For contractor or interior designer?
It is about time to rev up this blog post after a long rest. Just trying to keep low profile (chuckles)
To share with everyone, it is official now.
The Ongies is MOVING!
After staying so long at the current place, they decided to move on to another and bigger space!
For a heads up, the house is resale and the entire house is 90s designed. Just imagine the olden days, you get the right picture in your mind.
In order to move in, it is a must to renovate the entire house.
So, this is where the headache comes in.
For most people, they would rather choose contractor because cost is the most important among all.
When you decided to engage a contractor, make sure you know who you are dealing with and also do some background check.
If you are looking for one, ask your friend. Because among your 100 friends, there will at least 2 friends know a contractor. Another best bet - facebook is your ally.
It is the same thing when you are engaging an interior designer.
Who are they, their part work experience and also background check on the company as well.
There are black sheeps in a company, so make sure you know the name of the interior designer even when you want to check out the 'complained' shop.
Always have open heart by asking and get more informations.
Compare price, and also try to mix and match that they can offer.
It is not an easy journey, but it does contain lots of happiness in your mind.
First and foremost, contractor are the one who do most of the tough job, while the ID is in charge of certain work scope.
They had compared quite a few shops before deciding what they want.
If you are overhualing the entire house, it is very important you engage an experience contractor or a good ID firm.
Because it involved lots of operations, and the amount is not a joke at all.
If you gotten yourself a BTO or condo, congrats to you.
Your entire renovation cost will be much lower because most of the items had been installed, example:
toilet WC
windows
door
flooring
As there are a lot of cost saving from you, splurge a bit more on your furniture.
If you got a resale old flat, be prepared to change everything in the house.
Better be safe than sorry, so electrical wiring and pipes are one of the priority things that need to be change during renovation (for house that is more than 6 years and yet to change the cables.)
As hubby said, this is an exciting journey, so it is important to jot everything down and keep it as memory.
Share your excitement with The Ongies if you are renovating as well!
Hubby will start sharing more and more. Keep the blog noticed! =)

So what is the decision from The Ongies?
They decided both contractor and ID.
