PROPCAFE™ Guide : RENOVATION a TO z, MY REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE (EPISODE III)

Thank you for sticking by.

Now where the real deal begin, the appointment of interior designer and start work. The appointment of interior designer can be done via:-

• Recommendation by someone you know;
• Vouched through his/her work through print media, reputation, show units;

For me, I want the interior designer to share the same or semilar DNA in their previous/current work, obviously not that top notch reputable outfit (I am not that rich) and office must be closer to where I stay easier to deal with them. It didnt take long for me to find “the one”….and its close by too..I was impressed with their works on the show unit at Serai Saujana and its name was Capsule Creative, an outfit run by two siblings.

 

The meeting with Capsule Creative was fruitful. After having a meeting with them and sent related files for their principal to study my wants and needs, within 3 weeks, they had sent their 1st draft of 3D illustration. We kept on working on fine tune, costing and materials and signed off the final draft approximately 2 months later. Due to work related copyright, I wont be able to share the work here.

As this firm mostly can deal with carpentary works, blinds and ceiling, however due to complication of my dry kitchen, they had recommended two outside kicthen cabinet makers for me to chose. Also the outdoor area plus lap pool too they had recommended other professional outfit to undertake the task. As the construction of pool required council and neigbours consent, the application took few months before we can carry out earth work and the whole process took about 6 months from start to finish. All in all, the interior part of the job wasnt complicated. Most works done in 2-3 months. The delay was on the construction of pool and it took 6 months for the entire process. I also spent some times doing shopping with my interior designer for soft furnitures around town and they were corodinated all the delivery of electrical appliances and cabinets, soft furnitures and etc.

The last thing I need to do is to display my artworks and the house was DONE! Hope you guys enjoy the final outcomes.
