There is no cheap ID

ID is like a project manager , the use different contractors to do different works, eg. hacking, tiling, painting, plumbing, electrical, etc.

In honesty the ID market rate (aka profit) is about 30-50% of the amount you pay. They always have different suppliers eg, tile company, paint company, glass, door, window, flooring who gives rebates for using their product.

If u want to save money you can find you own independant contractors and manage them yourself (using balance payment as a leverage if the workmanship is not good) but its a lot of work and coordination.

You can save abit by purchasing your own materials but again you need to know the job well enough to order enough.

Overall there is no cheap ID,cuz your paying for their time and effort and its their rice bowl.

Only way is to find those not so well known who more hard up for the work and willing to earn lesser. Those well known all stuffed with jobs and they only do it for a certain price (somewhat like your Orchard Hairdresser, but quality is assured most times)

Congrats & Good luck with your new home

No wonder IKEA has a sustainable business

No wonder IKEA has a sustainable business

It is cheap because IKEA uses particle board wood.

Speaking of experience using IKEA furniture. It is not meant to last for more than 10 years. Due to Singapore's humid weather if your furniture can last for 10 years or more consider very good liao. By then the design is already dated so updating to new furnishings can be a good refreshment to your living environment.

Anyway nowadays due to people too rich they always suka suka do renovation every 5 years so I don't see the point of using super good quality materials. In fact the cheaper the better so money saved can be used to update newer designs as the years go by.

If you are not the fussy type and quite good with tools and DIY you do not even have to spend a cent on some furnitures. I see people dumping away good furniture all the time. A bit of refurbishment and paint job is all you need. Recycle and save the earth!

Big companies like Darwin, Weiken and Northwest are honest. They have a reputation to protect and will see to it that the project is completed in a satisfactory manner even if they have to sack their own ID.

Cheap or not depends on your budget. Some people think 25k is cheap while others might think it is so expensive.

A contractor can promise you the sky or can tell you words like 'oh because you are so and so's friends, I will charge you best/good price' 'Cheaper than ID' 'very cheap' 'best value' but they will keep on adding on to the cost when you make changes.

My suggestion is to get a package from reno companies. Very often, with package discussed, you already know how much the price may go to and you cut down all the hagglings and just focus on the reno.

You will be surprised that some big reno companies actually charge quite low as they have a much larger economies of scale and they offer good packages.

Even with ID package, there are add on as well.
