Renovation Packages

Renovations - Are you paying too much?
In search of renovation packages for your home? But are you paying too much? Before you decide on an Interior Design firm to do the job, do consider these important factors because they will impact the eventual price you're paying for renovation.
Regardless of whether you're renovating your home for the first time or fifth time, it's time you find out what you're paying for. If you're saying yes to more than two or three factors below, it's quite likely that you're paying more than you should.
Factors affecting the cost of your renovation
• Is the carpentry work outsourced to someone else?
• Do they have their own tilers for wet works?
• How about in-house graphic designers for concept drawings and 3D drawings?
• Was a third party platform used to engage them?
• Did you find them from expensive media sources like TV, Radio and Exhibition?
• Are they offering irresistible "free" gifts or attractive "sure-win" lucky draws?
What are you really paying for?
If your answer is yes to any of the above, then please know that the cost of your renovation would have to include all these additional charges. If the ID firm had to outsource carpentry works, prices are marked up. If they are using a platform to reach out to you, they have to factor in the exorbitant costs they paid to the platform.
And when it's expensive media marketing or the luring of "free" gifts to attract your attention, beware. We're not talking about the occasional complimentary cooker hob and hood or kitchen sink etc. When it’s a free holiday or standing a chance to win a 55" OLED TV, who do you think will be eventually bearing the costs of these lucky draws? Of the hundreds of participants, only one lucky owner gets to enjoy the prize.

8 Top Commercial Renovation Questions Answered

Are you a business owner hiring a contractor in the next several months? It's important to vet contractors thoroughly before choosing one to work with. Asking probing questions about each contractors' business practices and about the remodel itself can help you vet professionals and prepare for your upcoming improvement project.

If you've never hired a commercial contractor before, these commercial renovation questions can help. There's no wrong questions to ask a contractor during an interview for a bid, but some questions are less helpful than others. Below are our suggestions.

  1. Can my business stay open during a remodel? Most businesses are able to stay open for the majority of their remodel, but there are many factors affect whether they can and under what circumstances. Events like sustained loud noises as well as power and water shut offs can shut down a business for a while. Some contractors will work around their commercial client's schedule to cause the least disruption to their ordinary business practices.

Work with a contractor who is able to provide a timeline, including when work will begin, when the most disruptive events will occur, and when work can be expected to end. Some commercial businesses simply move their operations while construction is taking place. Others choose to stay open in their existing location under less-than-ideal circumstances. Working with an experienced builder can help ensure a smoother experience for everyone involved.

  1. Are there sustainability options? Sustainability is not a passing trend: it's here to stay. Commercial building owners increasingly prioritize installation of energy-efficient appliances and fixtures that can improve their property's value while reducing their utility bills at the same time. Common green building materials and upgrades include:

Replace appliances with ENERGY STAR rated products.
Install energy efficient light fixtures.
Install a new "cool" roof.
Replace bathroom fixtures with low-flow products.
Weatherstrip doors and windows.
Some of these upgrades are surprisingly affordable, but make a big difference in your building's overall energy efficiency. If you're seeking a way to increase your building's energy efficiency through affordable upgrades, talk to your contractor for ideas.

  1. How long will the project take? It's hard to describe how long a typical remodel project takes because there's such a range. Kitchen and bathroom remodels can take several weeks, while an addition can take months. A simple paint job or weatherstripping project can be over in a matter of days.

Timelines depend on the size of the building, the work to be done and also whether permits are required. No remodel takes less than one month from the date the contract is signed, because the best contractors often have a long line of work waiting to finished.

Commercial projects can take even longer if they're larger in scope or more complicated than a standard residential project. Large scale commercial projects take more planning.

  1. What codes or regulations need to be followed? Standard codes that must be followed in nearly any commercial construction project include:

ADA
Local building codes
Health department codes
Fire Marshall codes
An experienced contractor should know about all of these codes. As long as you've hired a contractor with experience and a good reputation, you can expect your contractor to educate you on these requirements and meet these requirements in the construction of your project. Read your contract thoroughly to ensure that you and your contractor are on the same page.

  1. What can I do ahead of time to make the project go quicker? Aside from getting started sooner, there's nothing you can do to speed up a good contractor's availability. Good contractors are always in high demand. However, you can prevent delays in your construction project by pre-making decisions.

Look at pictures of the type of construction project that you're planning, and keep a file of information about the goals of your upcoming project. Consult with all boards, managers and staff before starting the process with your contractor. Assign a point person (or a group of people) from your organization to consult with your contractor to ensure that the work is done to meet the needs of your organization.

  1. How can I prepare my workers for you to start this project? A good contractor will likely know the information you need to convey to your workers, so coordinate closely with your contractor when trying to prepare your workers. Give your employees timelines and update them on progress regularly. Your contractor will inform you of any specifics that are relevant to your job.

For example, your contractor may require your employees to stay out a section of your parking lot. Your contractor will tell you if this is the case. Coordinate with your employees to ensure they have this information, so they can avoid parking in the wrong spot when construction begins.

  1. What noise levels can we expect during the remodel?
    If noise will be disruptive to your business, talk to your contractor about working on weekends or during off-hours to minimize the disruption to your company. Many contractors will work around your schedule to avoid conflict with your ordinary business practices.

  2. When can you get started?
    Typically, contractors are not available to start work until at least 30 days after a contract is signed. Large-scale commercial jobs can take longer because they have more moving parts, are more expensive, and require more planning.

One thing is for certain: your contractor should tell you up front when the work is expected to be done. This will likely be written into the contract. If you have a deadline, talk to your contractor to ensure that message gets passed along.

Interior Design Styles: 8 Popular Types Explained

Looking to decorate your new home and seeking thematic inspiration? Search no more. We’re covering 8 interior design styles that are popular in modern homes. In reality, practitioners blend different elements from several decorating styles together, but it’s crucial to identify the core aspects of each one.

Obviously, there are interior design styles beyond the 8 types outlined below, but I wanted to focus on the major schools that are currently in vogue. I will keep this list updated every year – removing those that may have fallen out of favor and adding new ones.

  1. Mid-Century Modern
    The mid-1900s produced some of the most iconic pieces in modern design. It is characterized by refined lines, minimalist silhouettes, and natural shapes. From Saarinen, Niemeyer, Eames, Noguchi, Jacobsen and beyond, the mid-century modern masters defined creative ways to use new materials like molded plastic, plywood, and aluminum in industrial design. Its pieces are highly versatile and can complement a myriad of design styles.

  2. Industrial
    This is a look that hearkens back to the turn-of-the-century industrial era. It emphasizes liberal use of exposed steel with distressed wooden elements, frequently complemented by exposed brick walls. The modern variant commonly includes copper-tone accents. In terms of general feel, industrial decor is often rustic and mature.

A notable point is that industrial decor ranges from modern rustic with cleaner lines to rugged vintage with elaborate ornamentations. Depending on your tastes, you can opt for a lighter, chic look or a darker, antique design.

  1. Nautical Warm, relaxing, and positive. Nautical decor (also referred to as coastal or cottage decor) reflects the New England beach house spirit. This interior design style is based on white or sand colored foundation, with blue as the primary accent color.

Material-wise, nautical decor incorporates unfinished wood in its tables or chairs, combined with chic linen upholstery for your lounge seats and sofas. Your options for decorative accents are many: seashells in clear jars, jute ropes, rowing oars, sailboats, navigational maps, and more!

  1. Scandinavian An off-shoot of the mid-century modern movement, Scandinavian design introduced a popular minimalist look to the interior architecture field that lasts to this day. There are a variety of subset looks within Scandinavian design itself.

Featuring gentle contours, playful accent colors, and a balance of engineered and organic materials, Scandinavian furniture are simple, contemporary, and functional. Many Scandinavian designs employ Bauhaus principles and is characterized by fluid lines, focus on object proportions, and populist appeal. A great majority of Scandinavian interiors use white with gray tones as the foundation colors.

  1. Bohemian Bohemian decor captures the carefree and adventurous spirit of the avant-garde lifestyle. It features creative application of rich patterns and vibrant colors, especially those with red or purple tones. The key is to carefully present a purposefully “messy” look. Layer on textiles (throws, pillows, rugs, tapestry) for a warm ambience.

When furnishing, look for pieces that possess ethnic or nomadic vibes. Moroccan, Southwestern, or tribal-inspired designs are currently trending. Composition-wise, boho chic loves textile, wood, animal hide, and metallic accents.

  1. Farmhouse Farmhouse decor is a modern approach to cabin-inspired interior design. Mostly transitional in nature with some traditional elements mixed in, farmhouse aesthetic should transport your imagination to French Provence. Source some dried lavender bunches and other greeneries – careful arrangement of vases and planters will really stylize your home.

Farmhouse furniture are characterized by distressed wood and upholstered linen. Color-wise, it is similar to nautical decor with mostly white and beige base colors. Orthodox rules dictate that accent colors should be something similar to turquoise or light yellow, but I find it better to introduce some brighter colors for some pop and definition.

  1. Urban Modern Urban interior design stems from the modern designer lofts in the major cities. Taking cues from its cosmopolitan environment, urban modern is a fusion of various opposing and complementary traits. Minimalist modern, glamorous chic, ethnic heirlooms, and edgy experimental designs all collide in a distinctively 21st-century setting.

Larger furniture (sofas, beds, etc.) tends to be uniformly sleek with low-profile. Feel free to bring home trailblazing modern furniture designs. Decorative accents (pillows, mirrors, end tables, etc.) in urban decor often demands artistic and creative expression – add some elegant geometric designs, or vintage items with traditional embellishment.

  1. Shabby Chic Shabby chic decor emphasizes vintage elements to recreate the antique flea market look. The furniture are characterized by their aged appearance, with distressed wood composition covered in sanded milk paint to show signs of wear and tear.

Decorative accents for shabby chic decor should be soft and opulent, often with an affected feel, in order to bring the overall interior design to a contemporary standard. Generously introduce linen textiles for added style. Though orthodox shabby chic colors are white, ecru and pastel, don’t be afraid to apply some vibrant colors.

That’s a wrap for the popular interior design styles! Hope this was helpful in getting you started in your project. Remember that the best interior architects will frequently bridge different styles together, so liberate your mind and approach your design from creative angles. Let me know what you think!

Industrial interior design

What is your impression of industrial? I believe most of your very first impression is an old factory. A factory that is dark, old and full of dust. It is just a stereotype impression. Industrial design can be a modern high tech looks or it could be an office building that builds with giant French windows make the office looks bright and energetic.

Industrial interior design is very different from a normal house interior due to the structures. Industrial is a multiple-time of size to a normal house. It required the designer to think a lot of elements to make a good industrial interior design plan for the clients.

*why is industrial design interior important in an industrial area?
*

Safety:

The structure is very different from a normal house. The concept apply is different too. When the designer is designing, safety is always the priority. They need to make sure it stable to build and all the formats will bring convenience to clients. Office building and factory are two different types of industry. The designer needs to check with the client in every detail. Also, emergency exit doors are very important in industrial as they provide a clean, safe way to evacuate a building in case of a crisis or disaster. Anything happens, we need to run to that door and leave the building.

*Finding the best style for the company:
*

Every company has its style depend on its service. Office style is for those staff who sit the office while manufacturing style need staff to walk around. according to the actual condition, the designer will list out a different style for clients. Apart from them, the shopping centre also can be part of industrial interior design. The mall hopes the customer will be staying here for longer to spent money. The designer needs to come out with an ideal plan for the client to meet their requirement.

*Make the maximum use of space:
*

Some area is limited space that cannot fit a lot of items or stuff together. In Singapore, many companies rent the whole layer in the building to be their office. They only have access to that level, so they need to make sure they do not waste any space in the level. The industrial designer will look at the place to identify the use of each area.

We offer comprehensive solutions so that you would not have to worry about a single thing. Carrying out an office renovation in Singapore is not an easy task.

Minimalist design home

*

Minimalist is intentional that only live with things that need in life. Those are functioning well and fully useful.

*What did you know about minimalist design home?
*

A home that is very clear with little pieces of stuff around. it has the basic need for homing like sofa, table, little decorations and few chairs. To make it feel cleaner, most of the background is white color and little grey. Everything is simple and no extra painting, plants. . It's characterised by simplicity, clean lines, and a monochromatic palette with colour used as an accent.
They focus on function than looks.

All the furniture is purposeful, even art is simple in composition. The client wants their house to be a place that is for resting only, not too stimulating their eyes. In modern design style, it also seeking in simplicity but it is different from minimalist design. Modern design still allows for more spontaneous decorations. Don’t get these two mixed up.

Minimalist also gives them a sense of relief, so they can focus on flexibility and freedom as they feel that they are no longer restricted by the rules and style. Certain people start to recognize what actually adds value to your life, and what isn’t worth the price of owning it. This also reflects the design of the house.

Another reason is people feel it is easier to clean. The process will be faster since there are so many open spaces. Imagine you can finish cleaning within 20 mins. It boosts the effectiveness of the day. More importantly, as homes decrease dramatically in size, clever usage of space becomes a requirement for comfortable living.

Because one-stop renovation contractors work for the same company, they are familiar with one another, making it simple to obtain a discount.In the contractor circle, it is very normal to give discount prices to customers that have more than one service in the same company or referral company. If you take their service for more than one type, for interior design and contractor service and lighting, furniture altogether, you can get more discounts than you find one by one service.

Another good reason is that it reduces the possibility of making errors.

For example, if you want to install the light, the electrician worker needs to know where the wire is located. The contractor side can help the lighting workers by providing them with extra information.

Throws and carpets made of wool, sheepskin, or mohair are some examples of these fabrics. Comfortable fabrics, especially in the winter, are a terrific way to make a Scandinavian living space feel snug and warm.

*Use wood and metal materials

Wooden elements are used in a Scandinavian design, not only in the flooring but also in the furniture and fixtures. As a result, wooden coffee tables and chairs are common in Scandinavian homes. The combination of metallic finishes and wooden pieces, on the other hand, is a newer trend in the Scandinavian style of decorating. Copper sconces and brass pendants, for example, are set on a wooden ceiling to lend shimmer and lustre to the room. Use a grey oil to take the yellow away from woods like pine or oak.
