  • Hands-on problem-solving, including issues outside the original scope
  • Designers accommodate changes and listen to practical needs
  • Cost-conscious guidance on what to keep and what to replace

Things to take note

“Fraudulent Review”

Dear Viewers / Customers, we the management of Design Profession Pte Ltd have reached out to all of Dominic's customers and all have replied saying that none have posted such a review. We sincerely assure all viewers that we use the same subcontractors that we have used since our incorporation and that our in house tilers and carpenters have also remained the same for the past 11 years. We maintain strict control over our subcontractors and our designers are ONLY allowed to use subcontractors from our approved list. Our management also closely monitors invoices and as such, we can guarantee that none of our designers have used unapproved subcontractors. We have also never received any complaints from any of our staff's customers with such allegations. We have also attempted numerous times to reach out to Hometrust as to ascertain why such allegations have been made against our company and designer but have received no reply. We have also reached out to Hometrust on the 10th of October in attempt to resolve this matter and have also provided them with evidence showing that all Dominic's customers have replied saying that none have posted such a review. We have yet to receive so much as a response from Hometrust.sg The management of Design Profession takes all of such negative reviews seriously and will endeavor to resolve any cases of disgruntled customers to the best of our ability. We also guarantee customers that none of our subcontractors have ever used part-timers who only work on Saturdays, use inferior materials and etc. We also believe that no customer would sign on with a design firm with no design proposed. As such we challenge user badexperience, should he/she be a genuine customer with grievances, to show cause for making such baseless allegations against our company and designer. We humbly urge viewers and customers to disregard such fraudulent and absurd claims. Lastly, we once again reach out to Hometrust.sg to contact us to investigate and resolve this matter so as to maintain the credibility of its forum. Warm Regards, Management of Design Profession Pte Ltd

“Sincere and Trustworthy Designer with Good Design Concepts”

We met Kelvin Foo during a roadshow and had a good chat with him to find out what we wanted for our New BTO in Tengah. After meeting other IDs, we decided on him as we feel he is sincere and understands what we kind of designs we wanted and our requirements for storage spaces. Bonus point: Kelvin a registered HDB approved contractor as well Even during the design phase, we made multiple changes and we are grateful that he is patient and willing to listen to our requests and even gave suggestions on how it can be improved. Along the way, there were minor issues that we encountered but Kelvin himself came down personally to settle it. Overall, the final product exceeds our expectations and we are really happy about our experience with Design Profession Pte Ltd. We are so impressed that we are highly recommend him to our friends and families when the topic about renovations is discussed.

Design

We prefer a practical approach to the design, and the end result was a mixture of Scandinavian design with lots of storage spaces

Workmanship

Carpentry work is good quality, minimal touch up required after installation of all the carpentry. Even for the plumbing, Kelvin's team is willing to come to solve a chocked pipe even though it was not part of their scope.

Customer Service

Excellent service! Any issues, we just have to notify Kelvin and he will settle it for us. He will also update us along the way on the progress of the renovations.

Value for Money

Personally we feel that what we are offered is valued for money. His package might not be the cheapest in the market but for the workmanship and service, it is definitely worth every cent.

“Excellent Service and Quality”

i recently chose to work with Design Profession and had no regrets at all. My interior designer, Kelvin Foo, truly took the time to understand our preferences and materialised our dreams into a reality. And at times when we were clueless as first time home owners, Kelvin was able to provide invaluable advice and offer creative solutions that were out of the box. At the end of the day, all our requests were fulfilled and the quality of the finished product surpassed our expectations..

“Made good recommendations to us”

The design by Design Profession is clean and appealing. The cabinets designed are useful. The recommendations which they made to us are good references to us for considerations, including paints suggestions and right coordination. Small details are also carefully taken care by the designer ensure that the spaces are properly done up and is effectively utilized by us.

“Would recommend on a tight budget”

I would recommend Joshua and Design Professional to friends on a tight budget. I liked the design for my wardrobe and kitchen. However the response time could be a bit slow. Mine is a simple renovation project but it took slightly longer to complete as expected due delays in work.

“Unskilled subcontractors”

I would recommend Design Profession to house owners who can wait months for a simple renovation. ID is always unresponsive as he is very busy with other projects. No design is recommended by ID. It is actually more of a contractor with the name of ID. Design Profession is referred by someone who did a renovation here before. I guess they have now changed all their subcontractors as the quality is no longer there. I heard many horror stories from others who have engaged the wrong ID. I understand their frustration now after engaging Design Profession.

Design

No design proposed

Workmanship

Very bad workmanships and inferior materials used. All subcontractors seem to be very new and inexperienced. I think some of them are part timers since they only work on Saturday.

Customer Service

ID is always not responsive and takes day to reply. All scheduled jobs keep getting postponed. All promised deadlines are not met. ID is very rude at times.

Value for Money

The quotation is neither the highest nor the lowest range compared to other IDs. For the workmanship and service rendered, it is not value for money.
