It was through my daughter's renovation that we knew about FSI. The discussion with Leon and Brandon was very engaging. They were able to understand most of our requirements and we felt very comfortable working with the team. But upon receiving FSI's quotation, we honestly felt it was on the high side. But after in depth understanding of the renovation process, we believe what we are we paying for is for quality and reliability. I guess eventuallly no matter how we compare, we would still find prices 'too high' as a consumer, even if the price is below market rates. We decided not to risk and pay a bit more for accountability and quality works, and the after sales service. The renovation experience was very smooth sailing, of course with some minor hiccups here and there. And most importantly was the managing of the timeline, which was very important for us to plan our moving dates. Communications on the project schedule was very clear. Although there were some slight delays, but the FSI Team managed the situation very well and allowed us to moved in within our expected dates. Overall we were very satisfied with the working experience with Leon and Brandon. And the price we paid really saved us the unnecessary worrries. And on a personal note, taking responsibility on the entire project is one of my utmost concerns. But we are very happy that FSI has fulfilled this task.

Much thanks to Leon and Perlinda for helping us create our dream home! Leon provided great suggestions to our house layout, helping us optimize the space usage while also improving the aesthetics. He communicated his ideas and concerns clearly, and was very patient with our many changes in requests. He responds promptly to queries and is easily contactable, even after renovation is completed. Perlinda was also a great help to our renovation journey. She coordinated the schedules of the contractors to ensure timely completion of the renovation, and was often personally on-site to oversee the progress. We are very satisfied with the quality of workmanship provided in our house. Would definitely engage them again in the future if I have a renovation project!

We engaged Jasmine for her design services after seeing her portfolio online and we thoroughly recommend working with Jasmine. Do note that this post only reviews the design work completed on our home and not the renovation itself as we have gone with another contractor for that (more on this later!). *Reasons we would recommend Jasmine from FSI:* Firstly, she's versatile. We had initial reservations as even though we liked the work featured on her existing portfolio, the projects gave off a Wes Andersen-esque vibe and ours was a more neutral, earthy aesthetic. Jasmine never imposed her personal preferences on us, and instead worked with the looks and ideas we'd pinned. This leads me to another plus point about working with Jasmine. For design noobs like us who have a vague idea of what we like but are not very good at articulating what we want, Jasmine was wonderful to work with. Based off our pinterest boards, she came up with renders that we were happy with from the first draft. In fact, most of the changes we suggested were cosmetic as we were happy with the ideas she had proposed. Jasmine was pretty intuitive about what we wanted, even when we couldn't quite describe it. Prior to signing with FSI, we had gone to three other IDs with the idea of building a kitchen island. All three suggested the same configuration we had come up with on our own, and we weren't fully satisfied with this as the island for this configuration was too small. After a couple of discussions with Jasmine, she came up with a way to open up the kitchen and expand the island into a curved peninsular that flows organically with the rest of our dining area floorplan. Service wise, Jasmine and her team were very prompt and patient in responding to queries that we had, and changes we asked for were delivered in a timely manner in subsequent renders. We didn't have to chase them (in fact, we were probably the tardy ones when it came to responding at times :P) All in all, we are very happy with Jasmine's work and we wish we could have continued with FSI for the renovations. We engaged Jasmine for her design services and she has done a fantastic job. However, the FSI quotes for renovation works were on the high side, and we decided to engage a different contractor to oversee renovation in the end. There were no hard feelings as we had engaged Jasmine for her design services, and had paid a fee for the 3D renders, material list, furniture floor plan etc. On her part, Jasmine was very gracious about us going with a different contractor, and has continued to respond to our queries promptly. Again, we're not commenting on their renovation services only because we have not worked with them in this area, but we would very enthusiastically recommend FSI and Jasmine for their design services.
