The Metier Planner design team was fantastic! They openly listened to all of our concerns and provided various ideas and solutions for the project. They had transformed our small condo into the high-end luxurious pad that we were looking for. They went above and beyond accommodating our busy schedule and added every extra touch I imagined. We were very impressed with the high level of professionalism by the design team and they were amazing to work with from start to finish. We are now finished with this home but if we move into another one I will absolutely use Metier Planner again!

Find one that listens to your concerns and issues, and be quick to give solutions whenever there are any issues pertaining to on-site situations. Knowing what you want is very important too, definitely helps to realise your new home together with your ID.

Searching for a designer to do minimal renovation is not easy. We have found a home that fits our requirements, hence we did not want to alter too much of the layout. Many have quoted us to remove the existing fittings and redo new ones, which resulted in expensive quotations that did not fit our budget. Unlike other IDs, our ID Jocelyn catered to our needs, and at the same time work within the given budget. She will tell us places to cut cost, and prioritize our work when we become too dreamy. There was no hidden cost to the quotation, as everything was listed out and Jocelyn made sure she went through every item on the list with us before we proceed on with the works. We appreciate that, as we can better budget our finances to other areas. She advised us on removing partial items and fixing it back with the right support, while making the exterior aesthetically pleasing as well. This team is a gem to work with, seriously we meant it, especially when we realised that Metier Planner even have their own carpentry factory in Singapore too. It makes going through the designs, doing up the carpentry and rectification of certain cabinets so much easier and fuss-free. We do not have to communicate with a lot of people, as Jocelyn is there to instruct her guys for us throughout. As first-time homeowners, we are constantly bombarding Jocelyn on the progress and design ideas. Jocelyn always replied us promptly, even after office hours! We are always receiving image updates from her, which helps us a lot as we are both working on shift hours. We feel that communication is a main key factor in engaging an ID, and Jocelyn has definitely scored full marks for this. We do not have to worry much during the process, nor we even need to micro manage the job (even i always wanted to) as she is able to solve issues on the spot, making sure things are done asap. The whole process is fast without much hiccups, defects is unavoidable but done up fast, communication is excellent, timely delivery as we have to rush for Chinese New Year within weeks. What more can we ask for! Huge thank you to Jocelyn and her team for their lovely job. Now we can really have a place we called our own.

Don't be afraid or ever under-estimate a fairly, newly set up company. We have heard so much scary renovation stories around us. First visit to Metier Planner, we admit we have been skeptical and worried too. But after clarification and talking to them, we know we have made the right choice to drop by, they even have a team that is in this industry for more than 20 years. And to find an ID who you can communicate and also a team leader on job site is not easy. We are thankful that Jocelyn and Metier Planner come into picture, making renovation journey a fun and enjoyable one.

Friendly and very helpful in the entire process of renovation as if it’s her own house. No hardsell nor pushy sales, but on the contrary, Jocelyn would help us to keep within budget avoiding unnecessary cost! Jocelyn has many great ideas on design and space saving. Definitely recommend to look for her if you need someone to help you with designing and converting your own rough concept to a nice actual drawing and end product. I compared 7 different IDs and decided to go with Metier Planner as their price was reasonable and Jocelyn was genuine in wanting to help us do up our home nicely! Overall experience was pleasant with Metier and Jocelyn:)

Dearest Jaslynn, Thank you so much for making the experience of creating our first home an enjoyable one! You took our dream, bounced inspiring ideas with us, injected sound advice, and made it come true! Most people overlook the importance of an interior designer's project management skills and have to pay a hefty price... Thankfully, we didn't have to learn this lesson with you! It is now 6 months in, and we are extremely pleased to say we are enjoying our home as much as the day we moved in. We look forward to building our next home with you! - Marcus & Pauline

Being our first home, we both excited and nervous as we were unsure of what to expect. We had a rough idea of how we wanted our first home to look like and Jocelyn made everything we had envisioned come to life. The home renovation journey with Jocelyn was a pleasant and smooth one. She was quick to rectify issues that occurred and was alway available to answer queries. She provided us with a sense of assurance that what she had presented on paper was what she'll be able to deliver. In addition, she offered ideas and opinions to make decision making on our part a little less stressful. In all, we are glad to have met Jocelyn as our ID and we would highly recommend her to future home owners who would like to make their dream home reality. With that, thank you to Jocelyn and her team for the wonderful home. - Firdaus & Aisyah Proud owners of 296C Bukit Batok

The main reason for engaging Bee Wee for our house renovation were that she provided great advices and appropriate/reasonable quotations based on our needs and wants, rather than showing low costs initially and jacking up prices after the engagement. We heard a lot of people's frustrations from their renovation projects, but we were able to stay worry-free throughout the project with her services. (really, we mean it! ) We would highly recommend her to anyone who wants exceptional services without much trouble and sufferings! Thanks again, Bee Wee! It was pleasure working with you.
