mine was not that high.. i did compare around.. was about 5-8k more. my current quote is about 46k. other quoted me about 38-40k.
U**** Interior quoted me 50k for a even more simpler design 

RnR quote me slightly more than 40k while W**ken quote me slightly more than 30k. But then the designer actually offer to call his boss up to give a discount if i confirm them on the spot which i was not prepared to so the price difference might be smaller after the discount though.

Hi. I'm about to engage R&R as my ID for my new resale flat. Is R&R pricey?

personally, i feel they are slightly more expensive as compared to others. but if you take into factor that the cost is to cover the life time warranty.. maybe not so ? But then again.. to what extend will they honour the lifetime warranty.. no one knows until something spoil.

After meeting up and discussing with Danielle, we just told her that we want this kind of feel in our living:

I had also requested for my platform bed and wardrobe to be amended to this kind:

 

#4 Amendments:
- change platform bed style
- change wardrobe layout and design
- remove the bottom cabinet that extends out to the living (which also acts as the dining table)
- removed study table in Bedroom 2
 

Danielle asked if we like something like this and if we fine to go ahead with these colour samples:

We are okay with the design, but the wood grains are too light to our liking. 

Therefore, few weeks later she provided us the draft of the design and asked for our opinion.
(finally we can see that there is some work being done properly when you meet an ID that really do their job.)

Our feedback to her that we prefer something like these kind of shades of gray (not 50 shades of gray thou) and to mix the colour as per our preference but was told that it would be too dark. 

 

and the updated 3D pics of the changes as follow: 

 

The pictures are starting to look more like what we wanted. 

Living: we can finally visualize how our Lego display will look like
Kitchen: we got the cafe-ish kind of feel with the chalkboard wall
Bedroom: TV feature wall has improved as compared to previous design, and we like our platform + walk in wardrobe feel now. (there will be panel door to cover the wardrobe area, similiar to this design below)

 

 

By the way, i have yet to collect my keys (estimated 2Q 2017).
The next phase of discussion can only happen after key collection.
Meanwhile, will source for items at taobao. (any recommendation on what to get for the home???)


till then.. 

glad that your 3d is getting nearer to your vision! btw, how many times can your 3d be amended?

I prefer the new designs, looking forward to seeing them come to life! The previous ones were not bad but look pretty generic. I had a similar idea for the MBR (like you, doing research 2 years in advance) so I'm interested to see how that turns out.

All the best with your reno process!

i'm sorry but I think the previous ID design look much better.
