Maybelle is a fast and responsive ID. She will bring us to look for the materials and show sample of what kind of materials that suits needed. Whenever we have enquiries, and she will engage discussion and explain the details and giving logical opinion. Wherever there is a problem arise she would rectify fast and give an arrangement on when the worker will come and fixed. The workmanship was great and we're like the design. Thank you for your professionalism and commitment to excellence throughout the project. We will definitely recommend Maybelle to our family and friends.

Our kitchen was literally falling apart before the Renovation so I found Swiss interior on google and chose to go with them because they are nearby our place and the reviews were quite good and are delighted that it did not disappoint us. Dapheni was assigned to us as our designer and helped us with our needs and wants for my mother’s dream kitchen. Dapheni planned and designed everything and adjusted to our liking as well as recommended quality yet affordable materials for our new kitchen. The two weeks renovation went very smoothly with Dapheni updating us on the progress regularly and the contractors for the renovation were nice and great in their crafts. Although there were a bit of hiccups due to CityGas being ignorant. Dapheni tried her best to help us to mitigate the situation. I would 100% recommend Dapheni to people as the works were very coordinated and well executed with great quality and has made my mother happy with her new dream kitchen.

Dapheni did a wonderful job in managing this renovation. Our ask was quite unique. We needed storage space, workspace and a murphy bed. Her design ideas were on point. We are very satisfied with the end result. The workmanship was very good. We had a small hickup with the murphy bed because it was not settling on the floor when pulled down. Dapheni quickly identified the issue due to the light weight of the mattress. The carpenter promptly devised a solution by adding more weight and the problem was solved quickly. Very impressed.

Engaged Jeff from Swiss Interior for my kitchen renovation based on recommendation by a friend. Jeff was very meticulous in giving us some design ideas based on the style we were considering. Communication was easy and he made it a point to incorporate our needs into the design concept. We really appreciated his professional input as well as his honest opinions so that we could weigh the pros and cons before making our decision. During the renovation period, Jeff provided us with regular updates on the progress. He was accommodating and promptly responded when we decided to tweak our plan rather last minute to add in a dishwasher (thank you!). Works proceeded largely as per given schedule - there were some works that were brought forward with us kept in the loop and we were happy that the renovation period was shorter than first projected. The workmanship in generally is good and Jeff personally ensured that everything is in good order before handing over. Very satisfied with the work by Jeff and his team!

Jeff from Swiss Interior is an absolute gem! From the initial consultation to the final touches, Jeff's expertise and passion for design shine through. He listens attentively to your vision and then works tirelessly to bring it to life, exceeding expectations at every turn. Jeff's professionalism, creativity, and dedication make him a standout in the industry. I couldn't be happier with the transformation he brought to my home. I highly recommend Jeff and Swiss Interior to anyone looking for top-notch design services. 1. Initial Consultation: Jeff starts by meeting with us several times to understand our vision, preferences, and requirements for the space. He listens attentively to the ideas and mood board that we have created and takes note of any specific requests. 2. Concept Development: Based on our input, Jeff develops a concept for our home. This includes creating his mood boards, sketches, and 3D renderings to visually communicate his ideas and proposed design direction. 3. Space Planning: Jeff carefully plans the layout of the space to optimize functionality and flow. He considers factors such as furniture arrangement, traffic patterns, and the use of space to ensure a harmonious and efficient design. 4. Material and Color Selection: Jeff advises the best materials, finishes, and color schemes that align with our aesthetic preferences. He pays close attention to texture, light, and overall ambiance to create a cohesive look and feel. 5. Furniture and Fixture Selection: Because we have certain furniture that we have already decided to get, Jeff assisted us with our items to complement the design concept and fit within the space. He considers factors such as scale, proportion, and style to curate a curated selection of pieces that enhance the overall design. 6. Customization and Bespoke Design: For our own custom carpentry, Jeff collaborates with his carpenters to create cabinetry, and other bespoke elements tailored to our specifications and making sure it is feasible. This adds a unique and personal touch to the design. 7. Project Management (this is where he shines): Jeff oversees the implementation of the design plan, coordinating with contractors, suppliers, and other professionals to ensure that the project stays on schedule and within budget. He addresses any issues or concerns that may arise during the construction or installation process. Jeff was easy to communicate with and very responsive to questions that arise. 8. Client Collaboration and Feedback: Throughout the entire design process, Jeff maintains open communication with us at all times, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way. He welcomes feedback and revisions to ensure that the final result meets or exceeds our expectations. 9. Post-Project Support: Even after the project is completed, Jeff continues to provide support and assistance as needed. Whether it's addressing any lingering issues, providing maintenance tips, or offering advice on future design updates, Jeff is committed to ensuring the long-term satisfaction of his clients. Till date he has resolved several post renovations issues and we have been very satisfied with that. Overall it is truly a 10/10 experience with him and I'll highly recommend him to anyone.

I had a good time working with Jeff from Swiss Interior. Amongst the interior designers I have asked around, Jeff had been the most responsive and objective. Throughout the design process, Jeff answers all queries and provides objective suggestions. He will provide the pros and cons of selecting various materials, design concepts and layout. This allows me to make decisions that are most suitable for me and my family. During the renovation process, Jeff provides frequent updates and promptly highlights to me when there are issues or changes to the design are required due to site constraints. He is always ready to provide suggestions and recommendations that are most suitable for my house. In addition, Jeff is also open to ideas and suggestions and will readily provide objective feedback on the ideas and suggestions. Jeff provides a holistic interior design service from design, material selection, renovation to completion. After completion, he is just as prompt when there are defects. During the renovation, Jeff also keeps a tight watch over the schedule and makes sure that the work is done without delay. This has allowed me to move into my new place just as planned! No delay! Being a designer, Jeff takes effort to understand my design preference and the outcome of the design is exactly what I want. It is important for any home owner to create a space that is truly suitable for ourselves and Jeff is able to meet that. I highly recommend Jeff is you are looking for an interior designer. His professionalism, promptness and efficiency are key qualities any home owner needs in an interior designer!

I was worried when looking for an ID for my renovation cos I was ignored by IDs after knowing my unit is just one bedroom condominium. Luckily I found Choon Choon from swiss interior. She was friendly and it was comfortable talking to her. Soon after the first contact I engaged with her for my renov. She was responsive and thoughtful throughout the process. She was always accomodating my schedule from discussions to onsite visits. Although a small project, She took it seriously when helping me to design my house. She also provide me with many ideas and suggestions even on the furnitures. She was very patient with my tons of questions. If she was unsure she will try to find out. The renovation took about slightly more than a month and everything was on schedule. As I am always overseas, Choon Choon help me to monitor everything without me chasing her. The workmanship turns out to be satisfying. Some defects were in fact spotted by Choon Choon and she volunteers to do touch up or amendment for me as if it was her house. I was really happy with the outcome of my renovation and everything was beyond my expectation. Those who had came to the house all complimented on the design. If anyone wants to have a smooth nice renovation without much worries, i highly recommend Choon Choon.

We are a first time home owner with limited knowledge with regards to renovation. Like any other home owners, we enquired a few IDs, and ultimately it was an easy decision to have Jeff from Swiss Interior to be our Home Specializer. We decided on Jeff because he gave us the impression of being swift in response, friendly, knowledgeable. During the discussion of finalizing our design/theme for our house, Jeff was able to elevate our thought process, expeditious in giving out ideas and suggestions. He is able to create a balance between functionality and aesthetics, keen eye for detail was evident as well. Needless to say, throughout the entire project, Jeff maintained excellent communication, keeping us informed of our renovation progression, as well as addressing our questions and even last minute requests. We were also thankful that, he was able to answer our queries whenever we have questions while shopping for our home's needs. He is literally a phone call/text away, highly commendable. We are satisfied with the top-notch result of our house thanks to Jeff. He demonstrated unparalleled level of interior designing expertise. We won't hesitate to have him as our ID again. We are glad to have worked with him, to have a house that we can call home. Highly recommend Jeff from Swiss Interior to anyone who needs a professional ID.

I'm a first time homeowner and was working overseas when the house TOP. After contacting several ID companies to compare prices and service, I chose Swiss Interior because the Project Manager Catherine was the most responsive and communicated well, making me feel most assured that she would be on top of things even though I was not in SG. When the project started, we had a very short timeline of about 3-4 weeks because I was returning to SG after my overseas work and I hoped to move into the house immediately. During this period, Catherine and Designer Dapheni called me every night to discuss the designs and also to make the changes after my feedback. Dapheni was able to rush out all my requests in a very short time, and the designs were as per what I requested. Dapheni understood my design vision and made good recommendations on all items including paint, colours, aesthetics etc. She was also helpful and patient, and made me feel very comfortable and assured during the whole project. The project was completed punctually and I moved in on the agreed date. Even after the unit is handed over to me, both Catherine and Dapheni continue to be responsible, following up with me on any small pending items etc. Highly recommend for both of them!

We got to know about the Swiss Interior from Qanvast when Clarice contacted me. Among the 5 ID firms that responded through Qanvast, I found Clarice to be most eager and enthusiastic to work on our project. From the initial planning and preparation to the actual renovation and finish of the work, the entire experience was easy, smooth and thoroughly enjoyable. Clarice's expertise and design sense were evident through the project, and Sherwin has been good in the coordination and management of the project with the many vendors including a few external ones. Overall, we are satisfied with the quality of their work . Any minor defects that arose were promptly addressed and resolved, demonstrating their commitment to delivering a good end product. We are thrilled with how our condominium has been transformed to the warm and cosy home that we had envisaged it to be. Both Clarice and Sherwin have been responsive to our concerns and they have truly brought the vision of our home to life, and the final result is stunning. We highly recommend Clarice and Sherwin to anyone in search of a reliable interior designer and renovation team. Their dedication, professionalism, and talent make them a good choice. Thank you, Clarice and Sherwin, for making our condominium renovation a success! From Peter and Ginny

We worked with May for our 4-room HDB BTO flat's interior design and it was a positive experience. As it was our first time engaging an ID, May carefully guided us through the process and timeline. She would note down the dates that we needed to confirm certain aspects of the project, and when we needed to purchase our furniture/furnishing by. This was very helpful to us because we knew as long as we followed her timeline, the project will run on schedule. Her designs are modern and practical that met our needs. She threw in some complimentary works for us which we appreciated a lot. When certain works were left out by contractors, she was willing to rework on the invoice that we are grateful for. May also put in additional time to help us meet with the BSC contractor and receive deliveries at our flat when we were unable to be present. May was quick to engage her contractors and suppliers to make fixes where necessary, and saw through it. She sent us photos and videos to make sure we were satisfied. This lessened a lot of our worries. As most of the time we did not know what can or cannot be done, we would share our concerns with May and we knew she would help us with the solution. As we were only available on weekends, May was very accommodating to meet us on weekends. She is also very responsive to our text messages even during the evenings. May is reliable, responsible, professional, creative and trustworthy. We will recommend May to anyone who is looking to work with Swiss Interior.

Renovating a mall shop is never an easy job for many contractor because there are too many guideline to follow. We are glad that we have met Jeff from Swiss Interior! Jeff has presented many creative ideas to us base on our requirements for the new shop. He is a patient guy, never failed to accomodate to our request and at the same time trying his best to meet the requirements from the mall management. He is willing to go extra mile to solve our issues and taking extra time and effort to liaise with the mall management staff on our behalf! We are so fortunate to be able to start our operation timely and credits go to Jeff and his team! Highly recommended!

Had the pleasure to work with Jeff for our new BTO reno :) Jeff is very experienced and responsible. He provided honest and practical suggestions for our ideas. He taught us things to consider as it was our first time renovating, and provided advice on furniture choices to better suit our theme. Jeff is very flexible and responsive, and he frequently updated us on the progress of our reno. Initially we had to remind him a couple of times on the details that we had discussed, but eventually everything turned out well! He was also quick to rectify things we highlighted. Overall, the project was completed within expected timeline. Price was quite competitive. Our house turned out very similar to the 3D and we're very pleased! Have been recommending Jeff and swiss interior to other friends and colleagues who are planning to do reno :)

We really didn’t regret choosing Jeff as my ID and really grateful for the thing that he has done. Jeff is the second ID that took over my renovation somewhere near halfway of the renovation as we are having some issues with the first ID of the same company as the toilet tiling is kind of not aligned. We hope to get the renovation complete before CNY. Despite taking over halfway and the tight deadline, Jeff took the initiative to get the information with the previous ID and double confirm the information that he got from the previous ID with us. Jeff follows up very closely on the renovation process via phone calls and goes on site to monitor the process. He will take video to explain thoroughly if he foresee any issues that might happen or issues that happen and suggest us with solutions and backup plan if the first plan fails. He never fails to update us on the renovation process. Although in between, we encountered numerous issues from the very start of the renovation from first ID to Jeff, Jeff would definitely try his very best to resolve for us. Jeff is a really responsible, pro-active and helpful ID and we would highly recommend him and thanks him for the excellent service he provided.

Our toilets were run down and backyard layout was not optimised. Hence, we decided to renovate our unit. We wanted to have senior friendly toilets, better utilisation of kitchen and backyard space with brighter layout. We engaged Jeff from Swiss Interior to be our ID. He worked closely with us to come out with the design incorporating our requirements. He is patient and able to advise us when we were indecisive. He responded promptly to queries and resolved issues quickly. The project was completed according to plan. Throughout the project, we made some changes and added few items. Jeff was flexible and adjusted accordingly. Overall we are happy with the renovation and the services provided by Jeff.

Jeff is a professional designer who was able to advise us design ideas that met our needs and budget. He understood what we wanted as a family with young kid. Jeff is able to explain design concepts in layman terms which was great for us (design idiots). We call him Instant Jeff as he is always quick to respond to our queries, whether it's changes to quotation, or advise for furniture matching. Instant Jeff is extremely organized - a great trait to have as an ID. (We have met much worse) We chose Jeff as we connected well with his friendly personality from the first meeting and throughout the journey, he only proves our instincts were right! No regrets!

We had our mum’s HomeSweetHome handed over to us on mid October 2022. We are extremely happy and glad that we decided to go ahead entrusting Jeff Lau and his dedicated team from Swiss Interior Design to take overall charge of our renovation works. Let’s get started from the quotation. We had done our detailed price comparison with few other ID company and finally decided to go ahead with Swiss Interior Design. The quote offered to us was very competitive and for the amount of works that we had requested for it was very reasonable. Jeff was such a patient person who was able to accommodate to all our request and get things done in a timely manner. There were ample of phone calls which we had made to Jeff daily to enquiry on stuffs and he was always eager and ready to assist. We were always stuck with choosing colors and Material. With Jeff beside us it always helped and moving on with his idea turned out to be the prefect choice. As they say there is no such a thing as 100% prefect however Jeff was always on his toes to quickly work on hiccups or problems which came up along the way to get it fixed and work towards the 100% perfection mark. Our final product of our home was like an exact screen shot of our 3D drawing which left us speechless. Even after handing over of our home , Jeff after sales service is awesome. We contacted him for some minor defects and he got it rectified in a very timely manner. A message to all who are looking to go ahead with your renovation , if you are looking at getting an homesweethome please don’t hesitate to go ahead with Swiss Interior Design. A very happy and satisfied customers. Thank you very much for handling our home as yours Jeff. A great job done !

2022 updates We met Desmond Kho 6 years ago when he did our first home. Everyone who came to our house gave really good reviews. He is very professional and caters to all our needs. Even when we had problems he will find a way to help us solve it. I find him very genuine and he is like our friend. So as promised we got him to do our 2nd home. He has delivered our shared vision in this project that is quite a feat during the covid period. I am happy with our beautiful home. Swiss interior is lucky to have him.

We engaged Jeff Lau from Swiss Interior Design after approaching a few IDs. Right from the start, Jeff was very approachable, and would give us practical advice and suggestions based on our needs. He always remained contactable throughout the entire renovation, providing us with timely updates. He would ensure that he is present on-site on crucial days (e.g. hacking, tiling, plumbing). If there were any issues faced, he would always propose a suitable solution. His replies were always immediate, and he would always call to clarify and explain patiently to us if anything wasn't conveyed clearly through text. Even though our renovation has been completed for over a month, he still remains contactable and will promptly arrange for the relevant services for minor issues. We thank Jeff for giving us a fuss-free and smooth renovation experience.

Found Alex and Sheila a few months while shortlisting IDs. They have been very helpful even though I have not officially engaged for my new house. During the renovation, they make sure the house is worked on properly. They make sure to answer all my question (some of them really difficult and dumb). The team they worked with are also very friendly and helpful. As I am busy working, they really step in for me to make a nice renovation for my house.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff from the start til the end and it has been the best. Jeff was very accommodating from the beginning and he is always helpful and kind towards my enquiries. He reminds me of tasks I need to follow up on and is always ready to help out if we need any assistance. There have been times where I have asked him enquiries quite late because my schedule is such and he is always quick to reply and assist in any ways possible. I will recommend Swiss to anyone who comes to me after seeing the work done in my house.

After getting quotes from few ID companies, we decided to go with Swiss Interior (Jeff was the ID assigned to us) as we saw good reviews of Jeff and his quote was competitive among the rest of the quotes. He was not pushy and always work within our budget. From the first meeting till the end of the renovation, Jeff provided professional and good advice and coordination (even with external contractors), and met all our requirements. He was very responsive since day 1 and his response remained immediate even though the handover was completed and we needed help for minor touch up. Throughout the renovation, Jeff provided timely updates and progress proactively. When we face slight issue in the midst of the renovation, he resolved them in a professional, effective and positive manner. We are very happy with the service and workmanship provided by Jeff and his team, and happy to get our dream home come true. We will highly recommend Jeff to our family and friends, or anyone who is keen to look for reliable and professional ID that you can count on.

Showroom office at Sims avenue is well furnished and conducive for discussions. Benjamin is patient enough to modify our Quotations so we can work within our budget. Swiss interior also had enough manpower so the project is able to finish up before deadline despite the COVID environment in 2020.

We were searching for compatible Interior Designers from Qanvast and they matched us with Swiss Interior and our tag ID, Benjamin . (Fun Fact, they are the first and only ID we met and we felt comfortable with them instantly ) Benjamin were able to get the idea of what we were going for even though our explanation wasn't clear enough. He even pitched in some ideas which we used for our renovation. He is professional and knowledgeable with his work even up to date. He kept checking if everything was ok. Our renovation took awhile due to the pandemic, but with a proper time-line given by Benjamin, we were able to estimate the TOP date. He even go the extra mile to cater to our needs when we need an assistance with lightings, bathroom accessories and even air conditioning. (He has everything under his sleeves) Despite our busy schedule, he assist to liaise with the contractor and its hassle free for us. To date,even after handing over our house, his after sales service is top notch. Overall, we were very satisfied with our renovation journey with Benjamin and Swiss Interior and definitely recommend others their services to those who are searching for trusted and reliable ID

I have decided to go for Swiss Interior for my 4 room HDB resale overhaul. Benjamin Lee was the 6th ID I have met and after the first meeting, he was one of my top 3 choices. I was very clear that I did not want only a sales ID but also someone who has eyes for design and details. Eventually, he surpassed others and I chose him as my top choice. The renovation process took a little longer than expected due to materials shortage. But Ben tried to do whatever he could so that nothing was delayed further when the real work start. During the renovation process, he was detailed and patient. While I was busy at work, he took care the renovation and kept me updated via WhatsApp or phone call. Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend Benjamin Lee for any renovation work.

We highly recommend Melvin Yick from Swiss Interior. He managed to complete our house reno within the given time frame (in fact earlier than expected). We would like to thank Melvin for bringing us through the design process, selection of materials and tiles, to managing the project timeline to what was agreed upon and the final handover of the completed work to us. Although there are some minor problems during the reno, he managed to rectify them fast and gave us good advice. Recently we had some issues with our house wall. Even after 2 months from the handover date, he would still come to our place to check out the issue and propose what can be done. Really good after sales service from him. We are glad that we engaged him as our ID. For this, we are appreciative and thankful to him and his team of contractors for making our new house a home. We will not hesitate to recommend Melvin Yick to our family and friends. Wishing him all the best in his future projects. Cheers, Afiqah & Taufiq

Melvin was great in managing the timeline and being able to work around our schedule constraints. The quality of workmanship is great including carpentry, tiling works. Melvin’s suggestions are practical and yet do not compromise on aesthetics. Would recommend engaging Melvin Yick to fulfill your home aspirations!

ID: Sherwin Sim Period: 5-6 weeks I was matched with Swiss Interiors in my search for IDs from Home Reno Guru, I was quite happy as I've seen many of their previous work and I liked what I saw. Sherwin Sim was the ID assigned, and from the first meeting with him I was very impressed with the way he managed the meeting, listening to my ideas and what I envisioned for the space as well as making good recommendations. After reviewing with a few other IDs, I decided to proceed with him as the designs he proposed and well as the price point was comfortable and most importantly he was willing to complete within the tight time frame I had. I'm a project manager myself, and I must say I was very impressed with the way Sherwin managed the entire reno project. He provided me with daily updates (including photos), was very willing to patiently listen and answer my numerous questions/clarification, gave me suggestions on the go and at times helped me to purchase the items needed with my input. Even minor setbacks were managed in a timely manner. I think when you hire an ID, a few important qualities you look out for are design quality, communication, time and budget management and timely delivery and must say he excelled in all aspects and the entire process of going through the reno was must easier than I expected. He handed over the house with a very minor delay and I was able to accommodate that. Overall I am very impressed with his professionalism and creativity and will highly recommend him as an ID. Many of my friends who had seen my place have actually complimented the final result.

I would like to share our experience working with Sherwin Sim from Swiss Interior. We contacted a number of IDs to get a quote for our renovation. We found Sherwin to be sincere and non-pushy. We decided to go with Swiss Interior as the quote was comprehensive and transparent. As first time homeowners, we weren’t sure about the whole renovation process. We had a number ideas about the design of our home. Sherwin provided valuable and sensible suggestions and helped in choosing a consistent theme to provide the right look and feel for our home. He is a good project manager providing constant updates through out our renovation journey. There were some minor hiccups along the way, but he made sure that all of them were taken care. Even post handover, he is very responsive in arranging for resolving any minor issues. We are happy to recommend Sherwin to design and renovate your home.

Sherwin Sim was our assigned ID and upon our first meeting, we were pretty impressed that he was the only one who could make most of our desired house design come true. About 1 week later after comparing with other IDs, we chose him for his straightforwardness, transparency (on the quotation costs and additional orders costs whenever requested on our side for some design alterations in later stages of renovation) and most importantly, his trendy interior design! Trust us, you will awe at his steady drawing skills - they aren’t some rough sketches but clean, precise lines of drawings to better demonstrate his shared ideas with us. This was what made him stand out among other IDs we have been to previously. During the renovation, there was indeed some hiccups however they were resolved as quickly as possible with some delays due to coronavirus situation. We also handled other minor stuff on our own too. But the best part was when Sherwin stepped in to assist us with the ceiling light choices and introduced us to a nice lightings establishment, and man, no regrets ordering from that shop! He definitely gives the real stuff if you truly go for beautiful, modern design without much compromise on the pricing. So, guys, if you want a honest, direct, no hard sales, transparency, no sweet talk and EXCELLENT design for your home, Sherwin is the guy for you. A very sincere thank you to Sherwin and his team at Swiss Interior for creating our gorgeous house where we truly call home! Compliments were flowing in non-stop from our family members and relatives! Kudos!

I had an excellent experience with Clarice. I am an owner of a 5-room resale HDB and due to its old condition I need to do almost 100% renovation, and Clarice helpfully guides me step by step through my renovation experience. For my home design, I wanted an industrial style and I noticed that Swiss Interior has some portfolio with such design, this is one of the reasons for my choice, and the second main reason is Clarice's cheerful and friendly attitude. She highlights that the proposed cost will be different from the final cost from the beginning, especially when I want better and more durable quality for my renovation. Clarice helped to find the right furniture and design to create an industrial theme home and gave good suggestions on the kind of shelves and built-in wardrobes that suit the live style of my husband and me (especially when we requested built-in shelves for our action figures collection). We, fortunately, had our renovation at the end of the circuit breaker period, so the renovation was faster than predicted. We began in mid-March and the renovation ended at the end of May. Even after we move in, Clarice helpfully assist us with furniture touch-ups. Overall, we are satisfied with our ID, she really helped us design our dream home.

We met 5 IDs during our search. Candice from Swiss Int was the only diligent ID who took notes, worked closely with the points we sent to all IDs via WhatsApp. Though IDs could not give us a drawing, Candice could at least sketch what she had in mind on a piece of paper. After we selected Swiss Int, Candice was very meticulous and remembered all the points we talked about during the 1st meeting. Most importantly, she knows we are price conscious and worked closely with that principle. She would advise us against spending unnecessary money and proposed various cost effective solutions. Thus, throughout the design process, she will check in with us if we r ok to spend on certain items. In the end, we spent more money but felt we got more than what we expected. My wife and I are not the artsy people so we aren't good with expressing what we want. But she always seems to know what we want before we know what we want. Candice also has a capable assistant Jacy whom we can see support her with taking notes or reminding her of certain details. When renovation began, Candice managed her contractors like a pro. We can see she handles her contractors well and they respect her. It was a plus point because the renovation was in the midst of CNY and Covid, so there were some disruptions to the scheduled work. But we felt that the contractors gave her face and were always willing to make last minute changes or work Sundays to rush the work. Her assistant Jacy will also update us with pictures whenever a stage is completed. Swiss Int has a band of quality contractors and their works are of very high quality. As each phase of the renovation is complete, we hardly find any flaw. There were just a few minor things which Candice and Jacy responded very quickly with the contractors. In the end, we were very satisfied and happy with our home. We were glad we chose Swiss Interior and Candice/Jacy were assigned to us. It was a happy experience from beginning till the end (almost 5 months) and we will gladly recommend Candice and Swiss Int to any of our friends. They made the entire renovation journey very enjoyable n easy for us.

We chose Swiss Interior partly due to word of mouth and another being able to observe the workmanship on our relative's house. After receiving good inputs from them, we decided to approach this ID. Alex, who responded to most of our queries was keen to address our concerns with regards to our planned renovation. After choosing to go with Swiss Interior, we were then informed that Ray would be facilitating our renovation. At first we were quite concerned as we did not speak to Ray initially before choosing to go with this ID but in the end, Ray was pleasant in handling our project. Everything was completed without much issues. Ray ensured that our kitchen looked and functioned the way we wanted it to be, and are very pleased with his service.

Here’s a review of my ID Kerbe Started looking for reno company from Home reno guru in Nov 2020, only getting my keys in March 2021 Was given 3 reno company contacts, Kerbe was 1 of them and the only one who paid enough attention to details and what I wanted, the other 2, 1 cant be bothered to follow up from another well known company, the other had 2 ladies talking to me but didn’t help me visualise what I wanted and gave me layout plans that don’t make sense. Kerbe followed up with me all the way from the start till the day I collected my keys, was a blessing to have Kerbe as I had to move in by May if not my family and I would have to find another place to stay. Am very happy with the end result, there were minor reno hiccups along the journey but with proper communication and expectations, Kerbe was able to deliver as promised. Will recommend Kerbe and Swiss interior for anyone who needs to have their dream home done.

He also fol up with us promptly upon receiving of 4rm resale flat floor plan. He is generous with his ideas but not pushy which we appreciate. He listens to our requirements and is not afraid to provide good suggestions on the house renovation. He also updates us regularly on the progress. There were minor hiccups along the way but he's always quick to rectify and solve the issues. A reliable ID indeed.

Swiss interior did a very good job for our renovation. Our ID was Kent, he has put a lot of effort in preparing the design, organizing meeting and visit to multiple shops for the house. He was always available throughout the renovation. We did a full renovation of a resale condominium, the price was correct and we didn't have much surprise when it comes to changes. Of course, nothing is perfect, there were some delay especially for the carpentery work but this is mainly due to all the covid 19 restrictions imposed during this phase. The workmanship is also good especially the tiling works and carpentery using the top of the range such as Blum ... We definitely love our kitchen and bathrooms the most. Where everything is extremely functional as well as esthetic. Thanks a lot again for completely the job, Bruno

I had just completed my renovation and Kent is my ID. I selected a few coys during my initial search for ID and Swiss is one of the firms that reverted promply to me on initial quotation and proposal. As this is my first experience in renovation, I was pretty uncertain on what suits my dream house and Kent patiently guided me at the various decision points. I appreciated the efforts of kent in responding to my numerous clarifications throughout the renovation period. Kent also selflessly gave me many valuable advice on choices of furniture, lighting, accessories. Kent also went the extra mile to help me fix the washing machine tap issue when I moved over to the new unit. Am also satisfied with the carpentry workmanship and their quality choices of tiling suppliers. Overall, I am happy that Swiss is able to deliver my renovated unit with quality and at reasonable cost.

ur family would like to give a big thank you to DARRY LO from Swiss Interior for the great help he has been throughout our renovation journey! Darry was ever responsive and we especially loved how he was always quick to problem-solve and provide alternative solutions whenever problems popped up along the renovation process (as with all projects as we know). His reassurance and frequent communication with us really helped to keep the renovation journey enjoyable and fuss-free - especially when my mum is very anxious by nature, Thank you Darry for always going the extra mile - coming down frequently to meet us at the job site, sending video and photo updates & rectifying any issues we had! So satisfied with Darry’s service that we have recommended him to our relatives & our aunt’s new home will also be under his care

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Responsiveness, Value Moved into our new home today!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to ID Alex in making our home renovation a smooth & fuss free process. Humble and always paid attention to our needs while giving his ideas. Minor hiccup but was solved promptly. Very happy with how it turned out, no complaints. Comms was smooth, every detail and costing was communicated clearly. No bill shock. I wanted something minimalist, no fluff and easy to maintain. I'd say I got what I wanted and all within a reasonable price. Thanks Alex!

We met with 5 different IDs at the initial stage and Catherine impressed us the most. She is extremely experienced and knowledgeable: her first quote for us was highly detailed and she could tell us off the top of her head how much this and that would cost, what would work/look good, etc so that we were able to adjust our requirements to our budget. She listened to our ideas and suggested alternatives when she thought necessary. Throughout the inevitable small delays and hiccups in our reno, Catherine displayed a very accommodating, positive, can-do attitude: every time there was a problem that cropped up, Catherine informed us about it immediately, together with her suggested solution. Catherine also often went the extra mile to make our reno experience exceptional, right down to personally cleaning the interiors of our cabinets before handover. Thank you Catherine for your hard work in helping us renovate our new home!

We would like to compliment your interior designer Ms Catherine Ng for her efforts and hard work. Catherine is a very friendly, attentive and efficient interior designer. She is very experienced and knowledgeable. She could provide us with good practical advice, at the same time, a patient listener who is opened to our ideas. She would alert us to potential issues/challenges that our ideas may create and offer feasible alternatives as substitutes. Catherine is very responsive to our questions/requests, always ready to assist us with prompt responses even during late night, weekends and public holiday. She is also very hands-on with the renovation work, very often, we could see her doing a lot of dirty work like taking down curtains, cleaning up after contractors, sweeping away debris, washing kitchen sink, etc). This shows the amount dedication and passion she possesses in her work. Catherine is also very organized. She manages her team of electricians, carpenters and painters efficiently and all of them were well-coordinated during the renovation. Catherine constantly keep us updated on progress and ensure tasks are accomplished with quality and kept on track to meet the targeted hand-over date. Whenever there is issues or problems, she is responsible and honest to inform us and, at the same time, would take fast respond to find solutions to overcome them. Overall, the renovation experience was pleasant, and credit goes to Catherine, for the fuss free reno journey! It is employees like her that make your business a success and she deserve your recognition. Thank you and keep up the good work Catherine!

Swiss Interior had done a good job for our new home, kudos to our designer, Kent, for his endless effort. When we first comparing the quotations among several equal-scale interior design firms, we were attracted by Kent's design proposal and competitive quotation and hence decided to go for it. Regardless of our endless questions, changes of design ideas and even minor details such as skirting colour, handle sizes and numerous revision of drawings, Kent patiently addressed all our comments and provide his professional advices to us. During the construction period, Kent and his team helped us to solve any of the unexpected incidents (which is fair and definitely unavoidable due to Covid-19) soonest possible to avoid delay of handover and at the same time ensured the quality of the works. The workmanship of the carpentry works and tiling works are done very nicely, and Kent always helped us to check every single details of the works to ensure it was done correctly. Overall we were very satisfied with the end-product. Many thanks to Swiss Interior and our designer, Kent, for the wonderful experience !

Our renovation story started before we even got our house keys and we have been looking at Pinterest for the design we like: a contemporary dark but open design similar to a hotel vibe. Our requirements left a lot of IDs ponder whether they can do it within our budget, of course we are relentless. After 7 ID meetups, we are glad we met Kent at a Qanvast event, me and my lady have listed all our requirements (which includes minimal hacking, a double level kitchen cabinet with continuous wood pattern laminate, smart home neutral wiring, concealed projector screen, dark grey wall tiles with contrasting wooden pattern floor toilet tiles, seamless concealed switches within pocket door pantry cupboard, water inlet for water dispenser, kitchen cabinetry with smart LED lighting which has in-built dishwasher, oven and wine chiller. ) We are pretty OCD, be it tiles or laminate selection, trying to make everything look “flushed” or “symmetrical” as possible. Kent is very good and precise in measuring (key for being a good ID), he’s able to advise what is the right height or dimension for each of the furniture sizes to look for, e.g. electrical appliances, false ceiling lighting point, toilet accessories, carpentry. Designing a kitchen cabinetry with him is one of the most impressive, he suggested to us to have BLUM hinges for entire kitchen, a double layered drawer with utensils and pots/pans storage; for Pantry, a Hafele pocket door with Kompacplus top+ Backsplash and two layer black BLUM I4 drawer for alcohol / snacks storage. Besides that, he advised us to have tilted angled tiles instead of a “drop” at toilet. He’s very commendable for having patience to sit with us on a few occasion to advise us the cabinetry design for kitchen or electrical wiring design and that is when he starts to wear the hat of a sales person but appreciated for not hard selling. Of course, every renovation projects is unique and not 100% perfect, every project will always has its own unique challenges or problems, this is especially true during COVID-19 manpower shortage and demand in the renovation industry surged and we understand that. Therefore please expect some little delay for any reno projects(even other IDs). Important thing is that he’s able to complete the project and rectify all the problems that we’ve encountered such as tiles chipped or water leakage at wall or water blockage, he listens and help us ask the contractors to rectify the problems without delay. And knowing him, he handles multiple projects, I must praise his work as he spends time to listens to our feedback on design concerns and really advises us based on his experience on costing / rules set by HDB / technicality rather than play by ear. Hiring him is our best choice ever as we do not need to deal with any contractors, he arranges the work swiftly and rest assured it can be completed on time.

I went to survey around, with about 10 IDs before I decided to go with Alex Koh and I haven't regretted it ever since. There were a lot of things that I wanted to do but with my budget, other IDs just simply subtracted items from the list. However, Alex managed to work around it by helping to brainstorm alternative design ideas and advise on certain things I can get on my own to achieve my budget and look. Cost-wise, he was very trustworthy and transparent on the prices and add-ons beforehand so there is no worry at all about sudden hike up in the final bill. During the renovation, Alex was always available when I needed to contact him for feedback or queries so I have no worries lingering at all. Even after months of renovation, I can always count on Alex if there are some things that needs to be looked at again. Highly recommended!

Spend a couple of weeks in searching online for an appropriate ID and pricing/package to renovate and overhaul my kitchen. Managed to list out few IDs to visit and RFQ. Visited Swiss Interior showroom at Bukit Merah and met Mr. James Ooi, even though it was late in the evening but he was willing let us in and hear me out. Knowing that it was a small project in our first meeting, but he was very professional throughout the conversation in term on listening and proposing solution within my budget, new concepts and products/materials sample. It was an astounding experience, and I realized that “I found the right ID”. I was busy with work back then and my kitchen wasn’t ready for renovation as we were busy in preparing year end activities and family meeting. A month later, I decided to revisit Swiss Interior and James was kind of forgot about my previous inquiries, but his professionalism, friendly and positive attitude remains! NO second ID, NO second Quote! That’s it! I decided to engage SI and let them handle my kitchen! We are very grateful that SI managed to deliver on time despite all the challenges, shortage of manpower and all the problems were rectified in timely manners which put my mind in ease. James managed to maximize the space, integrate and improve the overall kitchen design of what I had in mind and the best part I like the most was the “KOMPACPLUS” countertop. MASTERPIECE! Carpentry workmanship, services and the most important aspect, the PRICING is very reasonable! These days it's hard to look for an experienced and promising ID who would deliver and complete the project at the time you agreed on. I would definitely recommend James from Swiss Interior as he is always contactable, responsible, and available whenever I have any questions in mind and he would follow up with his utmost effort and best solutions. Thank you so much, bro!

My husband and I engaged Swiss Interior for the renovation of our 5-room BTO flat, as they provided the best designs with reasonable pricing among the IDs we contacted. This was our best decision as the result turned out superb! Desmond managed our project, and throughout the renovation he was very helpful and was willing to advise even for areas outside of the renovation (eg. maintenance, cleaning, purchase of curtains -any questions we had, we would ask him and he would answer). Where possible, he would also help us to get better quality materials for things like our counter tops and aircon, and did not charge us extra for these "upgrades". Though COVID-19 made the renovation process longer due to safety restrictions and reduced number of workers, Desmond still tried his best and we were able to move in in time. Thank you Swiss Interior and Desmond for your hard work!

We went to Swiss interior after looking at many online reviews and requested for Ronnie. When we met, Ronnie introduced me to Hosen and we discussed about various ideas and they showed my wife and I some innovative ideas on how to save space. We have been to about 8 to 9 ID firms and found out that they were easy to discuss with. We signed with them, and has no regrets since. Both of them clicked well with us and are receptive of our ideas. They listened to our concepts, and then proposed good design ideas, and with no forcing at all. They gave us room to think and if we were not keen on their ideas, they were not forceful and instead, patiently re-proposed fresh ideas. They also are always ready to meet, and respond to our text queries even at nights. Their deep design knowledge is portrayed in the discussions, and that gave us confidence in the execution of the renovation. For the end result, they exceeded our expectations, and the finishing was good. Hosen really put his experience in the industry during our project execution. And please don’t worry about any rectification works if there are any, because Hosen will definitely make sure that the rectification works are completed correctly.

We did a 2 year research before we finally settled down with Swiss Interior to renovate our resale flat. They have an experienced team who understands materials and products well. They were not forcing us to buy a package. They really listened to what their customer needs. Their pricing was reasonable with good quality materials. It was important for us to understand the materials we choose and why it would be worth investing. Else, our ID would give us another alternative. Their service is curated specially for you and the budget you want to work with. I love it! There were no hidden costs as everything was fully explained to you. We are very pleased with our ID, Ronnie Goh. He has been instrumental in developing our ideas to life. He was professional throughout the entire project; listening and explaining all our needs and concern. We both enjoyed the entire renovation process from start to end. Ronnie was not afraid of colors which made us really excited! Even if there were problems in between (which are bound to happen), there was nothing that could not be resolved. Swiss Interior does not only practically renovate your home but they will be able to provide you tips and guide you on how you should style your home. Styling is the key to turning your house / apartment to a home. I cannot thank Swiss Interior enough for your hard work. All the materials the company work with are of good quality and are durable. Every single guest that steps into this house falls in love with our space and it makes us super happy to call this our home. We love keeping it clean we love to slowly add more decor to the space! This renovation has truly been life changing and has improved our life.

Mr. Desmond from Swiss Interior was our ID. When we met him the first time and shared our requirements, he understood them very well and took time to give us lot of suggestions / options and good ideas to finalise every item. He gave us a very comprehensive quotation with break up of each item along with measurements and within the budget we had mentioned to him. When the works were in progress, he gave us regular updates and was always available to discuss some minor changes/ additions. He was helpful to give us contacts of shops / companies to purchase various items and also came with us and offered good suggestions when we had to decide some key items. When we wanted to do some modifications to some furniture after they were almost installed, he did not make an issue and did his best to do whatever changes that were reasonably possible. The work was completed within the time he had initially told us inspite of lot of uncertainties / disruptions during the Covid period. During this journey we felt Desmond was more like one our family member and more than us, he was interested to handover the house in time and in perfect condition. He attended to all the minor works promptly without having to do any follow ups / send reminders. We found Swiss Interior to be a professional company and ID Mr Desmond a sincere and trust worthy person.

It was a pleasure to engage Clarice of Swiss Interior Design for our first home renovation project. Our project is a three bedroom new condominium. We decided to entrust our renovation project to her over other firms for the following reasons: - clear timeline communication and transparent quotation - Ability to convey her visualised ideas concisely with attention to details that meet our needs - Decisive when asked for recommendations and a real joy to converse with - Casetrust accredited firm Our decision to work with Clarice did not disappoint. Not only was she prompt in replying to queries after contract signing, but also accommodating to changes in requirements. She could even counter propose more suitable ideas for us to consider if changes were to be made. During renovation, she was on-site often and was excellent in overseeing and managing her workers. Updates were also frequent, providing ample reaction time for any unforeseen issues that arises. The result was project completion within schedule even though the period we engaged her spans across the entire Chinese New Year. The quality of work delivered was remarkable. The design and style we engaged Clarice to work on is Scandinavian themed. We have also consulted her about ornamental decorations for completeness and are very satisfied with the outcome of our project. We highly recommend Swiss Interior for their workmanship and quality materials; and Clarice of Swiss Interior for her project management skills, accommodating nature and decisiveness in her recommendations.

We were introduced to Jeff Lau from Swiss Interior by a friend, and he has given us a fuss-free experience from beginning till end. When we began the initial planning and negotiation processes, Jeff was very willing to accommodate our work schedule. He gave sound and honest advice to our requests, and provided economical alternatives without compromising on quality. Through the renovation phase, he was very responsive and quick to update us on the ongoing progress. Updates were always accompanied by photos or videos. He also put in the extra effort to coordinate with external suppliers whom we had contracted for other items. Post-renovation, he also remained as responsive as ever to coordinate the minor touch ups required, even coming on-site at times to ensure that everything was properly done. Jeff may not provide you with the cheapest quote - but what he will do is he will not overpromise you, and he will give you a trouble-free experience throughout. His timely response and his sense of responsibility is worth paying the premium for. We will definitely recommend him to any family or friends who are looking for renovation services. Thank you Jeff!

ID: Jeff Lau See handover photo below 1. Fast response & reliable Jeff is very easy to talk to and is an approchable guy. After meeting 12 IDs all over singapore, I choose his service. His reply is always super fast (within 5-10 mins) even when my house had technical problems during the renovation. You will feel comfortable when you meet him, he feels like a friend. I have experienced other renovation project managers before and they take hours or days to reply a simple message. When problems happen during the renovation, he wont shrink back after you make the payment, he will make sure he resolves the problem for you. This shows that he is sincere and genuine. Also, he save me from my own mistakes by giving me advice on color selections. Intially I wanted to have various colors for different parts of my house, but thanks to Jeff advice. He advise me to stick to 1-2 colors only to bring out the classy theme I want for the house. Sometimes, as home owners, you might overlook some blind spots and its best to have an ID who can help save you from your own mistakes. He also made a trip down with me to Blum to help me with the technical aspects and went the extra mile to get sample supply from my own supplier even though its not his supplier. So he is definitely a reliable Project Manager! 2. Highly skilled Electricians who resolve my LED Mirror Problem Very impressed with his electricians engineering/technical skills! I forgot to tell Jeff that my toilet tiles need to run electrical wiring for my LED mirror. After the toilet tiles were done, then I recall this. So "technically by right", my LED half moon mirror is "not supposed to light up" as there is no electrical wiring done in my tiles. However, his team of electricians think of smart ways to “engineer” my LED mirror to light it up even though there is no electrical wiring done in my tiles. This is absolutely impressive!! Big thanks to Jeff and his team of electricians! Unlike some other contractos/ID, they will just heck care and cannot be bothered since money has been received. So I’m very pleased and impressed by Jeff and his team that they are reliable, responsible and bother to think of creative ways to solve technical problems!

We would highly recommend Maybelle to home owners looking to renovate their flat. Maybelle has been meticulous, patient and welcomes questions throughout the entirety of the renovation. We also found it important that she would always listen and explore our ideas first before providing her suggestions. With any renovation works, minor issues cropped up along the way and Maybelle was swift to provide a solution whether the mistake was ours or hers. We truly appreciate that she was able to own her mishaps, provide alternatives solutions to ours and make positive changes from there. After handover, Maybelle and her husband, Jeff (also from Swiss Interior), came down to rectify and check the issues that we had with the flat and promptly arranged for the necessary contractors to come by. We appreciate that she took such care in her work as an ID. Overall, we had a very positive experience with Maybelle as our ID and have already recommended her to our friends and family. We would love to work with her for our future home too! Thank you, Maybelle for making our house a home!

I started speaking to several IDs on my current resale HDB flat before I came across Swiss Interior. I was attended to by Jeff Lau. Honestly I do not have a very clear idea of how I wanted my home to be. Seems like I like everything that I saw online without a clear concept plan. As I briefly explained my thoughts to Jeff, he understood my requirements and gave me practical suggestions to the planning. Jeff's speedy understanding and practical suggestions was the key reason that I decide to go with him. The 3D design and theme was just what I had wanted. Just some minor colour changes and materials in the cabinet laminates and it was good to begin renovation. Jeff has been very prompt and responsible in taking charge of the works and arrangement. He gave me constant updates by taking videos and photos in showing me how the progress had been. I think I have only been to the site twice from the start of renovation till completion. I did face some challenges though during the works. Some parts of the flat needs extra work to be done and this was only realised when they begin renovation works. Jeff then came up with great ideas and solutions. By far, it was very pleasant and smooth in communicating with Jeff. He is very attentive to details which led me into having great confidence in his project management. I have completed the handover in mid January just ready for Chinese New Year and Jeff made it happen. If you are looking for a designer who is trustworthy, able to understand your requirements well, responsible and pleasant to work with, Jeff Lau is the one you should look for!

Find the right ID to work with. I think it is very important that the renovation works are managed by a trustworthy person that you can rely on.

My husband and I engaged Swiss Interior for the renovation of our 5-room BTO flat, as they provided the best designs with reasonable pricing among the IDs we contacted. This was our best decision as the result turned out superb! Desmond managed our project, and throughout the renovation he was very helpful and was willing to advise even for areas outside of the renovation (eg. maintenance, cleaning, purchase of curtains -any questions we had, we would ask him and he would answer). Where possible, he would also help us to get better quality materials for things like our counter tops and aircon, and did not charge us extra for these "upgrades". Though COVID-19 made the renovation process longer due to safety restrictions and reduced number of workers, Desmond still tried his best and we were able to move in in time. Thank you Swiss Interior and Desmond for your hard work!

Know what theme or "feel" you'd like your house to have, do some research online - Pinterest is a great platform to search for inspirations and design samples. Show these to your ID, but always listen to their advice on what's possible as they know best. Throughout the renovation, keep tabs on what's going on and visit often to check on progress. Have fun and good luck!

Having a tight budget but yet wanting a dream home can be difficult. However both my partner and myself were so lucky to have met Jeff and I can say that he has made our renovation journey relatively smooth and enjoyable despite this pandemic situation. We engaged Swiss Interior and hired Jeff as our ID for many reasons: 1. He listens to our needs. Many IDs would just add whatever that we wanted without emphasising the issues that we may face. Jeff was the one of the few that guided us on the "wants" and "needs". 2. Meets our budget. Based on our "wants" and "needs", he managed to help us meet our budget!!! Isn't that great!!! 3. Meticulous and patient. During the initial phase of the renovation, like any house owners, we were lost with all the different material selections. Jeff will patiently explain to us the pros and cons for each of them. And in every renovation journey, there will always be hurdles. However, Jeff will always be there to help us resolve these issues. He will patiently explain to us the problems/issues and provide various suggestions for us. 4. Going the extra miles!!! I remember that there was shortage of a critical material for our cabinets. To refrain from any delays, Jeff personally went to search and bought these materials!! 5. No hidden costs. 6. Friendly attitude. Jeff is a fun guy to work with!!! I promise!!! Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Jeff for this wonderful journey!! Well done Jeff!!

Recognising an ID who is able to listen and understand your needs and be able to provide solution when issue arises instead of brushing it off. Good attitude is also a critical key for communication!!

Mr. Desmond from Swiss Interior was our ID. When we met him the first time and shared our requirements, he understood them very well and took time to give us lot of suggestions / options and good ideas to finalise every item. He gave us a very comprehensive quotation with break up of each item along with measurements and within the budget we had mentioned to him. When the works were in progress, he gave us regular updates and was always available to discuss some minor changes/ additions. He was helpful to give us contacts of shops / companies to purchase various items and also came with us and offered good suggestions when we had to decide some key items. When we wanted to do some modifications to some furniture after they were almost installed, he did not make an issue and did his best to do whatever changes that were reasonably possible. The work was completed within the time he had initially told us inspite of lot of uncertainties / disruptions during the Covid period. During this journey we felt Desmond was more like one our family member and more than us, he was interested to handover the house in time and in perfect condition. He attended to all the minor works promptly without having to do any follow ups / send reminders. We found Swiss Interior to be a professional company and ID Mr Desmond a sincere and trust worthy person.

We sent quote requests to a few firms and James from Swiss Interior stood out to us for his efficiency and responsiveness. What impressed us the most was how he suggested a new type of finishing for a certain feature we wanted that achieved the same look and at a better price which other ID’s could not do or did not know about. The prices quoted were reasonable and competitive too and breakdown was detailed and transparent. During the reno process, James was very accommodating to our requirements and responded quickly to our queries. He gave good advice and input such as aircon placement and hiding of trunking. He proposed a lip instead of a curb for our shower area and it made such a huge difference to the overall aesthetic. Small details like these that we would never have thought off were regularly suggested by James. Payment schedule and top ups for certain areas were conducted in a very relaxed manner and we never felt pressured by James. Work schedule seemed very fluid and adaptable and he seemed to have good rapport with his workers. Workmanship turned out great as well especially for carpentry. Due to Covid, his main carpenter had to soldier on solo but I don’t think workmanship was compromised. All in all it has been a great experience working with James and till now he is still responsive in touching up our home when we require.

Take your time to choose the correct ID/company. Read up on materials and finishing which will help in choosing the right materials for your home. Plan your space well.

Our ID was Jeff. He is trust worthy, knowledgeable, patience and non pushy. We gave him our theme, criteria and a collection of photo which we screen captured from other websites. He was able to bring all these together and came up with a design which amazed us. During the actual renovation, we have quite a number of last minutes changes. Jeff was patience and accomodated us. Not once, even till today when we informed him about defects, his friendly and can do attitude never changed.

We have been browsing through HomeRenoGuru searching for IDs who have done industrial-themed renovations and Swiss Interior happened to be one of our shortlisted IDs. Sent out a few enquires to a few IDs (including Swiss Interior) and decided to go ahead with Jeff right after meeting him, as he is very knowledgeable and approachable. What really left a strong and good impression was the fact that he offered to meet us onsite on our very first meet-up, and listened to our ideas, while offering his suggestions and advising us what was and wasn’t feasible. Jeff responded to us almost immediately whenever we ask him for updates or queries no matter what time it is. When he had doubts with the installation of the products that we purchased, he also did his own research as well as consulted us before installation. He was very hands on, even personally helping us with minor touch-ups around the house. Recommended Jeff to my MIL and she also engaged him to do her renovation as well. Really glad to have Jeff as our ID. He made the renovation of our first home such a pleasant experience. Even though there was a slight delay in the completion date for the renovation, it was still really well-managed by Jeff as it all took place during the pandemic period. Will definitely recommend him to our relatives or friends. Thank you Jeff!

During the CB period, I spoke with 7 IDs and Kent was 1 of them. His sincere and approachable attitude finally won me over and at the very last minute I decided to switch to engage him. From the start, Kent is very service orientated and responsive to my queries. He doesn't hard sell or talk big. He listens and tries his best to provide the design and ideas I want for my home, at the same time he will highlight to me areas which can be done better or pitfalls to avoid. Quotation given is transparent, reasonable and within my budget. Despite his busy schedule, Kent is always contactable, patient and doesn't shy from admitting his mistakes. Kent assured me they have workers ready to start on the renov once govt gives the green light and true enough, the renov was carried out promptly and completed within the time frame of about 8weeks. Even though there was some misunderstandings/hiccups in the process, Kent is quick to rectify the problems and remain professional in his job. After he hands over the flat to me, he continued to follow up with touch ups and maintenance works. Overall I'm glad for my newly renovated home and look forward to return to my solace everyday. I appreciate Kent in the whole renov process that my home is truly my home, not designed and done to another person's preference as I know some IDs can be very insistent in their designs and ideas such that the home after renov becomes their home and not mine. This is my 1st home renov and I'm glad to find Kent from Swiss Interior! :)
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Of cos life is not 100% perfect and smooth sailing, so is the renov process. I have learnt it will not be realistic to expect a perfect home with perfect workmanship after the renov regardless of which ID company you engage. But most importantly, Swiss Interior is reliable and provides a 5years warranty post renov. I think good chemistry with your ID is important, you must be able to communicate with your ID. Speak with a few IDs to get a feel of who and what you are comfortable with to entrust your renov project to.

We got to know Maybelle from Swiss Interior at the Qanvast Fair in Oct 2020. As we were first-time flat owners, we were unsure about the whole renovation process and budget required. After a few meetings with about 4 to 5 interior designers from various design firms, we decided to engage Maybelle due to several reasons: 1) Maybelle was very patient in answering all our questions and provided us with useful insights at our very first meeting. This was even before we expressed any interest in engaging her. 2) Even though our flat is a resale HDB with only minor renovations needed, we could still sense Maybelle's sincerity and professionalism from our initial interaction. 3) Maybelle was very meticulous and really listened and took down whatever concerns we have in terms of budget and design ideas. 4) She sent us a quotation by the promised date. It was a good sign that she sticks to her promises and schedules. Throughout the renovation process. We were very happy with Maybelle's work. She was very responsive to our messages and kept us updated daily on the progress of our renovation. With her help and guidance, we were able to solve issues that crop up during the renovation - this is especially common for resale flats. She also worked well with the sub-contractors to ensure things were done the way we requested. As a result, our renovation was done within our budget and delivered on the promised date. Even after the handover date, Maybelle was also readily available to answer any queries we had and even personally touched up some of the painting for us. We are really glad to have engaged Maybelle from Swiss Interior. She made our first renovation experience a very pleasant one.

This is my first considered major renovation on my resale flat which I been staying for more than 10 years. I had a few recommended IDs but I decided to choose Swiss Interior, mainly because of Maybelle, the ID who handles my renovation. Maybelle is very professional in her work and am very happy with the way she has communicated with me throughout the renovation process. My concept of this renovation is lots of space to store my things and Maybelle did it very well especially my kitchen. As this is my first renovation , she is very patient and even gave me so much advice to make my decision process so much easier. She even tried her best to work out around my budget. She is also very organized and accomodating. I would definitely recommend Maybelle and would look for her again if I am going for another renovation next time. Thanks Maybelle for the wonderful job!

My husband and I are happy with the way she has communicated with us all throughout the renovation process, and even after the handover. My husband and I appreciate how she coordinated the project smoothly and even roped in her husband, Jeff (who is also an ID with the company) to give additional insight, to drive us to the various showrooms and as an extra hand for helping us put up some furniture. We would recommend Maybelle as she is organised and detail-oriented. She tried her best to accommodate our budget and was able to recommend cost-saving suggestions along the way whenever problems about the house was uncovered. Our house is finally done and we are thrilled with the way it's turned out! Kudos to Swiss Interior.

We can see that he really work hard with his worker in the renovation. He was humble and knowledgeable and he always put our interests at his top priority. He was very experienced and was also sharp and meticulous in his stuffs. Throughout the whole reno, I was almost worries free as he would constantly update us on the progress of our Reno. He will however consulted us on our views and decisions when it comes to stuffs that were not confirmed earlier. I will definitely recommend his services to whoever person who needs Reno.

Kent was brilliant! I can safely say that my renovation project would not have been completed at the speed and quality that was achieved without his dedication and inputs. He has a very personalised approach to his clients and projects and is very reassuring. He listens to my ideas but is also quick to identify potential flaws and issues that might crop up in the future. I love the way in which he is able to illustrate the solutions to potential issues such that the wife and I can easily understand. One of my pet peeves is when I cannot get people on the line, and I never had that issue with Kent. If he did miss a call, I always knew that he was probably with a client and would give me a callback in the next couple of minutes. I honestly believe that all of this is important when you are engaging in a massive renovation project. You really do not need any more stress in what is already a very stressful situation. the thing with Kent is that you can depend on him which ensure that you can actually go about enjoying the process. He has never scaled back on the quality and is ever so professional. I have recommended him to my friends as well, all with glowing references. All future projects of ours will definitely be with him! I suppose that is the best compliment I can offer Kent for his brilliant work ethic, knowledge and skills.

Whenever one mentions ‘renovation’, Kent from Swiss design comes to our mind. This in fact, is our second gig with Kent. We did our HDB renovation with Kent 7 years ago, and Kent has been taking care of us since then. Kent handled another recent renovation of our condominium flawlessly too. His professionalism, and meticulousness are top notch. It’s often that he could remember every single detail that we emphasized on, though we as house owners even forgot at times. On top of that, he always takes the costumer’s side, advising us constructively over practicality, durability and cost of the different choices we have to make along the process. He follows the budget proposal strictly and sees the whole project from the beginning to beyond the end. Even after the house was handed over to us, he still responsibly carries out maintenance/touch ups all the way into the warranty period. I have complete trust in Kent, referred him to many of my friends, and all my friends who used Kent’s service were happy to refer him around too!

The whole renovation process is so smooth. From planning to choosing tiles and colours, she is very patient with the fickle-minded us. She would share with us her experiences and give great advices. The quality of the materials used are good. As we had our previous home renovated by someone else. We totally understand what are the differences Swiss Interior offered. Her service does not stop after handing over the completed flat to us. Her follow up services are prompt. She will never failed to reply our questions and issues we met even after the renovation is completed. There were times that we weren’t free to be at home during renovation and she’s there for us!

Highly Recommend Our lovely (ID Catherine). We are extremly impressed with her work piece done, it was so beautiful, cozy and accessible.
Some of the ID will look down when you say that you are on budget. Everybody know most of the places are pushy on sales. She gives us warm heart feeling and was so kind and understanding. IT DOESNT HARD SELL!!!!
At first, we had too many designs in our mind and sometimes people just want their home to be pefect yet due to space was not practical. The process of choosing was tedious, especially we doesnt have any experiences. Along the way of matching the laminate for cabinet, kitchen and wall feature colors was so difficult due to matching.
Hence she help us to sot it out our ideas in mind with her knowledge given, which leads us to find our ideal theme. We are so lucky to have Catherine, she was reponsible, extremely professional, willing to go extra mile service, being friendly and attention to detail, even a minor defect from HDB she also look out for us. She assist us by engaging a group of contractors was so fantastic in their hand skill work.
In additional, she suggested accessories that are on trends which gives us more choices which help us save space, gives whole house look more spacious and easy access.
Through out the project, she co-ordinate with all the contractors eletrical, city gas, carpentry, painter and bring us to lighting shops. Happily shopping together and purchase goods that match the theme. She always keep us update with the progress in whatsapp, well communicate and it takes off my anxiety when approach her for enquiry.

Would you recommend this Interior Designer and why?
In my opinion, a good ID should have a good eye for design (A+ to Catherine for this!), be hands-on, responsive and diligent. They must also be able to multi-task, deal with unexpected issues calmly and have the creativity to think outside the box when required. In these regards, Catherine has met all these criteria and then some. Not only did she stick to the rather strict time frame we gave her, the quality of work is superb too. The whole renovation journey was made extremely smooth and enjoyable largely due to how organized and diligent she is. Updates were always done regularly which resulted in a worry-free renovation. Throughout the process, you can tell that Catherine genuinely cares about providing the best possible work and to fulfill the renovation goals of her clients. This personal investment is highlighted in these examples: 1) When our furniture from TB came much sooner than expected on a Sunday, Catherine took the initiative to come down to help us with the sudden delivery without even being asked to. 2) Before signing with Swiss ID, we actually signed with a direct carpenter for wardrobes and direct carpentry. Despite those things not being under her purview, Catherine still provided us with design ideas and advice to make sure our carpentry turned out as well as possible. The advice also proved invaluable in helping solve some hiccups with the direct carpenter. 3) As with all renovations, problems and rectifications are to be expected. Catherine never once shirked her responsibilities for these issues and always addressed them promptly and thoroughly. Of note, some of our tiles had warpage and Catherine did a fantastic job coordinating with the supplier and her tiler to replace all the warped tiles. 4) Despite the handover being done, Catherine is still prompt in responding to our queries and doing any necessary follow-ups plus rectifications. The aftersales service has been great. 5) Most importantly - all of her subcontractors were hardworking, provided quality work and were able to execute our vision impeccably. Not only, they are easy to talk to and were extremely courteous. A big thumbs up for them too! Overall, it really was a pleasure working with Catherine and her workers! I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend Catherine to anyone looking to renovate their home - you'd be hard-pressed to find better value from another ID. Thank you so much Catherine and Swiss Interior!

Definitely We will recommend Catherine and Swiss Interior. We wish to thank our ID Catherine on the successful completion of our unit. We are very satisfied with the awesome design in consideration on fine details of our needs in the design specifications and the 3D perspectives. Amazingly, the results have been delivered as very close to the planned 3D views in the dining and kitchen areas, thus certainly well exceeding our expectation. She managed and coordinated her workers and subcontractors very well, and completed the whole project as scheduled. We appreciate her prompt update on the works ensuring that we were always aware on the progress and expected tasks. The original state of my HDB resale flat when I bought it, was an outdated interior design done 21 years ago, and thus it wasn't an easy project to accomplish a total makeover of the home and transformed to a fresh and modern interior design settings. Also, we are particularly happy with the fine and quality works delivered specialists in carpentry, tiling, quartz and glass works. With her advice on the choices on the laminates, the results on the carpentry works are very well mixed and balanced. We are glad that she followed closely to our geomancer's recommendation on the desired colours and layout, and by her creative ID skills, delivered to us the beautiful home that we really like. Thank you Catherine

Would you recommend this Interior Designer and why?
I can highly recommend Swiss Interior. We worked closely with Hosen Gan when renovating our three-bedroom HDB and had a wonderful experience. We bought an old fixer-upper, had a limited budget but very specific ideas and expectations, and Hosen delivered exactly what we wanted. Our house looks beautiful! Communication was always very easy. At no point did we feel we were being taken-advantage of. Everything was done on-time and within budget. Hosen was great with last minute changes and coming up with ideas to get what we wanted without going high over estimated cost. He has also been great with handling the few minor repairs and corrections that come after any complicated project closes. I will definitely use Swiss Interior the next time we renovate a property in Singapore.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Come in ready with some at least rough ideas of what you want, what type of budget you have to work with, and the type of furniture and art work that you already have. It will really help the ID to understand your tastes and needs.

Overall value for money. Workmanship is good surprisingly. Although there are some disagreements and schedule issues along the way, everything is handled professionally. We are very satisfied with how ID convey our kitchen flooring concept to the tiler. We also changed our kitchen laminates once and ID got carpenter to finish up and accommodate quickly.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Have a specific design and theme in mind and ask for more pictures before start work. What you can see on samples will not be the same as the actual thing under natural light. Do not afraid to ask for more samples until you are satisfied. Plan your schedule properly if you are engaging different groups of people i.e flooring, door man, painter.

Provide ID with sample designs so that they can understand what you want. Constantly check with ID on what are the things you need to prepare such as home item measurements (i.e. fridge, washing machine, hob hood, sink etc). Ask for ID advise on what is feasible and best option for your design, such as drawers, electrical points etc. Give some space for workmanship flaws or design and work towards making it closest to what you want.

And more importantly, issues that I brought up were resolved swiftly and effectively.

Do your homework and have a clear plan and budget in mind before starting. And go with a designer who thoroughly understands your expected outcome, right down to the fine details.

Yes. James Wong has provided me with quality service and good design and carpentry workmanship. He has done a great job in handling my BTO flat renovation. He coordinated my renovation smoothly and proved to be very competent in his role. Whenever I was not certain about any processes or had any issues with the Reno works, he was always around the site and easily contactable to answer my questions. The subsequent follow up services to complete these little touch ups needed were also quickly addressed without delay. I am very happy with the results and would like to pass my thanks to him and his team for a job well done.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
I would definitely recommend them to do some research before engaging an ID Firm. There are many things to consider before you begin your renovation works. In order to achieve the interior look you are going for, you need to understand the processes and costs involved before you start. For those homeowners who want peace of mind during the process, please do not hesitate to refer to some good ID contractors who can advise you accordingly and deliver smooth renovation. The above (James Wong) is who I highly recommend.

Firstly, know what you want by looking at magazines etc. If not, this is going to waste everyone's time if you are clueless or indecisive. Work with a company whom you know and trust, word of mouth is always best. Be realistic with timelines and budget, work with what you have. Lastly, communicate well with the ID and ensure all are on the same page. Picture is always the best, or at least some drawings. Its like a haircut - don't expect people to know what's going on in your head.

I would gladly recommend Alex Koh to anyone who wished to have their home renovated with least worries. The reason why I wrote this review 3 months after I moved in is because I wanted to give a true review on the after-sales service as well, which is a very important component for all renovations IMO. Alex is a very responsible, honest, patient, obliging and accommodating ID. When I first engaged him, he doesn't "count beans" in his quotes. His quote to me included more items which are not covered by other quotes I got from other IDs, yet it is still the lowest quote I got. During the renovation period, Alex would track the progress and update me weekly, and will let me know if there are any issues that required my attention. Most of the nitty-gritty stuff he will settle for me to my satisfaction, without my intervention. There will definitely be defects after all renovations, mine wasn't spared as well. However, Alex is very prompt in getting the defects rectified. The handover of the house was very smooth. There were a couple of other defects that surfaced after my family moved in. However, Alex is still very responsive to my feedback and have helped me to get those defects fixed within reasonable schedules. Alex is very proactive and is always willing to do beyond his scope of work to please his clients. I would like to thank him for getting my new house so nicely renovated. :)
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Always do your homework and get and get couple of quotes for comparison. Read others' reviews to have a better understanding of the quality of work delivered by renovation companies. Lastly, get the correct ID and you will have the least worries. :)

Would you recommend this Interior Designer and why?
Yes. Definitely. In fact, I have already introduced him to some of my friends, who had also engaged his services. I am so glad that a friend of mine had introduced me to Ronnie of Swiss Interior. A very humble, patient and responsible person. He listened to your needs, bounced off ideas with you, and conceptualized it into a beautiful outcome. Working with him was a breeze No doubt, minor hiccups did happen along the renovation. Many IDs/ contractors get offended and defensive when such situation arise. Ronnie was just professional, no signs of displeasure. Instead, he immediately got things rectified and resolved with no second opinions from him Being not able to be in Singapore most of the time during the renovation period, initially I was worried if the entire renovation will be completed smoothly. He had proved that my worries were uncalled for. He accommodated my timing and managed the entire house renovation well. Couple of occasions, when I dropped by my place, I saw him making his rounds, checking the progress of the works. His “after payment” service was equally good. No nonsense like “no- show or no- answer call” attitude. I have asked him to touch up my place after my full payment, he was still as responsive as before. I am planning to do some renovation works at my parent's place, without any second thoughts, he will be my first option again. Highly recommended. Extremely responsible and responsive. Honest. Reasonable pricing. On time. Quality workmanship.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
First impression is very important. Trust your gut feel and instinct. You got to be comfortable with the person. After all, you are going to be working with him closely in the next few months and definitely not a small monetary amount is involved. Low quotes are attractive. Nevertheless, you got to be practical and realistic. You got to pay a little more for quality materials and workmanship. Importantly, you must do your homework and find more quotes. I bet you after meeting 3- 5 IDs, you will be familiar with the numbers and renovation lingo. Talk to them, ask questions on the materials they use. Be intrusive of the quotes they provide. Scrutinize line by line if you do not want a “surprise”. If possible, use IDs/ contractors that friends’ recommended or had engaged previously. Ask to view existing project if they have. Google. Read reviews. Scout more. Knowledge is powerful.

I was looking for good ID to convert back an office back into residential. Compared 5 quotes for quality, design taste & price. Ronnie emerged the best in all. All followed through as expected with satisfying final result as in the photos enclosed. Ronnie worked very closely & patiently with me, to design out a foldable feature wall. Now my investment property has a choice of converting into 2 bedrooms or 2 big living rooms anytime within seconds. Nice, practical & comfy. Just like all renos I have gone thru, minor hiccups from workers are expected. However Ronnie is very responsible & responsive in getting them all right again.

Gave her a tight schedule of 1 month, but she completed it in 3 weeks. She's at the new place more than I was, at every step of the process.You can trust her and Swiss Interior to build your dream home. I have no regrets engaging Catherine.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Go to the ID past projects, feel the workmanship and tile's work. Speak to the owners for feedback on the ID. Give ample time to shop around, and tell the ID you expectations.

Yes, definitely. I was looking for a renovation company and happened to chance upon Swiss Interior. They had lots of good reviews online and I decided to approach them. My initial meetup with Alex went very well. He was patient, sincere and upfront with his quotation. Throughout the renovation project, Alex was readily available and he even extended a helping hand in selecting tiles, kitchen and bathroom finishing. Alex was forthcoming in dishing out good suggestions and advice as well. He was also very obliging when we had to make some changes to our design. During the last stage of the project, he ensured all defects were corrected as soon as possible too. I would definitely recommend Swiss Interior to my friends.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Due to the endless choices in each and every stage of the renovation, it would be much easier to decide on a particular colour or design if you already have a theme in mind. At the same time, be open to new ideas and suggestions as well as they may turn out to be much better than what you expected.

I would definitely recommend James to anyone. So far everyone whom I have recommended James too thanked me for the recommendation. Like me, my referrals were all amazed by the level of detail and clear explanation James would always give for options we wanted. James has always been very on the ball and promptly reply to any emergencies. He is also highly available whenever we need him for anything. He is often very patient with us. My husband and I are highly particular (you have no idea) and we know it. We have lived in the renovated place for 3 months and there were things we discovered we didn't like or some things we realize needed some changes our touching up. James would arrange his contractors to come fix all issues right away. Did I also mention we selected him out of the 16 designers we met? Swiss also has a wide range of selection of anything you need. Just laminates for carpentry alone we had 6 catalogs.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
When selecting the laminate for your carpentry, always request for big samples of your shortlisted choices. It is very crucial. The small piece samples often may not have the desired effect you imagined.

He is very patient and down to earth, no flowery words, no over promise. He very accommodating and gave alot of good advice to guide me along the renovation journey.

During the renovation, everything has progressed as per schedule table provided. I appreciate his professional and honesty in this renovation project. I am pleased by his promptness respond in various request that I have, whether it is big or small, he always try to help with no delay and no black face. Even after handover, he still provided his services upon request. I must say I’m very impressed and satisfied with the work and services he provided. And Yes, I definitely will recommend Ronnie from Swiss Interior to my friends and family.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
It will be good to know which type of finishing of your future home want to be before approaching Interior designer. For example victorian or scandinavian? As well as colour scheme. This help you have a guide on what type of furniture to get and match the theme well etc…Best is renovation done according to your personality and lifestyle because every house is unique! Most important is engage a good and reliable ID or contractor. Don't just compare on the price but also on the materials and workmanship. Ask for a break-down of the amount of individual items, dimension and materials will be use, as well as finishing for carpentry work etc… In this case, you will know what you were quoted for, also easy to cross check and cancel items that you do not want. Avoid paying a lump sum before the project commences. It should be progressive payment according to progressive schedule instead, because this will ensure that work on your home is completed in stages and you can pay your ID/contractor for every 'achievement' unlocked. After you've verified that everything has been done to your satisfaction, of course. If you're uncomfortable with the payment terms, you may want to negotiate with your ID/contractor to see if you can reach a compromise.

I would recommend this interior designer. The designer was very friendly and helpful. He gave us ideas on how to improve on our plans and also was very accommodating when we had our own views. He was able to also save us some costs by alerting us on the designs that were not necessary. For example the extra laminated interior in the cabinets and cupboards. The designer also did not force any of his links when it comes to choosing lights, kitchen and toiletries items. He gave us our freedom to choose some from other shops too. He will also entertain our calls at any time of the day. Ronny also came back a few times after the renovation to answer our queries. He was in fact very pleasant. His work is very clean and neat. He was able to complete the renovation within the stipulated time frame. Overall a pleasant experience working with this designer.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
To future home owner, Please make sure that every renovation detail is indicated clearly and precisely. Along the way, changes will be made, & your ID will try their best to accommodate it if the change is made beforehand. Take your time to decide on the layout, laminate colours, tiles, paint etc and discuss with your ID about it. Timeline is very critical to all homeowners, you need to make it clear to your ID when you will require the renovation to be completed, they will then advise you whether its possible. Usually it will take around 4-6 weeks depending on the amount of work involved. Take note that this is the start of the renovation works. Planning and deciding time frame depends on homeowners. A good ID will always be responsive, just like Roony Goh from Swiss interior. You will need to look out for quality workmanship as well, this can only be checked by looking at the ID’s previous projects & word of mouth.

I would recommend this designer as he was thorough on the work, and listens to my design request and inputs. He also follows up on any areas done not to my satisfaction and see to it being rectified. With a wide selection of supplementary options available (tiles, counter-tops, glassworks etc), he helps us to focus and narrow down to the items that would suit our design needs.

Come with the rough concept in mind. They may draw and generate an artist impression of your future home, but by knowing what you want in your home, you can ask them to make the necessary changes to the artist impression, and getting your actual product at the end of the day. Once a design is firmed up, stay committed to it. Constant changing of designs is a frustrating process for both IDs and homeowners. Good idea to visit your site with the ID one last time before any work commence so as to be sure that everything will be going to the right places.

It has been a great pleasure working with Ronnie Goh of Swiss Interior Pte Ltd. He does not give you the feeling of a typically pushy kind of designer, but a humble and honest person who first listens patiently to what we want and need, how we want the reno to be done and then provides us with his practical ideas and opinions in order to meet our needs and budget. He is also very open in accepting our 'rejections' and always patiently and swiftly comes back with more ideas for our consideration. He will also try to find ways to accommodate our suggestion in such a way that it still matches the overall concept. Of course, he will also tell us frankly when an idea does not work. We just wanted something simple for our house and of course we were very satisfied with the overall renovation, quality and workmanship. We have also recommended him to people around us and do hope they are as satisfied as we are!
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
We would suggest to future home owners (especially 1st timers) to first have some ideas in mind how they want their home renovation to be done and also the budget available, before meeting up with any contractors or designers. Do not hastily make any decision on which designer to choose. If possible, meet up with a few different designers & find someone who can give you good advices and not about plainly wanting to earn your money. A lot of things cannot be determined just by meeting up with the designer / contractor. If possible, it will be good to request to view 1 or 2 projects that they have completed in order to determine the quality of work. You want a home that you will feel happy and comfortable to live in. So the first thing is to have a good designer / contractor and everything will fall in place.

My designer is a very easy and accommodating person. He is always contactable and open to discussion. His response to us is always honest and genuine. He will provide his expertise comment if our request is feasible within our cost budget and home layout. Engaging a interior design not only look at their design concept but most importantly is the chemistry between the home owner and the designer becos these 2 parties need to work closely to communicate ideas across and ensure both parties clearly understand each other requirement. Only then it will have a harmonious relationship and the design will turn out expected. Fortunately enough, i met 1 good one and me and my husband are happy with our design.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Always ensure to communicate early and ensure everything is documented in some written format. This is to avoid any future conflict when things turn out differently. Be reasonable with your request. Although it's common to negotiate price as low as possible but pricing going too low does not guarantee good quality and workmanship. Therefore, do some research on the quote with a few contractor and work the price from there. Lastly, make sure your designer keep you constant update on the renovation work and constantly check on the workmanship and design before it's too late/ to make amendment.

He is able to pass the information and share with his clients on what is good for them. He also works late to cater to his client schedule for the meet up and updates to the client. As first time home owners we bound to have changes and new idea along the way, Jason has been patient and giving helpful suggestions to achieve our desired concept of our home through the matching of colours for the walls to the furnitures. After moving into the house we had some minor hiccups, but this was well coordinated by Jason with his team to follow up to the completion of works. We are very pleased with his work attitude and his after sales service.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Future homeowners need to know the theme of their home, from the living room to bedrooms and kitchens. They will need to decide the theme to match the necessary home furnitures. They also need to work out their budget for renovation and discuss with their interior designer. This will give the designer a better idea on what to work on. Look for a reputable interior designer firm with good track records and look through their portfolio. Homeowners will also need to specify their preferred timeline of construction as this will allow the designers and contractors to handover in good quality. Regular visits to the renovated apartment can also give the owner a better idea of the works and progress on site. They should also check worksmanship upon the completion of works such as tiles, cabinet hinges, leakage of pipes, electrical cabling and lightings. Ensure that you keep in close contact with the interior designer after the work completion as they will be assisting you every now and then should you need their assistance.

Yes, Ronnie is very frank, honest and inform me the deposit amount range from 3 sessions and he did not asked for 100% deposit which can happen to some unethical salesperson whose prompt repsonses become late or no reply. Ronnie is prompt and punctual in every appointments. He advise me on the type of materials used for my kitchen and wardrobes. The materials are accepted and the end products and workmanship meet my expectation and timeline. He provide excellence customer services. Quality workmanship and acceptable completion timeframe with reasonable prices. He has continue to provide excellent customer services even after the completion hand over. He helps me to install a plank shelfing which I have bought elsewhere and installed it for FOC. Ronnie is unlikely some of the ID salesperson whom I met who seem genuine in wanting me to engage in his service but with hidden cost and is not flexible to cater to my need. I choose Ronnie because of the referral from trusted source. My friends have lot of praises about Ronnie beside being a good sales person but a truly friend who assist in their needs.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
My advise is not to place 100% deposit to the salesperson as it can cause some of the unethical salesperson to delay responses. Timeline agreed beforehand can be delayed due to contractors taking more projects and is not flexible to cater to all unforeseen circumstances. Client need to discuss and advise on the type of materials , end products and workmanship before engaging his services. Client need to be assured that the material accepted and the end products and workmanship meet their expectation and match with their budget. Be out front on the agreed prices and no hidden cost. Be sure that the company and ID are referrals from a trusted source. Don’t get anybody from the local papers, the yellow pages, a sales leaflet or a tradeshow. Don’t go for blind date, because you don’t want to deal with any surprise and disappointments.

A good interior designer is not just designing, his expertise lies in those design that we pick could end up an hassle to daily lives or cause inconveniences when it comes to reality. Our ID - Jason, always try his best to fulfil our likings and cater very near to our taste. He also supervise the work and update us timely, even when there's delay, we will not be last to know.

Those that stay far from your future home, will be good that you have an ID that can supervise the work for you. ID like Jason, not only gives advise, he also propose the design according to your needs and budget. of course, more budget means nicer and flashy outcome, but that also depend on the designer. Some can turn out to be simple but at a a very high price tag due to the materials the ID chose. A well planned and properly choose materials are necessary to keep within the budget, avoid using the weakest material and highest grade material are actually not always necessary.

I engaged Ronnie as my ID back then. I was recommended by my sister as she also engaged Ronnie to make do her dream home. Ronnie is a easy to dealt with person and he will listen to your design and will try cater to your needs. He will render his advise if there is a conflict in your design as we sometimes tend to over design it. He is not like other ID where will push you to sign an agreement with them just to secure the contract. He is also a very patient ID where my wife & me change out the layout of our design several times. He will happily change the design until we are fully satisfied then the renovation work started. He kept updating me on the schedule on what is going to happen on the renovation period in order for us to keep track on the reno works done. Upon completion of the renovation works, we are greeted by Ronnie to our newly renovated home. All went well. Month went by and we saw some minimal defects on the carpentry works. To be honest, NO ID carpentry works are perfect. There will be minimal defects here and there. But the best of this ID is that, he is a call away. You call him, the next day, his men are at your doorstep ready to fix the defects. Not like other ID that was experienced by a friend of mine where he called his ID about some defects, and the ID tries to sneak a way out not to replace the items. I am most Satisfied with Swiss Interior Design. They deliver quality works & aftersales services. Keep it up Ronnie & Team !

New home owners should be vary of the type of ID that is engaged. Seek from a trustable company. Most of ID will only cater to your reno needs but will left you hanging when claiming defects. Date of completion for the new home renovation is also important as from past experience of friends, some ID will take their own sweet time to complete the task or worse still , will come out excuse to delay the reno. 3D drawing and sketch is important as it will help us oversee the design created by the ID and see if it meets our expectation and like the design.

What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Renovation could be quite stressful especially when finding the right people to work with whom you can trust and feel comfortable with. It would be a good start to have recommendation from friends or reading through renovation forums for contacts. Be clear on your priories like time, budget, design and quality. Look through carefully the quotation for the materials used and read carefully the terms and conditions before signing the dotted lines.

Yes, I would recommend Swiss Interior to my friends and relatives. Jason takes his responsibility seriously and is eager to make sure everything is well-taken care of down to the smallest detail of making sure there are no scratches in parts used for renovation. When we give him calls to clarify our doubts, he is quick to give us a response. More than being task-oriented, he is also very charismatic and friendly in nature!

My spouse and I got to know Jason through my cousin and receive good feedback from him. Hence, we decided to visit his place to check out the workmanship before we meet Jason. He was easy to talk to and could understand what we wanted, we felt comfortable with Jason. After some comparison, we decided to have Jason to help us with our renovation. Jason’s quotation was detailed with individual cost breakdown and definitely value for money. He pay attention to the tiniest details and provide great solutions to our queries. Initially, we were worried about insufficient storage space in our odd-shaped kitchen and it’s layout. With Jason’s expert advice, we manage to decide on the layout and maximise the storage in the kitchen. It was a pleasant journey to have Jason with us throughout the renovation. Although there were some delay from the vendor, he manage to complete the renovation on time. We would definitely recommend him to families and friends.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Homeowners should go for something that they like and imagine themselves living in for a long time. It is a must to do plenty of research before they come to a decision on a particular theme. It is important to clear any disagreement with their partner especially before meeting up with interior designers. As they do not want to embarrassed themselves having any argument infront of their interior designer. We believe to ensure quality workmanship, we need to maintain good relationship with the designers. Homeowners has to find out the expected timeline and engage a designer who can complete the project on time. It is also important to have a good communication with their designer to avoid miscommunication to ensure that the renovation process is going smoothly and turn out exactly what they wanted. Last but not least, they need to remember to enjoy the process in creating their dream home!

What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Understand what is the timeline you need to move in and really need to talk to ur interior designer about it, i would advised not to rush the contractor, but to give them sufficient time to do a good job, this also mean if in the mid of the renovation, you wish to make changes.example colour of wall or materials. Cost also another important issue to discuss, make sure the interior designer put all the charges on paper so that you have a clear picture of how much you possible to spend before renovation. Do not start until you agree on all the cost.

Responsible and very good at the follow up, (Desmond) really did a good job as compared to the person he took over. He would give suggestions to improve the whole outlook of the house.

Ronnie has been really helpful and he goes out of the way to assist in resolving any issues we were facing. He kept us updated on the renovation status and tried his best to rectify all the problems. After sourcing a few different IDs, Swiss Interior's price seems reasonable given the quality of renovation, and we did not faced much quality issues after moving in for about a year.

List down all the key things that you want in your design and keep them in mind when you are making comparisons between the different interior design company. You may start to get confuse and forget about some of the key items you want as the choices and designs become too overwhelming.
