Testimonials

Area Concept Pte Ltd Att: Mr Frankie Chan

It is with great pleasure that i am writing this letter to commend and recommend Frankie and his team.

Truly an excellent job!

From the time of conceptualization to closure of the project, Frankie remained consistent in thinking of creative ways not only to extend and optimise our listing space but also to ensure it is aesthetically pleasing.

His professionaJ ethics deserves mention. Once, the tiler mislaid the tiles according to plan, though my wife and i felt quite uncomfortable about it, we kept this to ourselves. But quite surprisingly, Frankie right the wrong by asking the tiler to redo the job even though we did not make the request. This is the kind of interior designer that i must give voice to his credit.

Also, the carpentry work was above par. The 3D model at conceptualisation stage was itself already very impressive. The finished work was above our expectation. I strongly believe the same governing ethics has produced such outcome.

What i saw in Frankie was his tenacious attitude in seeing how our living space may be fully maximised. I remember standing with him in the dusty environment during an early renovation phrase where he refused to give up discussing and creatively thinking of possible options to help us furnish our tight kitchen space. Earlier on, the other bidding contractors told us straight ‘it is impossible to do it’. That evening, he showed us that ‘it is possible’. It is noteworthy that he could have conveniently pointed out that the other contracors said it is impossible. But he did not. Instead, he walked more than that extra mile to get the job done.

Today, we are enjoying a creatively extended living space. If not for him, the money spent for this property will not be fully utilised as a daily living space. To me, this is
value for money. I believe it is impossible for Frankie to have the capacity to focus on his specialised task without the good support of his administrative team of personnels. Hence, i would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for providing the backroom support so that he could enjoy the process at the frontline to create my dream home which
i initally had great reservation working directly with contractors.

Frankie and his team made communication so accessible in realising my specific needs. I do not regret spending a little more to engage his service to save the long term problem of having errant contractors telling me, a often heard phrase, ‘to live with it’. So far, in my living routine, i do not suffer the need to have to adapt to a house. On the contrary,

Frankie has helped us realised a dream home that adapts to the living needs of each family member, including even my domestic helper.

For all these, as well as many other works hidden from sight, i would like to say a big thank you. It is always a pleasure to come across a local firm which has good business integrity and professionalism to get a job done with a high level of quality standard.

It is without any reservation to write this letter which i hope to pleasantly surprise you, as you have pleasantly surprised me with your professionalism, workmanship and business integrity.

When I was first looking for a contractor, I had only a few criteria – that the company should be reliable, do high quality work, but at the same time cost effective. In these aspects, Frankie and his team have delivered on all counts. Over the years, he had done 3 homes for me and I have gladly referred him to my own friends and contacts. Ours is like a partnership in which I tell him my vision and he let me know if and how it can be done. As I am at work most of the time, I entrust him to project manage the entire process for me and he is always willing to rectify any issues that was identified. Overall, while there are many other contractors out there, as far as I am concerned, I am happy with Frankie’s work and will continue to work with him for future projects.

Adrian Wu, Assistant Director, INSEAD Career Services

It was my 1st house in Singapore & I wanted it to be simple, elegant & done to my taste within a budget, which I was not ready to exceed. So I started searching well in advance for a interior designer before i got the possession of my brand new home. I went through many books, home decorating exhibitions, net surfing for best deals on design / renovations, friends advices on what to do & what not to do, meeting several interior firms boasting to be the best in the industry…..but none were able to satisfy me with what i wanted.

After more than 6months on the hunt I was ones invited my by friend to her house for a house warming function. I liked her place the moment I sight my eyes on it. Very tastefully done. I asked her about her interior designer & she mentioned she was very happy with him & the service he had delivered. I immediately took the contact & called Mr. Frankie a week later. The very next day we were sitting face to face for a meeting. It went for more than 3 hours with me explaining what I wanted & him listening and understanding my every demand. The following meetings were very fruitful with Frankie guiding us on very step & giving us his experienced advice. In spite of us discussing everything in details over the next few meetings, a clear picture of how my home would look was not coming into my mind. Frankie made it easy for me to understand by showing us the computer generated pictures &colorscheme’s of our home &i really started to see my dream come true. With Frankie it was so easy to discuss & put forward our wants & likes. He made it easy for us by coming to our house as per our convenience. His craftsmen were also very proficient and skillful in what they did and adjusted to our various alterations. Our home was ready as promised in less than 4 weeks. Working with Frankie had been so easy that by the time our home was done he had become a good friend of ours. Following our experience, I also recommended him to my friends who were looking for genuine person for their house renovations and their experience were the same as ours if not better.

The most important thing I wish to mention here is Frankie’s services are given to us even after we have moved into the house for over a year now. And that’s something i count on. I am enjoying the stay in my new home as things are done just the way I want…..thanks Frankie.

Area Concept has done 3 homes for us so far, and the 4th one is coming up. They are meticulous in handling of works and they really listen. I also like the fact they are prompt to rectify some minor issues we faced after the works.

Thanks Frankie, we will definitely come back for your services and recommend Area Concept to others.
