Imago Dei 3 was a recommendation from a friend and one of the reasons I decided to engage them as my ID is when they presented their proposal to me. It was fair, quite realistic and achievable. During the renovation process, my ID Lesley Koh was open to communication. Any issues was rectified promptly. Design wise, I was impressed with the final results. Lesley provided feedback and recommendations to which further improved the outlook of the design. He managed to match the colour scheme with what I want and goes nicely altogether. More importantly, he gave me an estimation amount for the materials but after the final bill he took us the additional unnecessary charges. I found that Lesley did a great job in handling the coordination of the project and it was completed within the timeline!

We engaged Kandy as our ID after meeting her because she was able to present a design that married our different ideas together. Kandy clearly enjoys designing, as evident from the fact that she painstakingly came up with a unique design instead of presenting a generic version. She also ensured that the designs and fittings we got were functional eg ensuring that our bathroom mirror came with a little ledge for storing items and checking the height of the taps we ordered. When we needed some minor fixes done post-renovation, she quickly arranged for these. Kandy will definitely be our first point of contact the next time we need to get any renovation done.

Asolidplan was recommended to me by a friend and I decided to engage them in the end because they were very forthcoming with creative ideas, very much different from the other IDs I met. Instead of giving me the sketches as per instructions, the team at Asolidplan was a lot more proactive and I could feel that they sincerely wanted to listen to my ideas and at the same time, propose alternative plans and suggestions that they feel might be better for my renovation. During the renovation itself, it was also fuss-free for me as the ID would be supervising the project and keeping me updated on the stages of development. Any changes or modifications were also carried out swiftly, well within the given timeframe. In a nutshell, I had a very good experience working with Asolidplan.

We were sourcing around for some Interior Designs from an ID magazine and came across 'D5 Studio Image'. We were quite impressed with their design and asthetics as it was close to what we wanted. After meeting up with our ID, he gave us a proposal on the designs and even managed to create a some drawings for us which enables us to undertand better. Even though we gave them a tight schedule to complete the renovations before CNY, he handled the project management well and thus our home was ready just in time!

I started looking for Interior Designers even contractors. Didn't feel very comfortable with some of them because they tend to force their ideas on me rather than listening on what i want. On the other hand, I got to know KATE through Qanvast recommendation. Working with her on my house was a delightful experience.” “More than presenting what she was capable of, she looked into my personality and my son's taste too in coming up with the perfect designs and concepts. She was very professional when it comes to deadlines and make sure everything was done right, down to the smallest details. A true professional and artist at heart.”

I met eight interior designers in total and Janet’s portfolio was the best match to what I wanted to do for my place. She also had the best understanding of my requirements as compared to the other interior designers. I would say that we could connect well and it was easy to communicate with her. Furthermore, Weiken is a reputable firm that produces good quality work so I knew I could trust Janet with designing my home. During the period of the renovation, Janet was often on site to monitor the contractors’ work and she gave me daily updates on the progress of the renovation. I was also overseas for a period of time during the renovation and she kept me updated on the renovation progress over Skype. She also helped me to keep track of my invoices for the various expenses such as for the furniture, furnishings and electrical works. She gave me a lot of practical advice through which I could see her expertise as an interior designer. For instance, I initially did not want cove lighting because I felt that it was too bright and it might get dusty over time. However, Janet was able to assuage my concerns and convince me that cove lighting would work well for the overall design that I wanted. Janet is very accommodating. There was this one time when I forgot to tell her that I wanted an open space for the bottom part of my shoe cabinet and she had already done the 3D design. Despite this, she was nice enough to redo the 3D design to incorporate the idea that I had. She is also very patient and took the time to answer any questions that I might have.

Studio 20 Concepts was one of the 5 recommended IDs from Qanvast. One of the reasons that I decided to engage them is based on their design, and versus my overall budget. Compared to the rest of the IDs, my ID Jason was the only who provided me with rough drawings of the design and it was impressive. I felt comfortable with discussing more of my renovation plans. During our discussions, I found that the design Jason presented was very nice! He was quite hands-on and any minor hiccups were resolved promptly. Jason even took the initiative to update me on the progress by sending photos of the renovation works. Overall, Jason did a great job and everything was completed smoothly.

Jeffrey was a recommendation from my property agent. He was quite patient when explaining to me what to expect during the renovation and kept updating me time to time during the renovation. Jeffrey understood what I wanted for the design and suggested some ideas to improve it further. The renovation went smoothly and I was happy that Jeffrey fulfilled his promise, who did a great job on the project.

A 5-star rating for TWP from my husband and I on our recently (and awesomely) renovated resale unit! We met with several IDs before deciding on TWP namely because Jia Hao and Dennis won us over with their patience, flexibility and being accommodating to our whims. As first-time homeowners and new to the renovating process, Jia Hao and Dennis were very forthcoming in their recommendations and advice accumulated by their years in this field. Yet at the same time, they were never condescending despite any outlandish ideas that we threw to them. They put in their best of efforts to fulfill our requests, and even went beyond and above to create the home that we wanted despite the multiple changes we put them through. Our first visit to TWP started from their in-house carpentry workshop before we sat down to talk about quotations. This is testament in the pride TWP has in their quality workmanship that they provide to their clients. The entire renovation process was smooth and well-managed, and any issues that arose were promptly followed up and resolved. I don't think we can thank Jia Hao, Dennis and the TWP team of workers enough for their long hours and late nights especially during the year end peak period. Despite their packed schedule, our IDs and the team always ensured that our renovation is on track. We are more than pleased with our home that has brought on so much joy and comfort. Thank you TWP!
