Hi all,

Have been visiting a few id firm and just realized that i lack the basic knowledge on the procedure of engaging a ID firm. As such would like some advice from the seniors here.

Base on my feel after visiting the few id firm, the steps would be:

1. pass them floor plan and inform them of any requirement

2. basic quote would be given base on the requirements

3. since i would have quite a few quotation on hand, i would probably have to narrow down the list based on the feel of the designer and the pricing

4. once narrow down to say 3 designer, do a onsite survey and get a more detail quote + ask them for 3d drawing concept? ( i do think that the reason why you engage a designer is still at the end of the day for their creativity wouldnt it?)

5. base on the 3 design select 1, sign on dotted line + pay deposit

6. work starts, liaise with designer till work end

Would the above be correct? or is there a better way to go about doing it?

o yeah missed out. after selecting the 3 designer in step 4 i assume i should visit project they are currently doing to see the workmanship standard?
