    😂 this guy is really funny. While he said that his English isn't good, he actually can express himself and delivers the message very well. My understanding of Hokkien isn't great but was able to grasp. Interesting and entertaining 😂. I had a good laugh. 😅 Thank you

      The wow factor is he can laugh at himself and don't feel embarrassed about his English standard. Respect for his self confidence! The important thing is as long as people can understand you it doesn't matter if it is not perfect English.

      Just need to adjust the entry level will do. For example, at least a Diploma Interior Design (DID) with this will defnitely stream down 50%. How do i know? I've been in this trade more than 7 years and myself hold a DID cert. :)

But really appreciate this team + him for filming this nearly hour long video. I sat down to watch, initially thinking maybe i'll just watch 10 mins. but.... i finished the entire video! Pls have a part 2 or part 3 if possible!

    This Wilson is so humble and funny! I had my flat renovated by them 5 years ago. Didn't get to meet Wilson at all, but got 2 designers, 1 senior and 1 junior. I thought it was an overkill to have 2 IDs but now learned that the junior ID was understudy like he mentioned. The renovation and handover was done on schedule and it was a good experience.

  • @leewn2319
    @leewn2319 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +23

    The problems with ID industry is that it is not properly regulated by BCA and how well trained are these IDs. A lot of IDs just focus on aesthetics with little or totally no knowledge of good building construction practices / detailing / processes & procedures and maintenance needs. The worst is no responsibility on standing supervision & doing proper job especially during hacking (over hacking too deep ) & waterproofing works to wet areas such as toilets, kitchens, powder rooms, & balconies leading to leakage to lower floor or unit below. Another problem with wet areas is poor gradient to run off water causing stagnation / pooling at a corner etc. A good practice of written renovation contract is to ensure there are: (1) payment terms of deposit and subsequent payment based on value of work done less out the deposit & retention fund (at least 10% to 20% of the contract value to be released after all defects are properly rectified during the defects liability period. (2) Retention fund percentage depends on contract value, if too little, no impact (3) Defects liability period of 12 months (4) Waterproofing guarantee for at least 5 years from completion against leakage, because industry practice is 10 year guarantee provided waterproofing not tempered by owner (6) Submit details and design, samples / mood boards for clearance (7) visit to suppliers to select finishes and appliances (8) coordination with others who may be engaged by the owner / employer. It will be good to visit ID’s projects completed the the past 3-6 months and 1-2 years.

    20K? I’m going to start on my Reno for 3 room BTO soon. My initial quote was 25K for the whole house, only wardrobe, toilet vanity and kitchen carpentry. We decided that we wanted to change the tiles at the toilet so it went up to 32K. How is it possible to get 20K? Didn’t count Kitchen carpentry? But that one feels like a need in all BTOs…
    That being said, this was a good episode. Wish I had this while searching for ID instead of just learning as I go.

    This was amazingly helpful. I am getting my home next year and literally I ust want to do lighting, painting and a insect screen on windows for things I cant do personally. The scariest thing is getting scammed with hidden costs and Wilson def. helped to relieve some of that stress. Excellent podcast and keep up the good work.

    @worriesinthedance 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    @38:05, I am a hands on type person, so I like the satisfaction of having overseen the process from start to finish by only hiring a main contractor, which I did with my kitchen reno, but with that said, if you have pretty novel and kooky ideas its better to find a design professional who is experienced in such niche contexts and has the right intuition..

  • @normanismail8526
    @normanismail8526 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I agree with Wilson on most of the questions.
    HOWEVER, I disagree on not giving more financial incentives to experienced IDs whom mentors the newbies. It should be given as RECOGNITION and MOTIVATION for his/her efforts.
    Having a “good mindset” whilst great and very appreciated, can only take you so far if your pockets are only FULL OF THANK YOUS.. 🤦🏼😅

    People say being an id is very easy , just need to choose design for them and all but actually as an id is isn’t easy… as we are always the middle person, like we need to deal with the contractor and also the client as well as your planning need to be good so that the contractor work won’t get crash tgt.
    Worst part is sometimes client very hard to deal with as well because there’s client who will put you on airplane mode if not go mia… or worst case scenario they will take your hard work idea and give it to others id company because it’s more cheap then ours…

    @z.zaimie1406 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    End of the day it depends on the main person who handles ur project. THE COMPANY can be reputable but its thr stupid ID that handles ur project that tarnished the company's name. Like wat he said...all we want is a responsible ID and one who keep the owner updated so they wont be worried. N pls have intergrity n professionalism too. I had bad experience for mine hence it gave me abit of trauma. I spent around 48k for mine

  • @benjii16
    @benjii16 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    If every id were to follow his methodology at the profit margin for newcomers to earn which is so low because it has to be split with the senior designer for every project for at least 3 years.... 99% of them can just die out of hunger and run out of liquidity. They also have a life too despite being newbies.. somemore you structure it in a way that their fate lies 100% in their senior designers' hands, there should be discipline imposed, period correct but there must also be a balance struck. People join every job for the sake of money and survival but that does not mean the company has to squeeze them out so tightly for the sake of being newbies and inexperience.. these are two different things

      Besides, if you watched finish the whole thing, you can tell he is very genuine, frank and overall harmless, so don't take offense lah
      Btw, don't equate someone's thinking to their abilities leh, that's like becoming what you seek to destroy.

    Wilson has been kind to assist my customer on the HDB floorplan, regardless whether there a firm business opportunity. Making an effort to revert at 9pm plus via WhatsApp. I am impressed. 👍

    ID's charges EXTREMELY high.
    Aftersales service may or may not be good , No Garuntee.
    The laymen term for ID's and contractors:
    On Paper , Nothing is 100000000% garuanteed from any ID or contractor.
    My experience:
    I've done many rounds of renovations my entire property journey. More than 14 years of experience and i hear the SAME stories , SAME lines.
    Pricing factor :
    40,000 $ to renovate the whole home with ID but LESS than 8,000 $ with contractor which is at least 4 folds the ID charges and my own contractors are very reliable. A renovation i did for one of my home.
    Then I would question myself , Why I want pay 40,000$ for an 8,000$ job ?
    Quality may or may not be good , If you are experienced then you will know what wood and laminate is good.
    40,000 for warranty but terms and conditions apply , Same for 8,000 but the difference is i still can afford to redo my carpentry, different colour. Pressumingly redo is another 8,000$ , it is still cheaper than ID.
    Conclusion:
    In short , there are different mix of people in the industry regardless ID or Contractor.
    ID or Contractor can say all they want. If they want to run , they will run whether or not what paper you sign.
    If the contractor wants to delay , Nothing the ID can do about it too. Its not just about the money.
    Definitely with an ID , you dont have to worry too much about colours and designing.
    Nowadays , The Contractors know whats trending and what colours match the best because they have done MANY projects. their ideas and designs that ID would almost never thought of those ideas.
    Sometimes is better to liase directly to know what is actually going on. ID sometimes may or may not tell you the full story of the reno progress. Same for the contractor but at least it is a more direct conversation.
    no matter how big or small their company size , If they want to delay and avoid you , they can.
    The advantages and disadvantages always apply.
    These ID's have a different challenge today given AI's capabilities. What if one day all we need is AI to design a house after providing AI informations such your floorplan , ceiling height , Kinda feel you want around the house , Rules and regulations.

      Not necessarily, unlikely AI will affect IDs because they lack the human touch. Only inexperienced home owners and penny pinchers will allow an AI to handle the entire design layouts.
      Ultimately, AI lacks the Human experience. Even with inputs on preferred home lifestyle, the AI lacks empathy and can’t register things like change of mind and Mood.
