This living room is a new room built during yesterday's renovation. Initially, the existing house building only reached the arch window wall. And initially this living room area was a garden next to the house, coincidentally our house is located on the hook so the area of the side garden is still quite large. We use design and build services, but will not share details of the company name, because it is very untrustworthy and detrimental to us as owners. Just let the victims reach us, 😅😅
At that time we decided to use design and build services because at that time our domicile was still in Papua, and the renovation project was underway while we were still in Papua. The aim of the renovation was to take place before our move to Jakarta so as not to rent the apartment for too long as a temporary home while the project was running. But it turns out that with all the renovation drama, the contract should have only been 3 months but turned out to be 6 months. 🤪
My advice is that if you want to renovate, either with or without the services of a contractor, we as owners must be diligent in going directly into the field so that if there are slight errors we can immediately CUT them, so that losses in time, material and energy can be minimized.
And if you decide to use the services of a design and build company, if you have more funds, it's better if your credibility is truly guaranteed. There are indeed prices. In the end, we had to spend much more money to fix the mess of the first contractor. In fact, if you had directly used the services of a second contractor, it might have been completed more quickly, the price would have been higher than the first contractor, but the time lost would not have been as much as yesterday and there would have been no need for improvements here and there which resulted in the totals becoming really swollen, it would be cheaper to use a second contractor. since the beginning. For the second contractor, we used the services of interlook.co.id and its subsidiary worksoul for interior improvements.
Meanwhile, for the interior design at home, I do everything myself, in order to save budget, and it's easier to follow our tastes too.
