Ha, ha… my ID was so eager to complete project was going thro draft kitchen layouts past midnite coz he needs to get it to his copywriter to complete formal drawings on workweek. DH wasn’t happy abt late discussions of such as he doesn’t think well after a long day. That was 9 months ago!

I liaised till quite late with ID on several occasions over the design via WhatsApp and calls :slapshead: . there were so many details to discuss because it was the whole flat. it was an exciting adventure planning but not the packing and unpacking.

Absolutely agree. It's a gigantor project for entire house reno! Not to be undertaken any less than 10 years, so must try ensure no slip ups. Phew!

it's indeed a massive project because we are talking about the WHOLE flat and every single detail.
as we will be staying in the place, there is a need to pay attention to all the details the flat comes bare.
having a reliable ID really helps a lot...I don't have to coordinate separate contractors like plumber, electrician, wet work, air con individually. thinking back, it was indeed exciting especially after seeing everything discussed become real in front of my eyes.

DIY would be cheaper I guess...but it's a big headache having to liaise individually with different contractors - when to bring in carpenter, air con guy, electrician, painter and plumber. having an ID solves all these problems. not only that, he would also have ideas planning the design of the flat. I had an enjoyable time planning what I would want in my flat...towards the tail end, I did got burnt out partially because of daughter's mid year exam. so I left it to the ID. he settled everything for me. what a relief.

Usually, a house move is alr energy sapping & gets me burnt out as I age.

ID indeed helps to coordinate all the sub-works. Without the ID, u cld be getting yr air-cond guy at the wrong timing, resulting the one contractor getting into the way of ano or necessitating either unpainted edges or pay for 2nd round of touch-up. The masonry may hv completed their tiling before yr air-con piping hv a chance to connect & hide unsightly pipings, etc.

Engaging the services for ID may not be cheaper, but a good ID can save u alot of headaches & regrets. On good months, an ID can earn more than 20K fr cuts fr every item u use (ceramics, carpentry, parquet or even vinyls, electrical works).

I was shocked to know my ID was juggling abt 13 projects at different scale & diff stages of completion!
