FAQs
Do you offer packages?
We do not offer standard packages per se as our quotations are customised according to the homeowners’ needs . We do however, follow a price list, so quotations are largely standardised. Do let us know your budget and your scope of works and we can advise if it is insufficient or over generous.
Can the first meeting be virtual?
Yes, we conduct first meetings via zoom. The second meeting will be face to face since we need to present materials and have a more comprehensive discussion.
How long does each meeting take?
Typically one hour for the first and two hours for the second, depending on the size of the design proposal.
Can I walk in to your office?
Yes. However as we are a small team managing several sites, there maybe nobody available to serve you. It would be best that you drop us a message two hours before arriving to arrange. Our regular hours are weekdays, 9:30am to 6:00pm and Saturdays 9:30am to 1:00pm (closed Sundays).
What is in my free custom design proposal?
There are four items: quotation, layout, physical materials and mood images. These are created specifically to the homeowners’ needs and should give an idea of our design vision.
How long will you take to create the design proposal?
Typically, we request two weeks.
How many people from renostud.io are involved in each renovation?
Typically four, including a lead, a project manager and two drafters. We prefer to have more involved so the project is better looked after
Do you have your own workers?
We do not have workers. We work with sub-contractors who share our work ethos for renovation.
Are your contractors’ licensed?
Yes, our contractors possess the right license to provide renovation services.
How long does a renovation typically take?
Conservatively, just under three months.
Can I get a consultation if my key collection is more than six months away?
Yes, though we maybe unable to commit to a quotation given that our contractors’ pricing fluctuates according to market conditions. We, do however, offer homeowners’ who are collecting keys much later to purchase a set of renders so they may begin the design process with us.
Do you renovate commercial properties?
Currently, our focus is on residential projects only.
What is your approach to each project?
We believe there is no good taste or bad taste, only your taste and my taste. Therefore, our preferred style is to have homeowners’ highly involved in the selection of colours, materials, accessories and so on. We recognise this requires more effort from homeowners, but our experience tells us it leads to a better outcome i.e. homeowners feel greater ownership of their new home.
We also believe there are no bad ideas, just ideas that need refining. So, we encourage that you share with us every item on your new property’s wish list and we will make it work.
There’s probably much more to how we function, so why not drop by and come have a chat with us :)
