hi all,

need your help on some recommendations on good contractors or id firms.

i was recommended kok and perline before. did not use them as straight after meeting them started toying the idea of moving house. i find his prices quite compeitive but if i want nice designs but his designs are quite down to earth which i hope for some renovations.

i moved into a interterrace 4yrs back and enagage a contractor and designed my own place. it was a failure, cost out run my budgets cause we add this minus that. when minus, the cost cheaper by a bit but add up quite a bit. worse part the contractor quarrel with his sub con and end product not very good.

most importantly no one in my house is creative or have a taste for beauty. so the place kind of lack character and style. so commented my room looks like a whore house!!!

however, my friends who have enagage ids for their place was a total disaster too. same thing and always take the contract out to show my friends. anything extra cost alot.

basically we bought a small detach house, 3 storey with built up of 6000sf. no kitchen and wardrode as owner did not install them since he decided against staying in each after he started building.

hee... after downpayment we are like super tight so our budget for furnishing and furnitures are to be kept to max 100k. furnitures around 50k. so my designs i hope to keep to 30k to 40k. 20k for contigency.

what is needed,

1) lighting points designing, i intend to use led for the whole place and crystal chandeliers which i will get from china more for effects plus installations.

2) landscaping design. like plants along driveway and small grass patch about 150sf.

3) open kitchen design with island top and glass panels to seal it up if heavy cooking is needed

4) fill up area of about 300 sf of about 1m height

5) wardrodes for 5 rooms.

6) minor plunbimg works like installing taps / minor handy man works

may sound alot but frankly, it think one the kitchen as the rest are quite minor stuffs

1) is there any interior designers whom are provided space planning, designs, landscaping advice while i engage kok to be my contractor? what is the cost of his design?

2) any good id firms whom are not very ex and are good with designs. not those whom always just take a standard design and give it to u. most importantly not calculative like small things also charge. fair pricing.

the problem is we want a baroque style concept. as i think its great and the design will not go out of date, this house is meant to house us for the rest of our lives. but we are also a chinese family and an alter is deifnately a must in our house, it also have to need to look at the front door according to my father.

any kind advice needed. btw, i know my budget a bit tight but i kind of over commit out of rash so really lan lan. current place still marketing so no proceeds to assist us.
