I am in the midst of renovating a 3800 sq ft condo and a 440 sq ft studio.
I did have a quotation for that 440 sq ft condo from one of the names mentioned here as it will be done up for rental. In the end I rejected it as it felt very cookie cutter. If I spent RM25k on an ID then I want something that is one of a kind and bespoke not something my neighbour could also be having.
I was shown by an agent a unit of that studio that was done up by one of those companies. It did not impress me at all as many of the fixtures seemed to be a flatpack from China that you could get something very similar from IKEA. The furniture provided the agent insisted it was not from IKEA but I knew for certain IKEA sold the dining table and chair.
If you are really into cheap cookie cutter IDs, just browse on Taobao or AliExpress and it would not be long before you find someone that can supply you the entire ID kit that all you would need to do is install it.

QUOTE(vreis @ Aug 13 2020, 12:12 PM) Actually thats why you hire an ID, if lets u do customization, its not their design edi. FYI most established ID firm just like other professional, do not like ppl to change their design. First off you have to tell them what kind of design you are going for then they will do design brief for your comment before detail design. Usually client only have input when burst budget Almost all design you see whether its hotels/bungalow/malls/etc , client have next to zero input, else you will find weird weird designs If its design fees you can get mid range designer which i doubt you can have 1 of a kind design ....if its design & build for sure you get cheapskate materials. If you check a simple designer sofa, it cost at least half of 25k. That is why budget is very important & why most ppl just get contractor instead & design themselves. afterall theres tonnes of ID works on the net for references You seem to have forgotten one very important aspect and that is it is my money and I or my tenants would be living there not the ID person.
