A lot of IDs just give 3D drawings to impress buyers. And in this current times, buyers are not educated with the knowledge that an ID should also provide with more detailed drawings, until you explained here. Furthermore, a layman like us would not know how to decipher a technical drawing, which then makes the detailed drawings irrelevant. It's good that Adrian educates us here on this professional ethics. Nowadays, a lot of businesses lacks ethics...

I'm currently starting on my reno, and has already contracted a kitchen design company during the last expo. Truth be told, they just provide us 3D images, without any further details. From what I get, these images are just simply plucked from their archives. Furthermore, it was after some coaxing, they only managed to give me the images. Now I need the dimensions for my contractor to refer, but still they seem to hesitate. Somehow, I believe these companies do not have qualified IDs in their stable. It's so easy to give designs, just have to pluck from the web.

What I paid for is according to their standard designs as offered during the expo, i.e. 20ft of kitchen cabinets(design as in their catalog), 20ft of wardrobe, solid table top, and some accessories. This company just basically supply and install kitchen cabinets and wardrobes. The contractor I hired is for basic structural work, piping, electrical, etc.
