Beware of hidden costs

Remember that if something is too good to be true, it probably is! It is wiser to take precautionary measures and look out for hidden costs or variation orders.

Bad actors might initially lure you into signing a low-cost package; then… jack up prices by surfacing excluded items during the renovation e.g. omission of costs such as dismantling, manpower, and, additional materials etc.

Nobody Around Us Could Recommend a Good ID

It was almost like they didn’t exist - so we started our search on Google. HomeMatch came across as a no brainer for us to try because of their case trust accredited IDs, clear outline of their services and the fact that they came at no cost to us. The communication with HomeMatch were always swift, clear and helpful. From our online form, they called and clarified our needs then set about to match us with five IDs. We were able to view their profiles, portfolios and video snippets which were handy when it came to comparing meeting them in person whether they were authentic. Four of the five IDs contacted us swiftly and met with us twice - the first time to understand our requirements and floor plan and the second time to propose layout and itemized quotation. Same went for the fifth ID who was a later match because the initial match was not able to meet us. HomeMatch really came through with promptly replacing the initial recommendation such that the replacement ID was able to meet us the very next day. We were able to select an ID from the five based on all our interactions and although the process from contacting HomeMatch to signing with ID took 2 months it would have taken even longer had we tried to source IDs from the wild. HomeMatch services didn’t end with us signing the contract. HomeMatch reviewed our contract and advised us of its pros and shortcomings. They also provided critical tips that will help make our renovation journey a successful one. Although our Reno work have not begun we know that clear communication works best and we can always count on HomeMatch should we need them again.

‍So… when should you go for Renovation Packages?

✔ If your priority is to move in at the lowest cost possible

Renovation packages often only provide homeowners with the essentials to help them move in at a relatively low cost. So… don’t expect fancy designs or top-notch materials.

✔ If you have simple needs and are okay with a one-size-fits-all solution

As mentioned, renovation packages prices are kept low due to bulk purchases from suppliers. This means that the items provided are ‘one-size-fits-all.’ In some cases, making slight variations can cost above market rate. e.g. topping up $2k-$3k if your actual kitchen length varies from what is quoted in the package.
