Hi,

I have budget limitation, but I would like to have a satisfied and self-comfortable house.
Do I just need to go for constructor if i have concept?
Or interior designer will help us to design according to what we need?

Of course u look for contractor not desiner cause you only have limited budget you wouldn't afford the designer fee and at the same time you have your idea of to renovate your hosue,you just let the contractor know what you want they will do it for and if you have picture of sorts is also good for contractor reference that's my piece of advice for you.

i am about thinking the same thing. Sub out kitchen and plaster ceiling to contractor. Others i will settle by myself.
in term of DIY, how you do get the material or sources? e.g. book rak. nowadays as you know, book rack is skru on the wall and you can have your DIY idea to design the shape of the rack. how do make the material as i want?  rclxub.gif
And, wallpaper, how you gona stick it or glu it on the wall?

for book rack u can find it in furniture shop or you buy it from IKEA and it is not skru on the wall it have external sell as well cause i saw it before.if uyou want to diy kitchen cabinet you can find kubiq but it is not include installation and transportation cause it is charge separately and they do provide the installer and driver for you to call but you have to pay them and i don't encourage you to diy on kitchen cabinet or wallpaper cause if not done properly then you will regret it and yes you can find alot guidance on google teacging you how do it but in actual will you be able to follow as what's been mentioned in the google diy website.

wise decision and Interrior designer is not nessesary neede for condo renovations cause they r pro n they charge quite for 3d design for around few thousand just one design only and not include contarctor renovate for cost and materials.so it will be best to find a contarctor to do it for rather than ID ppl.

it just like

when u compare a G2000 formal shirt and Tailor Made shirt.

Of course tailor made will be more expensive..you hire a specialist to tailor made your outfits…

does it necessary, it depends on your what you expected.

Those ah beng ah sheng just know little bit come out to be KC specialist….in normal residential they can show off la…but when it come to corporate. they can’t even attend a proper meeting.

Designer can help you on that,what is suitable for your wife 2nd workplace,”THE KITCHEN”…How to impress your friend and family thru 1st visit on your house. How to fully maximise your budget for renovation. not only for KC…to choose in between wallpaper and texture paint…

2nd thing,

You must understand,

If the company without proper management, they not gonna charge u for it. If you really looking for a peace of mind, pay a lil bit more…hire designer and don’t simply engaged with the cheapest in the market…

there are many cases happen, always end up in vain.

If they able to survive , they must be a reason for them to exist..

THE DESIGNER~!

Well i don agree with u on this cause my company has been renovating alot condos but without any designer to plan the design cause a very minimalist design ideas we can still give to u base on ur budget and we can draw for customer for free when they engage us so i think small houses like condo it is better just find a good contarctor when u don have budget for id consultant n yes id consultant is very pro but how amny ppl can afford ur services like ppl with budget wise so ur services is much more better render to high end custoomer with high budget.that's my little piece of advice.

i have no comment on your reputation. maybe your company does provide this service in good way or not.even in KC market,some big players still have customer satisfaction issues arise. it happen here…in this market…

a lot of ppl who looking for free lunch. who know a bit about carpentry works. they claim they r specialist and they intro business to carpenter. but in the end up , no after sales service. because they got their commission and don’t wanna go back to client offer them after sales services.

In Market , there a lot in exhibition who offer great promotion, free drawing, cheaper price…but end up , what happen? call them no response. installation date postpone . It depends on end user whether wanna take risk or not. engaged small contractor with cheaper price, of cuz, cause they no need to be responsible for after sales service.

*I didn’t pointing anyone here. but there is certain of ppl complaining,rise this issue. don’t ask me where. it happen in LYN, do your homework’s read more thread.!!
*And this happen in my experience. if u said this only happen on me. So I'm glad, my client come back to me for my after sales services.
*For your information, if U paying a bus fare to get a bus ticket .Get on the bus, please don’t expect inside the bus with COZY environments, 5 star hotel services.
Get into the bus, u need to accept the situation whereby it might be stinky or packed of ppl, or this bus is nobody inside and feel cool with it.

**PLEASE DONT DO ANY PROMOTING HERE! WANT PROMOTE GOT SERVICE NOTICEBOARD.

Ya you're right some points here but what can tell you is that not every small company without any designer that are unrresponsible and the service i rendered include after sales service so it is not necessary only big company or design company can give after sales service and ya cannot compare the service rendered by big company with small company which is just targetting low end whereas the big going after big clients with big budget.
