This is the second time we are using Rachel and United Team (UT) for our renovations. The first time we did a minor project to redo our Kitchen in a landed property for about $20K ! We had 3 quotations, all from IDs located at Thomson Plaza and UT were middle of the pack for pricing (which happens to be our only concern at that point in time)
Second time around, we did not bother to get anyone else to quote, this time to renovate our 1900 sq. ft. HDB Jumbo Flat from scratch (masonry, woodworks, piping, electrical, the works) for a whopping $120K
Rachel was very thorough in the design phases. The whole process took about 3 to 4 months as we did not have any urgency! Every detail was put down in writing and checked and rechecked. I was quite technical at times but Rachel always accepted the technical questions with a smile and got answers for them every time.
Along the process, Communication was a key asset and Rachel stepped up to the challenge and her response time to the WhatsApp messages and Phone calls were immediate and excellent.
Rachel was like a commander in Chief orchestrating from design work, tiles selection, contractor management and even accesosories purchase, she has all the connections. For the price we were forking out; we got nothing but the best, e.g. Bloom hinges for all carpentry fittings! Everyone listens to Rachel, that's a key asset.
Along the way there were minor adjustments that were needed; either we overlooked some sizing details or there were some miscommunication, irregardless, everything was fixed.
Service Quality with a Smile and Speed gave us Peace of Mind and a Perfect Home! Thank You Rachel and United Team , we were certainly blessed.
DesignThe designs were basically started off by us, but Rachel added her suggestions and ideas along the way to make them better. We selected the fittings and kept Rachel in the loop to allow her team to design complimentary features for the light and piping installations. All designs were vetted with a 3D CAD drawing for visualisation before actualisation. The CAD designs were easily transmitted through email and WhatsApp.
WorkmanshipRachel placed a lot of attention to fine detail from clarifications at the design phase to the excellent work during construction phase, with constant communication with the sub-contractors and designers.
Customer ServiceRachel was very tactful when dealing with me as I was somewhat demanding! Her speed of response was excellent either through WhatsApp and/or Phone Calls. All the contractors were also very nice and always diligent with their work and with a smile.
Value for MoneyPricing was mid-range but with quality fittings like Bloom Hinges for all carpentry works, was of course good value! We wanted Rachel to design a house that will last us at least for the next 10 years.
