Verified ReviewReviewed by Amaria Ponniah・Submitted 11 Jan 2019・ Project completed Nov 2018・Designer Evangeline
Finding the right ID was very important for us because we had a strict budget to keep to, yet much that needed redoing to the resale flat we bought. Evangeline was able to not only work within our design preferences but also help us get the most value for money for materials and fittings. One thing we had to consider was whether to spend on new windows.. it would have cost us additional $7000 just to get the approvals and new windows and grills. But Evangeline came and inspected the ones we had and found a solution around it by making good the window grill locks and hinges saving us a lot! The process was very clearly explained to us, and transparent. We appreciated very much how well communications were done and the project management was excellent from start to finish. We couldn’t be happier with the work done for our home and would definitely recommend Evangeline and TDP to anyone. :)

It was a great experience throughout my home renovation with Design Practice. Raymond was meticulous in the construction details and was able to communicate his solutions well to the contractors, and delivered to me a higher than expected quality of my now nicely renovated home. The workmanship of his team of contractors was outstanding as well. They are accommodating and approachable and are willing to share their experience on projects to help me make better decisions. Excellent job to team DP!

We picked Enzo as our ID as he was most resourceful with our storage challenge and space utilisation, yet did not quote us an exorbitant amount. His pricing is competitive but we felt he was more knowledgeable than the other IDs we met through Qanvast with regards to piping and electrical wiring. We didn’t regret our decision. We are happy with the detailed design and material selection process, as well as the renovation work itself. We are satisfied with the colour and material combination that he suggested. The workmanship is good and we were pleasantly surprised with the outcome of the lighting works that he proposed. We like the fact that when we requested certain functionalities in the different areas of the house, he was able to provide design suggestions that we won’t be able to come up with on our own. This is definitely the value that we were looking for in getting an ID instead of a contractor. We found the whole renovation experience a stress-free one, as I was very busy with work, and either my husband or myself could only visit the site 1-2x a week mostly on Fridays or weekends. Enzo would not bother us much with nitty gritty stuffs but he would contact us when we needed to make certain decisions. He is also responsible with the follow up of minor things post renovation and move in. You won’t regret engaging Enzo for your renovation works!

One of the reasons we picked The design practice because Enzo was very prompt in his response. We met up many times to discuss the design. Enzo had been very patient when we wanted to change something and he gave good suggestions and advice. Workmanship is also good, however there were some small areas that were not well done but he followed up and fixed them. We love the design of the house and i dont think there is any part of the design that we do not love.
