Are you an interior designer or someone with design background? Coz frankly your design is by far the most impressive compared to the most local home reno/property selling videos ive seen on youtube. I can see a lot of thought and originality has been to into place. Not the cookie cutter templates. Thanks for putting up the video. Your work should be a minimal standard of what interior designers should be able to do (based on the budget you quoted in another in another comment).

Thanks, I have interest with interior designs but I am not an interior designer. I have seen many ID works and felt that their designs are pretty much "cookie cutter templates". Wanted to make the best value out using my own design that optimizes every inch space with constructive ideas. Over the years, I had spent much of my time soliciting ideas from Qanvast, KZbin, Pinterest. Next, translate these ideas into my sketchup to access the feasibility before the contracts are awarded. Also spent quite a bit of time with my wife to visit laminate showrooms, tiles showroom and early discussions with contractors. This helps us set the budget and selections early. Indeed a lot of homework has been done and I am glad to share what I have with all of you.

@@GavinGoh89 A full renovation at this scale does not come cheap. Nonetheless, the designs that we had in mind are able to execute within an agreed budget with my partner. My recommendation is to set an initial budget and be prepared to spend 20-25% of the initial amount. You never know there are some items that ya may come across later that is worth to spend on or some screw ups along the way.

Hi, our renovations cost appropriately 80k SGD and it excludes cost of furnitures, lightings, LEDs, other fittings. However, the Reno cost may have changed in the post covid world due to inflation. I recommend to factor in 10-20%. On top of it.. I also recommend to factor in a buffer budget should it spillover beyond original budget.

Hi, I would estimate the cost for both bathrooms to be 14K (including all the sanitary fittings, carpentry). The material of washing basin should be the standard clay that is coated in white with some smooth coating. The typical basic basin you would find. In terms of the quality for American Standard, we have not encountered stubborn stains from our washing of dirty stuff till date.

Hi Mervyn, not sure you do remember me? we had met at the Blum showroom once and I'm the interior designer and Blum certified partners. You must have done a lot of homework. For the folks here, just a piece of advice, you guys have to be careful with Sketchup colors it might turn to be disastrous in reality. Well, of cuz we do know that practice makes perfect and nothing comes easy if you don't spend the time to do your own homework :) Great inspirational from Mervyn and Thank you for sharing. Btw, you must be finding it difficult to pull out the tandembox especially when your hands are wet/oily :P Just a bit of advice to you, the drawers door panels at the kitchen can customize to fit integrated profile handles (check the door thickness first) and hope this sharing helps you.

Hi Timothy, yes you are from Dezigner Labs Pte Ltd and glad you still remember us from the Blum showroom. Agree that sketchup colours might not turn out to be the true reality but it is still a great initial tool to simulate the idea and choice of colours. My recommendation is to visit those laminate showrooms, tile supplier companies and take samples; Get hard copies of the paint catelog and decide the choice of colours and textures carefully. We have visited Lamitak showroom more than 5 times, Hafary about 13 times (especially for toilet tiles). It is always those subtile details like colour tone and the contrast of texture that can be a little more difficult to decide on how they would complement each other. I also agree on the tandem box finger pull and the recessed integrated profile was not done due to cost reasons. Wish your ID business prosperity in this difficult period. Thanks!

Hi, there are a few ways to go about: 1) subtract the measurements given in the layout (eg: outer width subtract the inner width from point a to b) 2) Measure the thickness of a HDB wall as reference (best to measure units that are not more than 15 years old). Ultimately, expect some margin of error as every unit is different and an actual site measurement will still be required eventually.

Hi - just saw this video, beatuiful design & reno. I think it would cost more now than a year ago when you did the reno. Would pass your video to my daug for consideration when they receive their bto 5 rooms flat. However, i would recommend a structured water HOUSE UNIT that can be installed at main pipe after water meter for hdb flat to prevent hard water issues on hardwares resulting from tap water usage. Moreover, you also get the most refreshing shower from Structured Water. If you are keen, i can direct to my source for your consideration. Thank you.

Hi Mervyn, love the design of your house. May I please have a copy of your renovation details as a reference for my own upcoming bto reno? Also, just curious is the master bedroom and walk-in wardrobe made out of 2 rooms? cos I realised there's only 2 rooms, but I really like how spacious your home looks.

Thanks, I have considered about natural sunlight in the day especially the kitchen area. Ya might have seen some HDB service yard layout doesn't allow much sunlight in. Therefore, I have chosen copper and aluminum backsplash to help reflect more light within kitchen area. Lastly, the study room glass panels helps to channel in the natural light as well. Your concern is indeed valid in the reno plans

Hi I love ur designs! Able to share the 2d layout and sketchup files with me? Thanks in advance. By the way, where did you learn your sketch up from? Ur master bathroom shower niche is using hollow block or calcium silicate board?
@MervynChew
@MervynChew 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks!. The bathroom shower niche is erected using bricks. My original sketchup file is very huge. Alternatively, I can pass you the skeleton and some images of my drawing. I learnt sketchup by try and error. Perhaps it is a good start to learn about X, Y, Z coordinates first.
