Hi,

Am a newbie here. Hope to have some honest feedback.

Has anyone tried using this ID firm : AC Vision Design or Reno contractor : Hoong Fatt Heng Renovation PL ?

Just bought a resale flat, need major work for two toilets and kitchen, and rewiring, carpentry for kitchen, hall and bedrooms, hacking kitchen and toilet tiles and wardrobes, ....

My budget is <$35k. Doable?

Thanks.

Both of this IDs are safe to be engaged with. They have been in the market for quite a time , haven't seen any problem from their side. 
You pricing should be around there, cause normally resale will be a little more expensive for renovation

$35k is my own budget but indicative quotes from IDs is about $50-60k. I havent contacted any contractor yet.

Any advice pls? thanks 

I think generally contractor should be cheaper than ID. If you already have some designs in your mind, engaging a contractor might save you quite a sum of money. Hoong fatt heng has a thread in the forum and also have some good reviews left by some of their customers. I've a colleague who engaged them for her house reno and didn't hear much issues from her. So should be ok but dyodd.  

If you have no time to monitor everything, then it is better to give it to ID. They would do the liaising

Hi Andrea, so in the end, who did you engage for your renovation? I am looking at contractors as well.

a group called Explore Living I can recommend. these guys oh are the ones who helped my friend do a recent reno. think they still have pics on their facebook page eh. https://www.facebook.com/exploreLivin8/
you can try ask them quote first then compare. see if they can match 35k expectation. 

 

Dunno why its spelled Livin8 on their fb page lol
