To me, an ID can also be a contractor. Depends on what you are looking for.

a meet up with both could help u decide. most impt is the FEEL between u and the ID/contractor. he or she must know what u want and prefer.

For me, i already have a general idea of what i want. and quite resistant to changes. hence no stubborn ID for me.

depends on ur renov works...if u wan nice nice design wif many build-in...getting an ID will be better so as to condinate the works...if simple renov works go for contractor to save cost....

Thanks for your advice.

Is there any contractor can coordinate all the works? I have almost all the idea I want for my unit, so what I need is actually someone who can supervise all the reno work as I dont have much time to do it; and I know an ID will do it, but most of their quotation are sky high, eg. a granite galaxy counter top I queried contractor quoted $100/ft; and one ID quoted $140/ft

If you know what you want, then get a main con. he will coordinate for you. at least got any prob, he will ans.

yes, main con is good enough for me, but I do not have any referral, searching renotalk is time spending,I will slowly collecting ideas and approaching some contractor. thanks for your advice

Hi, vanessa,

happy to see your reply.

I have seen your floor plan, it s just the exactly same as mine, I will upload my Floor plan soon, now I still learning how to do it, hehe

I am collecting my keys most probably in May, I extend the seller 3 weeks on good will.

For now, I try to fix some of my ideas for designing my home. I just want simple and modern style in my future house.

the only thing I can keep is the marble floor, just need to polish it, I dont know how much will cost? any advice?

For balcony, the previous owner has made roof and false ceiling, and the floor also marble, I am still hesitating if I should keep the enclosed balcony or should I hack them all, so I can enjoy the outdoor feeling and BBQ maybe, or alternate option is to make a glass roof. still thinking about this. also need some advice.

keep in touch

thanks
