Insight.Out Studio

After rounds of searching, we have landed ourselves at Insight Out.Studio for our renovation. The Interior Designer was Edmund and he was extremely dedicated and passionate with his work. During our first meeting, he managed to clear most of our doubts and provided us with a general idea about the whole renovation, which is especially valuable for a first timer like us. In our subsequent meetings, he guided us and explained to us patiently the things we should take note of when we are choosing materials, lighting, colour choices, etc. During the renovation, Edmund was there to handle the plumber, tiler, carpenter, etc and made the necessary arrangements for the renovation to go smoothly. Regular updates were provided to us and we were aware of the whole process. Pertaining to the design, the recommendations proposed by Edmund exceeds our expectation and matches the theme exceptionally well. He was able to capture our likings through our conversations and piece them together to conceptualise the design and proposed with recommendations for the furniture and fittings that blend well to the overall theme. After the handover, Edmund was there to assist with the ratification work and followed up with us to ensure everything was in order. In all, we were really delighted that we have engaged Edmund as our Interior Designer from Insight.Out Studio! Zen & Ria.

Being a first time owner, there are plenty of things to learn and look out for, especially with defects and the countless complaints you read on social media. That is why I was so very lucky to have met both Edmund and Roy to help me on this wonderful renovation journey. Sitting through the design process was enriching and interactive. I especially appreciated the fact that our concerns and inputs were valued, with constructive advice given by them wherever it was deem fit. We were being made to feel our project was important to them and our interests were fully considered. This was evidenced not only in the intelligently crafted designs, but also the inputs and hardwork throughout the renovation process. With Edmund and Roy steering the entire project management, we were allowed a peace of mind while taking a backseat. Besides constantly updating us with photos and messages on the progress of the home, they were also quick to pinpoint issues that needed rectifications. This was crucial as hiccups were bound to happen based on the stories I’ve heard, but I was never made to have to ‘fix them’ due to their efficiency and experience. The final outcome of the home was one of utmost delight for us. Our lifeless home pre-renovation flourished into an abode of design, function and comfort. I highly recommend their services and it has been such an enjoyable ride in this renovation process.

We decided on Insight.out studio after meeting with about 8-10 IDs as we felt that Roy was very professional and gave us practical advice based on our preferences. He helped us to keep within our budget despite the rising costs. 1. Schedule – Roy gave us a renovation schedule which was very helpful for us to know what works were going on. Schedule was quite accurate and works were completed by our move in date that we have given to Roy. Kudos to keeping to the timeline! 2. VO – there is absolutely no hidden costs (which Roy keeps emphasizing and also in the contract), VO was our own stuff that we requested during the reno. 3. Hiccups are bound to happen during renovation and Roy was responsive to our queries and clarifications. When we pointed out the rectifications that needed to be made, he was able to solve the issues quickly and give his advice. Even after moving in and we noticed some small defects here and there, he would arrange contractors to come down as soon as possible to help us touch up. He also came down personally to help us touch up some areas. 4. As for the design, we are very pleased with it as it was what we envisioned and more! Definitely no renovation horror stories and we’re glad that we engaged Roy for our first home!
