/transport will be more than last year. So don't look at other forum members prices from a while back. As you know inflation had reared its ugly head and also oil prices shot through the roof. So dream of budget reno is still a dream. (another factor is high demand due to many hdb flats being sold and TOP). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asianms 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) hihi I'm using RnR (they also go by the name SpaceDefine I think). Just doing my kitchen, including hacking of existing kitchen flooring & cabinets, re-tiling, new upper & lower cabinets, and full-height glass walls for the utility area, it's about $20k. The price came as a shock to me; I had thot $10k would cover. Edited April 1, 2011 by asianms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ugene512 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) UPDATES: I just went on to look for ID today, the list that i scheduled appointment with is as follows: 1) Artrend - William A short discussion with him just now for about an hour, very quickly gave him my idea and what i wanna do. Very quiet.. it seems like i am the ID and he keep asking me so how i wanna do it?? Hmmm strange.. i should be the one to ask man.. anyway he dun have a name card as well. He looked quite new and quite unsure of what he is saying or doing.. 2) IDEAL DESIGN - ron I saw one of the forumers engaged him so i though y not take a look. To my surprise, i find him knowledgeable he has been in this line for about 6 yrs and he is young about the same age as me.. So i find him very easy to talk to and communicated. Not much sales talk, very direct and honest (i like). He showed me their works and his design. The best thing is he told me that i can get him to come out with the design with 3d drawing and stuff and use my contractors instead with a charge.!! Very good and i talk to him for about 2 hrs, very nice chap and honest so far.. GOT CHANCE to get wat i want with a lower price hahahaha 3) Dtrenzo Hmm... dun wanna mention names but i dun like the designer assigned to me. We do not click at all, he dun understand wat i am trying to say and what i want. Dun know how to explain but just cant click. Never give any design input very simple and sorta trying to smoke me... hmm.. dun like entire requirements gathering took 45 mins 4) Fuse Concept Ann Ang, a young designer graduated with a dip in interior designing at least something relevant. We talked for about 2hr plus and very honest and willing to scratch her head to think deep for me. I challenged her to create something better then i have. As you guys seen i have did alot of homework and i will sorta know what i want already. So it is really the service, design, price and feel now.. Very patience, she even took know contact of those that i have aliased like design tray, eubiq system and envo rich for flooring. Good so far.. Waiting for the price then 5) IDEAL HOUSE - WIilliam Meet up Alton William from the a.m. He is well into his 26 yrs of service in this industry. I can see how experience he is and he told me he was a contractor before and had study to upgrade himself as an ID. Anyway, my session with him took like 30 mins. Requirements gathering was very swift and he is able to visualize what i want. He is very busy and i can see he has a lot of work to do from the stack of files by his side. He has about 7-8 project on hand. So again, i think he will be very busy. So contradicting eh..too busy not good and too "eng" also not good.. HOW ???? haha 6) Blve and Blue - willie I have met up with willie from blveblue.com, i found out something, they actually branched out from this capentry company call myidfactory. I just went to their showroom at paya lebar. I must say it was quite impressive although the guy that serve me was still new and young in this industry. Their kitchen are running at 100pfr with softclose from this brand donotti , which is a brand own by them. They also have their own laminates so according to them they are able to provide lamination in (not PVC or polykem) and out of the wardrobe at a better price,and it is gg at 250pfr if i never rem wrongly and by adding a 10% will give you laminated on the door as well.. hmm. The drawers are made without nail and are all precision cut to slot the pieces together. Interested party can go down to their showroom and see. By far the biggest showroom i have seen. Worth trying although the company is new ... 7) Artistroom - MARK Went to visit artistroom at pearl terrace. This place is currently run by 3 person, mark(sale), katy(designer) and rudy(project). Mark and katy are husband and wife so all the work are done by just by them only. The impressive thing is that all drawings are hand drawn and not computer rendered. Interesting and the first discussion was very plesant. Will just wait and see.. 8) TAU Interior 9) Summit Design Hahahah so many to see, dun care just wack!!!! argh!!

ugene512 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) Uppdated: My wife and I have visited VIctor from three-D Conceptwerkes once again yesterday. As from my previous post i was impressed by their work and drawings. So far no one has show me any drawing except him. I can see that he is indeed sincere of doing and designing my house. We were discussing about the budget and everything. I find his quotes are very reasonable. I have compared it with other deisign firm and found that his quote are actually not bad infact some are cheaper then the others. Mansonary works , wet works, hacking and haulages(including cement and sand) are all cheaper or rather in market prices. The things that are actually or pricey are the capentry works. - Master bedroom wardrobe and casement cupboard at the recess costs about 4k - Kitchen with bottom(14ft) and tall unit(8ft) with solid top is about 4.5k - 30ft of solidply wood strips as feature to hide all door costs 13k ---> this is alot!!! but the effect is **** nice.. Any bro pls kindly advise, they were reall nice!! I told them if i can outsource the solid top to granite and the WIW at MBR (using MYIDFACTORY @ 200psf with laminates in and out). They say sure, and go ahead, they are willing to compromise on that althought i know they wont be earning alot from me already. hmm will meet up with them again.. I am very inclined to engage and confirm with them already ..... Edited April 8, 2011 by ugene512 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have heard about this company before in this forum but can't remember who is the one who give a good comment for them. I m still thinking either to do a portable wardrobe or a fixed one.

So i dun think thats alot le?? Your scope of works is lesser than mine. I will be doing my own design (simple one) and just need a contractor to co-operate with me on how to get it done and clarify about the measurement and materials to be used. No choice..I only have small budget for this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the capentry is cheap lor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
