I got to know this company from a colleague’s recommendation, as he’s got good taste. Working with Nic is worry-free. Any defects were remedied within a day, they will send someone down. We went back to Nic for our second renovation, as we can’t be sure we can get someone who delivers on time, within budget and is easy to talk to. He gives advice but is not pushy, communication is comfortable with him, that’s why i’ve recommended him to no less than 8 friends.

I got to know Concept Living as a recommendation. Having a sense of the pricing and what I want, sometimes getting things cheaper may not always give what you want. Based on past experience, I know what I want. I want a modern feel, suitable for my lifestyle, with hidden storage. NIc helped me achieve this. He’s responsive, and got things done within a reasonable time frame. After staying in for some time, things are subject to wear and tear. Response time for fixing them have been reasonable.

I was recommended by a friend, so I went straight to Nic. I like the overall idea about the house. He attempts to understand our lifestyle and then design accordingly. For people who’re not designers, we know what we like but not how to formulate that into the home. We pay for peace of mind. Nic is attentive and accommodating, that’s important to us. Along the way if we’re not comfortable with the design, he will explain how it fits into the whole concept and ensures we’re on the same wavelength. We found scratches on the vanity counter of the bathroom, and Nic immediately sent help, the polishing was done with a turnaround of a day or two. I’ve recommended him to a few relatives.

We got quotations from 4 companies, but didn’t feel convinced by them, largely because of different visions. Nic is a good listener, considering what you have to say before giving his opinion, and then it’s up to you to make the decision. He never forces an idea on us. We wanted to have our home done up in a very basic manner, with clean simple lines. He achieves what he set out to do. The service is prompt. We’ve worked together on three separate projects over 4-5 years, and I keep going to him. He gives a realistic time frame, and when I’m looking for the best way to do something, he’s able to advice how to achieve that goal.

On a friend’s recommendation, I went to Nic as I trust my friend. In fact, I’ve engaged him for a second time. He’s a responsible guy. I like the carpentry and painting, it’s very neat. He responds very quickly. We wanted to do something, but he advised against it with reasons that we can save cost. He thinks for our interest. We needed some touch up for our ceiling as the unit upstairs had a leak. He got his men to fix the problem with ceiling within a week. While redoing the plastering and painting, the staff also went round to the bedroom and living room to see if there’s anything else that needs touching up.

I went straight to Nic after reading an article about him. He makes me comfortable and confident that he will do a good job during the first meet up. My friends who drop by the house like the clean design that worked out to be close to what we have in mind. He’s responsive in addressing our concerns quickly. After renovation, he still provides after-sales service. Recently our lights spoilt, he’s quite fast in arranging for contractors to fix it.

Of the 3 designers we asked for a quotation, Nic comes across as the most professional. We asked him to do some 3D drawings, and they turned out really good. It was also within our budget. The way he approaches clients makes us feel comfortable working with him. One of my favorite parts of the renovation, is that he managed to break down a wall bringing the balcony and living room together. When we walk in we see an open area. I also love the wine cellar built into the house. There were leaks and lights had blown, but Nic replies straightaway, committing to send someone down to take a look at the issues as soon as possible. I have recommended him to my friends.

I was referred to Nic from someone I know. There were 3 choices at first. The others were not so friendly and don’t give 3D drawing. If i want the drawing from one, I had to pay 30% up front. The other that provided a drawing, the quality was not good. But when I asked Nic for the preliminary design, he gave it to me right away with no charge. Comparing 3D drawings, his quality is better. While his rate is not the cheapest, you can be assured that he’s responsible since he’s running his own company. What I like is his idea to demolish the wall of the master bedroom to let more light into the living area. I also like the reconfiguration of walls in the other 2 bedrooms to make it more efficient and feel bigger. The after-sales service is good. Nic is attentive and always willing to make things work. When something goes wrong, he takes responsibility. The response is always very good, I’m happy working with him.
