The completion for the construction of our home is expected to be Q1 2013. We are quite excited and have started looking for interior designers lately. This blog is set up to document our home reno journey.

During our first meeting at Benzdesign, Johnson used pencil and stencil to draw on a copy of our floor plan. His estimate for the total cost for the renovation, excluding lighting, is about $17k. He told us the average amount that people spent on simple home renovation is about $22k - $25k. Both Benzdesign and Connectix said they will get back to us in about a week's time for a more detailed quotation. It has been over a week already but we have yet to hear from both of them.

We found Beaux Monde and Sky Creation at Dream Home 2012 at Singapore Expo last week. Raymond from Sky Creation used his pen to scribbled a rough layout on a copy of our floor plan and provided us with a rough estimate of quotation on the spot. It was about $25k. We decided quite quickly that we will strike out Sky Creation because we were slightly put off by Raymond. He has done nothing wrong, just that we feel that he is someone whom we would like to work with. Call it "chemistry".
We went to Beaux Monde today. I will write about our meeting with Zen and Raymond from Beaux Monde in a separate post later.
