Hi, thanks for sharing the journey even during this hectic time.
I had the same route as you to first approach the ID and realising it will double up the budget. Results to design and plan on myself.
I’m in the middle of looking for a reliable contractor. The sharing on quotations really helps a lot while giving an idea of what’s a good details quotation be like.
By the way, how is the workmanship so far on your contractor? Would you recommend it based on your experience?

I actually I’ve no idea too. But so far that’s what I got from all the IDs. Some of them are friendly that they told me the budget I had it’s only doable go for contractor choice.

hi, no problem at all. thought it'll be helpful to others since i was clueless when i started this renovation.

yes, initially i wanted to engage ID, but after discussing with few IDs, I realised I don't have that type of budget (almost double than the actual budget).

after completing the project, i dont dare recommend this contractor, that is why i dont really pass their contact to anyone. in terms of communication they are okay but it terms of workmanship, im not really satisfied.

Yea, I do understand the the consideration on contractor here. Currently also in the dilemma of should I choose the contractor that have fast respond (The quotation is done with details in 4 days) but less number of review (based on their social media account) or go for another that have quite a good review from their previous customer, but slower respond to me (still yet to receive quotation after 2 weeks time). Maybe my project it’s just too small for them.

So hard to decide…
