Alex was the first ID that we arranged to meet up with after we looked for IDs on Qanvast. We only had a very vague idea then, of how we wanted our house to be like, but he was able to immediately sketch out a few proposals that were in line with our ideas. When we told him he was the first ID we met, he wasn't pushy and even told us to look for other quotations before settling on one firm. We decided to work with them because we felt that they understood our wants well, and could easily add those elements into the design. Initially, we wanted to go for a Scandinavian concept, but we kept sending dark coloured mood boards. Alex was able to understand our ideas and his first draft was exactly what we wanted. During each step of the reno, Alex and Sebastian would explain their choice of material, at times even delving deep into the technical aspects to help us better understand and appreciate where and how our money was spent. We were also extremely impressed with their resourcefulness and their broad connections which helped us obtain quality products at competitive prices. They were also able to keep within our budget most of the time, until we started adding a few more items not part of the quotation. Although our reno process took a long time to complete due to the Covid-19 Circuit Breaker, they kept us well informed on the schedule, and even expedited certain parts of the reno once we had entered Phase 1. We were amazed at how quick the reno proceeded despite the severe shortage of manpower. In the end, the reno was able to complete on schedule, not including the 2 month-long CB period. We thoroughly enjoyed watching them transform our flat into the one of our dreams, and highly recommend anyone looking for a knowledgeable and experienced designer to approach Inizio.

After approaching several designers, we decided to go with Sebas and Alex from Inizio Atelier. During our first meeting, they manage to show us some simple sketches so that we have a better vizualization of the design we wanted. Communication was also a breeze throughout the process and Sebas can easily capture whatever ideas we have and transform it into the 3d pictures. Most of the times he will put himself into our shoes and help us home owners to save cost. Most importantly he also managed to worked within our budget while delivering quality work. Renovation process will bound to have some hiccups along the way but Sebas always manages to reply to our concerns and rectify them promptly which we really appreciate. Nowadays, we hardly leave our house as we are really happy to stay inside. Overall, the renovation journey with Sebas and Alex was definitely a pleasant one and we would highly recommend them to build your dream home!

We renovated our room with Guerrand at Inizio. From start to end I found his work ethic commendable and we were very happy with all the suggestions he gave us! He took a lot of time and effort to find the best fit solution for the limited space we had in the bedroom. He also did his best to get the actual contracting work done quicker than expected so we didn't have to wait long to have our perfect room!

Alex was my interior designer for my 4rm resale hdb. I like the fact that he understands what I want in terms of design and functionality of the house. Everything was well planned, from hacking, to selection of tiles, to even placement of furnitures. He also regularly updated us on photos of the progress without us asking. With that, Due to Covid, the renovation was abit delayed but it was still within our acceptable time range. Overall, it was a fuss free journey and I'm glad that we had chosen him over other 4 IDs that we had shortlisted. I would strongly recommend him to my friends who needs renovation services.
