Hi all, It time for me to post good comments after reading all the good comments abt Benson Lo,
Im Chen Jiang Zhuang, im a permament resident (PR) in Singapore, I have been staying in singapore for 8 years. i have just got married and had bought a resale HDB flat. Pardon me for my poor english. I would like to share my joy to those who really want to renovate their house. I would like to recommend this renovation company Benzdesign studio, Id Benson Lo.We are searching around for an id or contractor to renovate our house. We went to many renovation companies in Singapore. We had been waiting for the quotation for our house for quite some time. It have been many weeks but only 2 id responsed to me. The price of the renovation is very high given by one of them. the other quotation is incomplete,,,
We are stress and totally lost. in singapore, We had no one to turn too.Whenever we spoke to the Id, when we told them that we are a china national, They would just try to cut short our conversation and sent us out in a very nice way.
My Shipyard shift manager recommended Benson Lo to me. Benson is very patient and he explain to us about the material use for our renovation.
He suggested to us many ways. We have taken up alot of his time. We ask and ask a lot of quotations and We are also like everyone else in Singapore who likes our house to be done with new modern interior concepts.
We admitted that before the renovation process finish, we want things in our own way and we felt that we were harsh on him. He really is very paitent and help us to complete our renovation process neatly and in time. We are unware that there is no 100% workmanship in the renovation. Before he hand over the house to us. We are pleased and happy as we seen 99% of the touch up work done up by him. I will soon post my new design modern house to show everyone.
My family and i would thanks Benson Lo for his good will and his good services. I would rate him A for his interior design skills:great02: ID Benson Lo, Who actually work out a cosy warm home shelter for us.

The next day, we saw the 3D drawings of the whole house amended by him, we were extremely happy as the concept was wonderfully done and the wall papers naturally blend into the heels of the modern luxury suite. We never expect that Benson had created a dare devil look for our house. We really take our hats of him. He had really put in extra effort to ensure that our house appear nice.
Just imagine the feeling of getting a better option with the same price rate that we had never expect;his services and experience level! We showed several pals our 3d drawings and they were amazed with them all too!
well, once again, I do not hesitate to recommend Benson Lo (Benzdesign Studio)94556664.. We are glad to engage him. Our house renovation is not the cheapest but its reasonable. We dont mind paying for his services.

Hi my house is a HDB 3room resale flat at serangoon 300+ ave 2. I bought over this Flat and it is 16 years old. I went around looking for someone to renovate my place. I been through so many id firms and contractor offices. I have been around looking for house design and good price. in my hands, there are over 16 quotations not simply by email, but visiting showflats. For all the showflats ive been visiting, they don't have the design i have in mind, everything is the same . Example the layout, i gave to an id, We need to tell them what we want, and they really do that. Everything is copy and paste. nothing new.They could not give me what i really want.Further more the price of the reno quotes are so expensive.
For me, i do not go for the cheapest because i actually looking for simply and modern kind of look. I began to search through singapore renovation web pages online.
When i looked into the googles search, i began to type Singapore Highly recommended popular Id. There it was BenzDesign Studio, the young Id with the name of Benson Lo.That was very interesting. I do up my research and found out that He is even more popular then in the Singapore renovation web pages.
I began to meet up with him and true enough after seeing my floor plan and he told me that he could do wonders in my house. He began to propose our house layout and could even drew out on the spot trying to blend in heels of dare devil luxury type style of Design that contrast the whole house and could turn my 3rm HDB home into a studio apartment.
I could not actually believe it ready. I was amazed and jam at the momment. It was very nice and out from the immoral.I began to sign up with him.
I hereby highly recommended Benson Lo from BenzDesign Studio. He is the type of Id cum contractor. He is well verse in home interior and could really do wonders to your home interior. I don't really go for the cheapest and i really dont mind paying a bit more for his services. His service is great. Its really worth paying.
At our serangoon neighbourhood, My house unit is very popular. Most of my neighbours said that my house is really very very nice and they have been talking abt it. its been spreading ard the area.
One of the neighbours in the estate told me that Serangoon is an old estate and the interior is starting to be falling apart. The walls and floors are hollow in many areas. They said that wow your house can do until like tat is very very nice. They began to ask more details abt my reno and my id.
I now would like to share some 3d drawings done by Benson Lo from Benzdesign Studio. Later i would began to post my house pictures once its abt to be ready.

Ok, finally wrapping up our renovation it had been smooth. It took a abt 5 weeks to overhaul the place,100% maKE over.
We can't believe it really at first. Benson Lo gave us a good renovation deal and had been responsible, responsive and professional through the entire renovation period. I encountered lots of nonsense (rubbish quotes, bochap attitudes etc) in my hunting process for an ID. Decided to go with Benzdesign Studio for their professionalism, no-nonsense quote and patience.

When engaging renovation contractpors, always remember to work with a contractor with the relevant experience.
Last month, I entrust my renovation of my flooring and the installation of a sgoe cabinet to a young man from a "TAU design ... .. ' at Tampines st 44, that's where mt nightmare begins......
i WANTED MY FLOORING TO BE RUSTIC WITH CEMENT LIKE FINISHING. The contractor in question told us confidently that he had undertaken such jobs and showed as images from his computers!!
Ultimataely, The flooring at the corridoor is even better looking than that of my hall's. Yet, the contractor told me that" It's like that! You have to walk for a long time than the floor will be smooth." Gee !!! I have to 'smoothen and polish' my floor with my bare feet....
The contractor in question runs a 'one man' show and we gave him the business as we wanted to support vendors and shop-owners in our little neighbourhood.
What do we get in return ? NIGHTMARES ! SUCKING ATTITUDES AND BAD FEELINGS.
Remember- before you engage a contractor, check on his credentials ; - how many years of experience and get him to write down what materials he'll be using, especially for water treatment . Completion time must be stated clearly or you'll be send on a wild goose chase like me!
After 6 weeks, my shoe cabinet stands there without DOORS!

I would like to recommend this renovation company Benzdesign studio, Id Benson Lo.We are searching around for an id or contractor to renovate our house. We went to many renovation companies in Singapore. We had been waiting for the quotation for our house for quite some time. It have been many weeks but only 2 id responsed to me. The price of the renovation is very high given by one of them. the other quotation is incomplete,,,
We are stress and totally lost. in singapore, We had no one to turn too.Whenever we spoke to the Id, when we told them that we are a china national, They would just try to cut short our conversation and sent us out in a very nice way.
My Shipyard shift manager recommended Benson Lo to me. Benson is very patient and he explain to us about the material use for our renovation.
He suggested to us many ways. We have taken up alot of his time. We ask and ask a lot of quotations and We are also like everyone else in Singapore who likes our house to be done with new modern interior concepts.
We admitted that before the renovation process finish, we want things in our own way and we felt that we were harsh on him. He really is very paitent and help us to complete our renovation process neatly and in time. We are unware that there is no 100% workmanship in the renovation. Before he hand over the house to us. We are pleased and happy as we seen 99% of the touch up work done up by him. I will soon post my new design modern house to show everyone.
My family and i would thanks Benson Lo for his good will and his good services. I would rate him A for his interior design skills:great02: ID Benson Lo, Who actually work out a cosy warm home shelter for us.
Hi, i got to thanks you for your recommendation Mr Chen. I got Benson Lo to do up my place, He put in a lot of efffort in my house. further more my house design concept is very nice indeed.No wonder He is so highly recommended in the Singapore renovation web pages.

I have meet up with Benson Lo yesterday at his office yesterday, He is a young chap who could really give you alot of design concept. Im very surpraise that he could really propose and draw out many design concept on the spot that i never seen before. through out the search of the id process, he is quite different from among all. He is so well verse and i actually would take my hats of him.
The minute i step onto Benzdesign Studio and meet up with Benson Lo on that day,I shake hands and i left him a remark saying that every ids i met claimed to be a design consultant, home stylish and bur bur bur... but till now i really have not met someone who is actually an id. All are contractors whom i met keep on claiming to be an id but are actually so call contractors. After Benson Lo heard this sentence, he just smile and told me to sit down and he would go to the photocopy machine and take out pieces of A3 size paper and he began our discussion. Benson Lo smile and said," have you met an real id before?" I was alarmed by him at that time. Our discussion seems to last more then hours. The design concept he propose is totally different from all the others, He would propse and use colour of laminate samples and soft furnishing to express the design theme and concept of my house layout. I was totally out of words. Benson Lo have made my whole house a centre of extraction. Every bedrooms, living room and even the kitchen area. I seem to be dreaming and wonder how he do it.
I work as a property agent for years and i work with contractors and ids, none is as good as him. He also advise me to cut cost on certain things that need not to be spent. He said that he would draft out a quotation base on our discussion. I am amazed, i told him its ok , i will meet up with him sometime next week. While Benson Lo send me to the main door of his office, he smiled and ask me to take back my words as i said just now earlier on the minute i shake hands with him. We laugh together then i told him to give me a best price for my house quotation.
What my friends said about Benson Lo is indeed true. He is so professional and he is so well verse in design concept. I really take my hats off him. I hope that Benson Lo will give me a good price for my house renovation quotation. I know that he is not the cheapest among all but he is worth paying. Hope to meet up with him to look onto my quotation before i sign up with him.
I strongly recommend Benson Lo from Benzdesign Studio. I rate him A for his services.

I have met up with benson Lo, he is really indeed different from the other ids.
Been through the first disscussion. So far, we felt that he is experience in this trade and he is very well verse in the home designs. We were be meeting up with him next week for our quotation
skullface
25th February 2011, 01:31 AM
We are appointed for en block to stay. We are very happy as to say good bye to our old flat. We are anxious to have an en block . We have a new 4 room flat. Its time for us to souce around for the renovation for our house unit. We got to look for floor tiles for our bedroom and some carpentry works. We look through the renovation web pages to look for an id. This time round, We have decided to go for something different this time round. We started to buy magazines and books as to have ideas to renovate our house. We avoid contractors as we have been hearing alot of story about them. We went to many id firms as we do not get what we want. Whatever we want, the id would take down the notes and therefore come out with the quotations. We have been comparing around. Most of the id firms does not give us fresh ideas. its alll the same. Later on , My friends recommended Benson Lo to me as they have their house done up by him. They would show me their house designs photos through their i phones. The even we look into the photos, it was actually what we are looking for, new design concept to match our house. We started to book an appointment with Benson Lo to our new flat to take a look ard and to take measurements.
After seeing through the house, Benson Lo would use his pen & writting broad and start to drew out on the spot to show us the design concepts of our house. We are amazed as no all the ids we met could draw on the spot and could think of many ideas for our house concept. He would start to use colours and theme to play along the house for us.
We began to meet up for the following week to discuss for our house design renovation quotation. After Benson Lo placed the quotation before us, we will start to flip to the last page of the quotation to see the final figures. We are happy as its not as high as we really thought. We then start to go through the contract item by item. During the discussion, he would start to propose design theme to our. He also explain to us that we should not base on the pervious layout as we insisted at first. We are happy with his services. As its our first time renovating my house. We are lost. Benson Lo would take a lot of time and effort to make us understand what is going on.
In the renovation process, We often come to our new house to ensure things that are on going. Most of the time we saw Benson Lo there looking through the works done by his contractors. Whenever he see us, he start to smile and he began to tell us not to worry. During the week ends, Benson Lo would start to bring us out to get stuffs for our house. He also recommended soft furishing for our house concept. We can really see all the effort and time that he put in.
After to renovation, We are happy with the design concept as what Benson Lo proposed. We thanks him alot for his help to come out with design ideas for our house. All my friends and relatives who visited our house said that our house design is very nice.
It was worth paying for Benson Lo services. After seeing through all the quotation that we perviously have on hand. Benson's quotation may not be the cheapest but its really worth paying. I'm also lucky to have him as my id. after all all my hard work of soucing for an id really pays off. We manage to find the right person to do up our nest.
My neighbours are pleased with our house design layout and they started to ask for Benson Lo's handphone number. so far for what i know, They signed up with Benson and their house is in the mid of the renovation process.
I, therefore would like to highly recommended Benson Lo to everyone out there who really wants to renovate their houses. Here are photos of my house to show everyone in the in renovation forum.

I was told by his PA that his schedule is tight and i may have to wait another month to meet up for discussion. However, as i will only be collecting my key next month and in no hurry to move in, so i though of waiting since we like his concept.

Hi, my reno wk was also by benzdesign, this proactive man indeed tried his best and put in effort to oversee the whole reno process. Even thou, there is hiccup eg tilter arrived late, floor skirting not balance. But before i could spot it, Benson spotted them all and immediately called up his man (in front of me). He insisted that immediate work. I was glad that he did not covered the problem and yet brought them up to my knowledge. Another issue we faced was the mover whom we engaged by ourselves but on the very date, this mover company did not answer our call since morning and only responded to us in the afternoon. Fortunately, we were like complainting to Benson and he told us not to worry and let him contact his friend. Thanks God that his pal recommended someone for us on that later afternoon and we managed to move in to our new place.
After all, it all depend on the bond between yourself and the id. Make sure u r confident of him and do not hesitate to share your ideas or bring up any concept that you do not like, bec this gonna be a place you stay for a period of time.
Darren, try sending him an email, meet him up before u decide. We can only provide you our experience but its u who will be having another form of exp with him.

I heard many postive reviews on this firm esp this specific id. However, if you really want his assistance, you may have to fix 2 wk in advance. I tried calling him, but was told about his tight schedule which i felt a stronger urge in engaging him; since so many people are using his service, he must have possess certain criteria/ standard that convince people to use him.
Well, I probably got to wait for an appt before i concluse his service level.

I also got to knw this firm thru forumer and same like you, i was wondering how good this man could be or that bound to be real good ones out there rather than him alone. However,sad to say that several firms that i meet up with just could not provide the information or service that i required; first, proactiveness, 2nd: professionalism, 3rd: responsive, 4th: flexibility, etc. All that were brought to my sight was quotation and $ before going further into the next step. One thing that pissed me off was the arrogance attitude of one of the id from North...
Benson was probably the 4th id that i met up with and it was a diff feeling. My wife was satisfied with his work and came back home searching more info from the net about him; we realised his compliments and positive reviews from several forums and thus decided to go with him.
No one knows better than ourselves for what we want... The only way to get is to find out.

Hi
My ID for my 4 rm flat in punggol is Junwang Decor P L, patient & nice ID with many ideas on how to do up my hall & dinning as well as as my mbr & kids room. Charges are reasonable too. Workmanship is not too bad either & everything was done up to what we'd discussed, there wasnt any hidden cost after the renovation was done. I think thats quite important for most of the owners.
If u guys are interested, u all can contact my ID at 91251654 if you all are keen.

Indeed, it was a fruitful discussion with Benson from Benz Design. :)
Even though it was a long discussion into the night but It was all worthwhile especially for someone like me who do not have any idea how the process goes. I viewed several of his portfolio and was keen to use one of his existing design but this man told me that he will come up with another similar design for me since now he knew what I wanted. That rather impressed me. Frankly speaking, I didn't really believe that much when I see so many forumer supporting him but upon meeting him, I knew why was that so. That was probably because he was really an approachable man who clearly prove his capability and experience in the trade. Now, I just got to hope that his quotation wouldn't be within 'reach' ha

I just did my painting with Singapore Painting (http://www.paintersingapore.com) and kitchen cabinet by Cabinet Kitchen (http://www.singaporekitchencabinet.com).
Service and workmanship is good.
They came back to do the painting touch up for me when i requested for it.
The only bad thing is the painter is late for almost 30 mins and i have to wait 30 mins. Other than that, i would say they are quite good.

I wouldn't recommend Creative Design, because of them I suffered from spinal injury which lasted 2 years with exorbitant medical/massage costs due to MRI scanning etc. I engaged them as they were located close to my home and I noticed their posting at my neighbours home. Thinking that the home looked not too bad, I engaged them for my house renovation.
The first WHOLE WEEK nothing was done except for painting and for the WHOLE 3 room flat they sent a 70+ year old uncle with magnifying eye-glasses for spectacles. This old man could not move the furniture so I ENDED UP moving ALL the furniture while he painted including the king sized bed. Shifting it about I realised I caused injury to my lumbar 4 spine.
I had to cover all my furniture and become the assistant for the old man as there was no one appearing. Only in the 2nd week did the windows get demolished and changed to powder coating window. They made one cabinet and it was constructed totally wrong and they had to send it back to the workshop. Once it came back, the China carpenter had to further modify on the spot and the edgings were not laminated. They kept phoning the worker to return back to the workshop though the poor soul was kind to try to help finish the job. They punctured my sliding door of my bathroom door and took my SGD4,250+ and never gave a receipt for TWO WHOLE YEARS whilst I was calling their office every month for it and plus Desmond (owner) came only twice to the project 2nd time was to collect payment. 5 months ago when I called him for the receipt, he said the old man complained I was asking him to do many things. Old guy's job was only painting and I HAD TO ASSIST HIM TO COVER (plus buy all the plastic covers out of my own pocket) AND MOVE ALL THE FURNITURE AROUND as I felt pity seeing him struggle no doubt I was the one paying. Whenever I called Desmond why no one is there to assist his excuse was that the old man is capable to paint the whole flat. I had to be extra extra nice to the old man as I had already paid the deposit and the place was a mess and so did whatever I could to see to the end of the job. In the end the old man even messed up my corridor with white paint and splashed thinner on some walls whilst washing his brushes so all the stains are visible todate.
Lesson learnt have engaged a professional to undo all these nasty reminders left being by Creative Design. Would like to forget the whole ordeal as I finally managed to get my receipt only couple of week ago. Probably they decided to send after being hit with bad karma cos their shop may be one of those removed due to the revamping of Chinatown Point shops, no idea but Praise the Lord that they deserve whatever is coming to them.

Got my quotation and Yes, going for Benz Design. It's a reasonable quote but not the cheapest among the few firms that I had shortlisted. However, it's worth it if the quality and service obtained and provided is of excellent result. Now gonna pray for smooth reno works and great comfortable place to stay in. Can't wait for that!

I also got to knw this firm thru forumer and same like you, i was wondering how good this man could be or that bound to be real good ones out there rather than him alone. However,sad to say that several firms that i meet up with just could not provide the information or service that i required; first, proactiveness, 2nd: professionalism, 3rd: responsive, 4th: flexibility, etc. All that were brought to my sight was quotation and $ before going further into the next step. One thing that pissed me off was the arrogance attitude of one of the id from North...
Benson was probably the 4th id that i met up with and it was a diff feeling. My wife was satisfied with his work and came back home searching more info from the net about him; we realised his compliments and positive reviews from several forums and thus decided to go with him.
No one knows better than ourselves for what we want... The only way to get is to find out.
Hi, I am interested to engage the firm. Is it possible to make a recommendation? I understand that you are a satisfied cust of Benz Design, is it possible to share some comments on the the firm/ id? Can pm me? Thanks

Hi Everyone!
I would like to share my new home experience with all of you.
My husband and I decided to engage Ken Lee from Summit Design Studio after narrowing our choices. It was an impromptu meet up with Ken at first as we decided to drop by Summit Design to see the showroom. And we received a quotation from Ken just after we discuss with him our plans for our new home. On our first visit that is! His willingness & friendly service made us decide, he's our ID!
Ken listens to all our ideas and we work together to finalize our renovation. Renovation process was efficient and according to schedule. We highlighted to Ken on a few hiccups and he got it fix right away! He was easily contactable almost any time of the day even though he is overseas. Ken guide us through the renovations process until its completed despite us being busy with our work
schedules.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Summit Design Studio for the great service in renovation our beautiful home. We truly appreciate the excellence service you have provided us with. We will definitely recommend Summit Design Studio
to our family & friends! :) THANK YOU!

Hi, it all depends on the 'chemistry' you have with the id you meet. If you feel comfortable and is fine with the discussion, then you can go ahead with making the final decision. If not, try another firm.
To me, Benz Design's id does not seem to be one whom is only into making $ out of homeowners plus I like the proposal, therefore, i chose them.
Great luck for your reno wk.

We are thankful to have appointed you as our designer for our new house.
What impressed us, other than your designs which go without saying, is your cool,
patient and accommodating manner in handling demanding and meticulous customers like us.
Eview is a friendly and efficient designer. I like his ideas and professionalism.
During our first appointment, he made me feel comfortable and at ease as he is not pushy.
He will always go the extra mile to ensure that my needs are met.
His designs are modern, creative yet practical. 2nd phase design ID pte ltd has good workmanship.
The end products are of good quality and it is definitely worth the money spent!

An interior designer wouldn't want to reuse any design for new owner unless they just want to earn $.

Its been a while... Has been rather busy and finally got a short break! So, its about time to write a short testimony for my id firm- Benz Design Studio.
My family and I are glad to have decided to engage Benson from Benz Design. We are thanksful to both Benson and Jason for their great help thru out the whole renovation process. They were flexible to make decision accordingly to situation and get things done, even though there is hiccup such as replacement of laminate material for the carpentry work or even plastering touch up, they never fail to meet my expectation. In fact, at times when I thought the condition was more than good but then Benson insist that his worker have work re-do or material replaced. That is what my wife has been praising about both of them.
Eventually, now, we appreciate what they had provided, the product as well as their service level is what I would recommend to my pals and family member too. Good job, Benson and Jason. Thank you.

Hi,
Initially, we were tired of having to source around and then meeting up for discussion. That was real tiring. However, we confirmed on Benz Design bec benson was the only id that discuss in details of everything with us (that was more than 3 hrs) whereas others were merely probably an hr and wanted to collect deposit fr us so as to have further discussion. We were glad that we did not sign up with them bec as a client, when i wasnt even sure of what will be provided and have to pay money; was rather inappropiate for us (i dont know if that's the procedure). But after meeting Benson (we waited sometime), he did not ask us to confirm with him and told us to think before making decision, yet on that same day he gave us all sort of details that we wanted to know. That's y i trusted him and engaged him. utimately, we appreciate his assistance and not forgetting jason whom alway appear immediately when we called him/ benson. That's the service I am looking for and am glad that i have their assistance. Thanks alot Benson and Jason.. Happy New Year and continue to provide such services to all other.
