Hey sifus!

I am in the midst of discussing and dealing with my ID. Straightforward, the issues I faced. All, especially ID and contractors are very much welcomed to provide an constructive opinion in any way possible!

why don't try different ID?

Maybe, that's one of the plan, if other ID able to gave better quotation.

However I still keen to try to proceed with current ID first.

Hi...here is my opinion;

1. You should tell the designer your taste. Normally what i've been practice, i ask the owner how they wanted to be, for example, contemporary design, classic design, modern design, industrial design or very budget design. But then there is sometime the client ask us to suit with their home layout.

2. Budget may varies according to items the contractor proposed. Mostly the clients loved the custom furniture, facade, balustrade and etc2. Eye candy materials quite expensive, but there are some items cheap too.

3. Electrical appliances depends on market price. Most likely price is fixed and got little discount only. If bulk quantity, got discount more.

What does the cost provided in their quotation include?

Will provide quotation given later tonight.

All the kitchen cabinet cost approximately 20k. Damn.

thats why i went to start own team to take on such jobs. they aint getting 30% profits from me (for a 20-30k kitchen cabinets)

as for this part.
Already got the design
- however still felt like the one I was on the internet seems much classy, just that I don't know exactly to described in words.

show abit internet pic vs the pics you gotten, maybe your taste more upper class adi, so some stylish elements was not put in or omited. hence looks more basic/plain ?

Care to share what is included in the quotation?

- U're only doing interior make over, or including tilings together with some modification on wall and segments?
- Is all materials to build inclusive in the BQ such as the curtain, the surface choice for the kitchen (quartz, solid surface etc), all light fitting and such?
- What is the proposed materials used for area such as feature walls and cabinet?

Would like to know your BQ as i also carry out reno and wish to compare a little

possible to share your entire BQ with pricing listed for each joinery section?

haha, constructor/ID currently only at part time level.. haha cannot handle so big scope like whole house ID/reno yet..
maybe only can do like one row of custom built kitchen cabinet only for own house haha. cos i am not really in this cabinet business.

budget 50-60k cannot go too grand la bro..

Can you pm me your ID contacts? Thanks

Need an ID for clinic and saloon design..

Ya realized it too, hence tapering my list and expectation. However still keen to get others opinion too!

Feel free to PM me. I will forward tomorrow morning, currently on mobile.

Can you PM your ID contacts to me as well? Thanks.

PMed you already. Sorry for being late.

PMed you too already. Sorry for being late.

Yeah, I agree with your 2nd point, where they quote DOUBLE of your budget..I experience that too. Got to wonder what are on those ID mind when they quote such prices

I actually asked the ID to came with different set of quotation, yet nil. Anyway, found a contractor that offer much less price compare to original ID.

Still considering tho.

no any contractor can quote you with 50k-60k for the design you show us，at least 300k. able to purchase a big house but no money to renovate？ stay in empty house then.

agreed! for such big house atleast 100-130K for renovation somemore you want hired ID. unless you be the ID and save the cost there.

Have to admit, you two are actually true. Its either raised the budget or lesser the expectation. I got that now.

I bought a 1.8M house and I am IDing to a max budget of 150k.

Some people will ask you to reno to certain expectation due to "save face" factor, but I say work towards whatever budget you have.

If 60k, then 60k it is- who cares what price you bought the house. (As long as you don't set 600k expectation on the 60k budget la)

From,
A guy who is getting quotes for 300-400k when I specify ask for ID and reno complete in 150k

Have a realistic budget and work towards it

Completed renovating my 3 storey house a year back. So thread closed.

Thanks everybody.
