I had a very disappointing experience with this renovation contractor. Throughout the project, he repeatedly failed to keep his promises and continuously gave false deadlines, causing significant delays to my renovation. At one point, my house was left completely empty for three weeks with no workers on site and no progress made. Despite collecting almost 90% of the payment, the renovation was not even 50% completed. He also promised to bear half of my STORHUB storage fees due to the delay but eventually refused to honour his commitment. When I requested a refund, he refused, claiming that he had already paid deposits to his workers and that they were busy with other projects. After collecting our 90% payment, we can see a delay in his response and replies to us. He started to give late replies or ignore us. The lack of accountability, poor project management, and broken promises caused my family a great deal of stress and inconvenience. I hope future homeowners exercise caution and ensure they have proper payment schedules and written commitments before engaging other contractors. Most importantly, do not engage this contractor.

We’ve had a great experience with ✨ Natalie ✨ . Her professionalism, ownership and calmness throughout the process was exceptional. She takes tremendous care in building our home, almost as though it were her own, and never takes shortcuts. She often catches details that we completely miss during our site visits - e.g. she noticed that our door 🚪 knobs were installed too high and took the initiative to send them back for correction. We didn’t even notice it! This type of ID where to find 🤣 When one of our chosen dark wood laminates went out of stock, instead of taking the easy route and simply suggesting an alternative, she guided us through the matching process again, considering our other laminate, wall and floor colours. 🌈 There’s also a lot of behind-the-scenes work — measurements, material selection, proposals and coordinating with different vendors — and she took the bulk of that off our shoulders. Her design taste is excellent as well, and we’ve never had an instance where we second-guessed her recommendations. 💪 We’re approaching the end of this “not so straightforward” reno and are happy with seeing our dream home come to life. ❤️ Seriously dont look any further if you want a great experience for your reno!

Joshua is a very professional ID who plans everything well and communicates efficiently throughout the renovation process. He made the entire renovation journey smooth and hassle-free.

Good experience. Zynn is a very responsible interior designer who takes her work seriously. Very pleased with the design of the house. Renovation fees are v reasonable too compared to other companies! Initially I was just scouting around for an id company and didnt even have a house yet. But Zynn treated me like any other customer and designed my house in accordance to the theme I wanted when other IDS wouldn't have bothered about me. That's what I like about the company.

We first worked with Xyden and Chai Hwa back in 2021 when they were still with another company, and had such a great experience that when it came time to renovate our new home, we knew we wanted to work with them again. What we’ve always appreciated about them is how flexible, hardworking and responsive they are. They have great design ideas, but are also very willing to listen, adapt to changes and help sort things out whenever rectification is needed. The quality of their work has always been good, and they react quickly whenever something comes up — which makes a huge difference during a renovation! We’re really happy to see Xyden and Chai Hwa now starting and building their own firm. Having trusted them with two of our homes, we’d happily recommend them and would definitely work with them again in the future.

Had a pleasant experience working with Eugene Goh from Decor 8 for our renovation. Eugene was friendly, approachable and responsive throughout the process, and was always willing to listen to our requests and work things out with us. Our renovation journey took a little longer than expected, and we eventually moved in while some of the finishing works were still being completed. This meant having to accommodate the workers coming back for the remaining works and doing some cleaning along the way, so it definitely required some patience on our part. That said, I appreciate that Eugene continued to follow up on the outstanding items and see them through until everything was eventually settled. Overall, we're happy with the final outcome and grateful for his help throughout the renovation journey. 5 stars for Eugene!

We are grateful to have Cindy Teong for our home renovation. From the beginning right through completion, she was always proactive, responsible and dependable. Whenever an issue came up, she was always there to help. She would take the initiative, coordinate with the relevant parties, and do her best to find a solution for us. This is actually not our first experience with her. Three years ago, she completed the renovation of my daughter’s house, and we were very happy with the experience and the result. It was an easy decision to engage her again when it came time to renovate our own home. Once again, she did not disappoint us. What we appreciate most is that she follows up closely with the works, pays attention to the details, and is always willing to go the extra mile to get things sorted out. Knowing that we could reply on her made the stressful renovation journey easier for us. Now that our home is completed, we are happy with the final result and thankful for all the effort she put in along the way. After two very positive experiences with her, I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, proactive and reliable interior designer.

Angie did an awesome job helping us renovate our place. We were aiming for a clean, Japanese-style look, and she really delivered. What we appreciated most was that she actually listened and understood exactly what we wanted right from the start. She took our requirements and turned them into a highly functional, great-looking space. The execution was just as impressive. The workmanship and carpentry are top-notch and feel built to last. It’s hard to find an ID who gets the design right and ensures high-quality construction, but Angie nailed both. Highly recommend working with her.

We went to a few IDs and settled on forefront due to assurance from our friends as well as the design concept of our ID Wilfred! Wilfred was able to take into consideration my partner’s and my preferences and come up with a unique proposal for us which not other many IDs could do. Our renovation process was smooth and Wilfred was always open to changes along the way. Our PM Eugene also helped us to settle many of the nitty gritty stuff so we didn’t have to. Grateful to both of them for working on this with us!
Thank you so much Grace for the kind words and for trusting Forefront Interior with your home! We’re really glad Wilfred and Eugene could make the renovation journey smooth and bring your ideas to life.
We’ll definitely pass your appreciation to both of them. Thank you again for choosing us!
