Actually if you are quite 'cincai' or hardly use the kitchen, can go along with the cabinet designers suggestion or contractor's suggestion. They will do it the way they assume it suits you and is easy for them. It works for some people. Adaptation...

You can choose what to save on and what to spend to stay within budget. So I did go cheap on certain items with acceptable quality (to me). 

Nothing in renovation is simple. If you go cheap then less thought can be put in as less regret later!

But if you want one that support your lifestyle and activities then you need to think hard what do you want. For my current renovation I listed down every area and every rooms requirements. Design based on those requirements.

Color of the paint, countertop material, smart switches and color of the switches, led size shape lumen, normal socket vs eubiq, total power for each area, curtain vs blind and type, water filter indoor and outdoor, garbage disposal, granite vs stainless steel sinks, taps, etc etc

If you don't want to have regrets better plan down to last details. FYI the arrangement and layout of my switches I won't let my electrician simply install 🤣

Hi all sifus,

Any suggestion of KC suppliers for combined kitchen (dry and wet)? Chinese style cooking ocassionally.

Looking at quartz/dekotop with melamine or plywood as they seems more value for money. Also considered concrete tiles due to durability but looks old fashioned.

Budget around 15k and fellow brothers seems to recommend Honsenz and Intech from what i read, wondering if they are good.

total exclude the cooking hood, hob and basin - rm 20k
