Renovating the home Part 1

On the previous post regarding contractor or ID, there are a lot of head scratching which one do you want or prefer.



One of the most important will be the TRUST.

Whether you are engaging a contractor or designer,you must have trust. Having a designer will help oversee the entire project. But as a house owner, being very nervous, it is advisable you make a trip down too.

If you are not the color oriented person, it is best to let the expert handle the job (same goes if you are not a project person) You wouldn't want to get color crashing end of the day.

ID is usually costly, but there are some parts that you can go without them if you know some contractor closely. If the ID is nice, they will help you to coordinate too.

For instance, if the ID find that the contractor you engaged has a good workmanship with reasonable pricing, you are also helping each other out! That is a good thing to begin with.



Energy of the house



Alright, let's go into deeper now.

Every house has a unique flow of energy, which subject to the environment as well.
In order to know where is the best place to store your items, it is advisable for you to engage a FengShui master to check out your house.

There are many FengShui masters in Singapore with different cost. If you had seen one before, and it is generally improving, it is best to go back to the same Feng Shui master.

For The Ongies, they decided to get back to the same FengShui master whom they had engaged last year. Things are improving and they feel more comfortable with him.

He is Master Jet Lee from Yi Culture, located at 101 Upper Cross Street, # B1-29 Peoples Park Centre, S058357.

Beside checking the house energy, he also provide individual eight character consutlancy.

He can be connected via phone WhatsApp - but expect some delay communication as he is always busy! Do not expect immediate answer until he is free.

With Fengshui master draw the energy flow, he will tell you where should the hot stove, bed will be facing at. That indeed give you and the designer less headache where to face to.

As FS had helped you to plan some stuff out, it is time to squeeze your creative juice! Certain items have to be on the spot as told, therefore you can start doing researching via Google or even on Pinterest.





With all the position been confirmed, it is time to meet up with your ID or contractor for further discussion.

To be fair for everyone, it is important you state your budget first! If the budget blown by 2 times, it is either you try to locate another one who can match, or try to reduce the stuff you want. It will make a lot of different.

All contractors and IDs know that client have their own budget. So they will understand that they are NOT the only one you approached. Just shun away those who are clinging on you. Service is one of the factor that you may want to look at it.

Fortunately, hubby's friend is a contractor who can help out with most of the major stuff as painting being one of them.

As Ongies had confirmed everyone, they had already been looking for sales items from toilets, lightings, furniture warehouse etc.

It will be tiring because you will definitely go back to the store more than 1 time. Wifey had been researching whether the thing they wanted worth the cost they are paying for. As well as other user experience too.
