I happen to have the same name as the ID, Samuel Tan of Design 4 Space, but I'm the Chan version :P

Our BTO flat is currently being renovated by him. Below is the photo I took just last week (secret night inspection)

So far so good. I also did my research here to find out that they have good workmanship, so can't wait for those built-in cupboards, desks and cabinets to be up :D 

Yea FITJAY, Samuel is pretty friendly and has always being contactable throughout. We do sometimes message him at wee hours and still got a response (but felt really bad after that. lol.) 

To get a sense of the quotation, I got a few contractors to quote me before I went to Design 4 Space. So with the package, I think I got a quite reasonable (in fact lower, since its package) quote for the amount of work I ask for.

This is our first time renovating so I also don't know what else to expect, but at least it is smooth and pleasant. 

I also had quite alot of ideas and concepts which were all translated to 3D accurately. He did mention that most house-owner took at least 2-3 time to revise until they are satisfied with the design. However, I was quite satisfied on the 1st revision. I have to crack my head to think of things to change.... but end up I can only comment on colour, the design were exactly what I wanted :) 

Here's the final 3D design of my house before start of the work.

Wanted brick liked effect on the featured wall

Converted one room into study. Decided to hack the wall to have an illusion of space.

Hack the kitchen wall to have food easily serve to the dining table outside. Also tempered glass panel across.

Pretty happy of the design :D

Yea, I heard lots of story too. Especially in our HDB private Facebook page. I got quote first individually from various contractors... And it's definitely cheaper if it's part of a package. One of their basic package for 4 room is 12k-ish... 

The package is pretty reasonable, but I ask for this and that and more stuff... Up till it cost 30k-ish. 

Heres more recent photos...

I'm building a home office base on my need. If not for the "office", should be around 20k-ish

We will be getting a lot of other decorative stuff from ezbuy.sg (Taobao), so can save quite a lot.

I really can't help but comment on this. Nice idea to create illusion.

Udon,

I totally feel for you. I have engaged with them anf their workmanship is disaster. Scratches here scratches there, so many defects i wonder why still so many positive reviews on their company. Now everyday when i look at those defects i felt very annoyed! Text the ID for the defect, no reply ! So regretted to engaged with them ! So, for those who wanna engage with them, pls think twice!
