Adroit Interior Design

ID Kai has the poorest time management skill and is the most irresponsible ID I have ever met, so much so that I warn you before using him since these two are important attributes when we look for in an ID. First of all, he suggested to meet on Hari Raya Haji even though I told him I didn’t want him to work on public holiday. He insisted and we agreed on the timing 1.30pm even though he asked for a later timing which I couldn’t make it. He later told me that he will be taking his vaccination in the morning, which I asked if he would like to meet another day in case of side effects. He again insisted that he could meet as he would be fine after the vaccination. On the morning of Hari Raya Haji, he texted me that he mixed up his vaccination appointment that it was 12.30pm and not 11.30am so he would be late. I asked if we delayed to 2pm, is it okay for him. He then said okay. Bear in mind his vaccination centre was at Jurong and we were going to meet at his office in Lavender but I didn’t know this until much later. He said he will check out the crowd and update me later. Nevermind, no message from him until I texted him around 1.20pm to confirm on his office address. He then remembered to tell me he was still waiting for registration! When he hadn’t registered, he set a timing to meet us at 2.30pm-2.50pm considering he had to rest 30 mins after the jab and also travel down. When I checked in with him later, I found out he was having lunch with his girlfriend at 3pm. If his original schedule with us was 1.30pm, I would expect him to have taken his lunch before his vaccination especially he then had one more hour of free time. It turned out it was a joke of the public holiday, wasted our time and he had probably planned out a date with his girlfriend. He asked if he could email me the quotation instead. Of course he didn’t follow up and I didn’t want to engage him in any case.

We worked with Kandy for our renovation. Kandy was very easy to work with and very receptive and supportive of our ideas. She was very creative in turning our vague ideas into actual designs and didn't just go for run of the mill ordinary designs. She also included many little things to make day-to-day life easier as well as (very politely and respectfully) pushing back on some of our wilder ideas that would not have turned out so well. The renovation work itself went very smoothly, was on time and was well project managed.

We did our ID with Ashley for a 5 room HDB. From the starts, she was very attentive to what type of feel and design we wanted for our house, as well as to keep the reno cost within our budget. Along the way, she advised us a lot on everything we needed, kitchen carpentry, finding the right colour scheme, bathroom, plug and switch placement... Working with Ashley was very easy, and she handled well all the schedule and contractors work. If there were any mistakes (never a major one), she arranged quickly to have it fixed by the contractor. Even after that our place was completed, she has still helped to fix some small issue that came up. Overall, a great experience and someone to recommend for your ID.
