ID selection

We are finally settled with an ID! We only had 6-8 IDs to choose from, but it was really tough and the experience we had was truly an unforgettable one. I'm really glad it's all over. We've made the $500 deposit to our ID so right now we're just waiting for his 3D-drawing, which will take about 2-3 weeks. I have already plan to make full use of the time searching for more ideas and inspirations, renovation & furniture loans, sourcing out good furniture & electronic deals etc.

We decided to search & choose our ID months before our key collection date simply because we want our renovation journey to be less stressful. As we are currently renting out a place to stay right now, we really want to move in to our new home ASAP to avoid spending more $$$. My friends call me 'kiasu' when they found out that I was already hunting for an ID without getting our keys yet. But to me, I simply didn't want to make any hasty/rushed decision in the near future.

Here are a few factors that we looked out for while picking the right ID for us:-

• Budget
• Experience of ID
• Trustworthiness of ID
• Ability of ID to understand our needs & requests
• ID's helpfulness
• Design vs. Practicality

I think I've basically covered pretty much all of it. If you feel that there are more factors to look out for, please feel free to comment below :)

Will post a review on each of the individual ID firms that we had contacted on the next upcoming days. Do watch out for that!
