Just an update:P ... In the end We continued staying with my mum ... so reno did not happen in 2006.

Right now, mum just sold her flat, so RENO has to happen!!

Have shortlisted the following IDs

1. Titan Creative - ID seems very very busy.

2. Spacious Planners - Design was good, but way over our budget

3. Intra Design - Good quote ....

4. Baroque D'zign - ID did not pay attention to our requirements. In the end just quoted based on their promo package. Quite a bit of hard-selling... I will drop him out of our shortlisting

5. Ho Bee - Good quote ...

Currently my flat is occupied .... =X rented out ..... Will visit my place soon to get some "before reno" pictures... hehehehehe

Air Conditioner

Will require a system 4 unit to cool all rooms including the living room. Based on the assumption that averagely, no more than 2 air-con units will be switched on at a time, we will need to select a unit that operates most effectively at half load.

After analyzing the data from the NEA website, Toshiba Model RAS-4M26SACV fairs well at 50% load, and full load. Estimated monthly $$ for half load is S$40 and S$114 at full load.

Prices (Source: Coolserve.com)

RAS-4M26SACV / 4 X RAS-M10NKCV = 3410 SGD or

RAS-4M26SACV / 4 X RAS-M13NKCV = 3810 SGD

The quotation I got from Impress 21 was 2 years back. My requirements changed quite a bit since then.

I'm waiting for the quotations from my "first round" of IDs. I may approach impress21 to get a quote comparison, cost quite frankly Impress21 is very competitive when it comes to pricing.

Only concern about impress 21, they may not have the "design" or "artistic" element ... which .. unfortunately ... US , the owners... also lack ...

I realised that HDB has AMP restrictions for old HDB flats... So I can only have a Toshiba System 3.

price is about 2538 ... ... my hubby and I agreed that our living room can survive without air-con

Haha an old bird 'comeback' huh

Welcome back assirac. Enjoyz!

Trying to decide on whether to engage Hobee or Intradesign.

Which one is better when it comes to ......

1. Price - Hobee (Intra is about 15 - 20% higher, Hobee's quote was very very detailed, ie no hidden costs)

2. Design - Intra (3D drawing and portfolio is definitely more convincing than Hobee)

3. Service/Response Time - Hobee (Replied my email within 3 days) !!

hehehehe .... which to choose leh ??? !!

Haha, same situation as mine... but i have 3 companies to choose... from an initial 10... it's a headache manz. !!

Ask them to bring you to their showflats!

See the actual better than rely on 3d.

The ones we went to didnt give drawings de... Oh, 1 got. But totally different from what we wanted. !! So we junked it. Now left 2 more we had yet to view as its CNY times (the owners may not want to let ppl view @ this time which we understand), so everything shifted back 1 more week. So once we see these 2 more, then can decide liao. I hope no tie... !!
