The Interior Place

I chose Alan because of his decades of experience, which helped to keep the project on time. He is friendly and passionate about design, and we were really happy with the custom bookcase and kitchen counter that he designed. There were some miscommunications that should’ve been better micromanaged, but he was responsive in sending his contractors over multiple times to fix them to our satisfaction.

Confident, responsive and highly skilled- this is how we’d describe Alan. We first got to know of TIP through recommendations by Qanvast. We were initially working with another ID in the company but due to unforeseen circumstances, our project was taken over by Alan. While this naturally led to some stress and uncertainty, we appreciated the time and effort that Alan took to talk to us and understand our concerns so as to build a good relationship. He tried his best to assure us that the transition would be smooth and that we were in good hands. Thankfully, this set the premise for positive interactions down the road. Alan is incredibly good at what he does. He was able to negotiate very well with the subcontractors and vendors throughout our reno journey and was very responsive whenever there were concerns raised. Along the way, we noticed some issues with workmanship and inconsistent work in some areas. Yet, he was always quick to settle things and make arrangements to rectify these issues. It was very reassuring to experience how committed he was towards making sure that everything went as smoothly as possible. We are truly thankful for his dedication and the fact that he takes such great pride in his work. It was through his proactiveness and efficiency that our reno was able to be completed earlier than expected (which was something important to us as we were hoping to move in right after our wedding). It was also very helpful that Alan was able to provide us with recommendations for various things we needed to buy - he even brought us to Wasser and Bath which is a great place with excellent deals. It’s where we ended up purchasing our fans, quartz countertop, sinks, taps, stove, hob and built-in oven. For first time home owners, it can be quite overwhelming to think about all the things we need to buy and all the vendors we need to source for and liaise with and so Alan was a great presence to have in terms of his much needed advice and tips. Overall, what sets Alan apart is that he is able to give you a sense of confidence that when he says he will settle something, he will really do it to the best of his ability. This is something we truly appreciated as we could trust him to do what was needed.

I was introduced to the Interior Place by Qanvast. Out of the 5 recommendations, The Interior Place checked all the box, being listed on HDB approved agents for renovation and good reviews. After Alan Lui picked up my contact, the journey from initial contact to completion of the renovation was truly efficient. Overall, there was communication from Alan on what to expect and we were able to pick up the design at a cost that was reasonable for a 4 room flat renovation. Once the renovation started, it was fast and efficient. The renovation was complete within 5-6 weeks and the workmanship was good. I am truly glad with the fast turnover so that my daily life can carry on with little disruption.
