ID-hunting

I had a very vague and basic idea of what I wanted for my renovation, simply "Modern Contemporary" with various shades of silver, gray, black and white. I was hoping to find someone experienced in renovation work whom I could trust with not just the coordination but also the overall theme, design and details, choice of colors, laminates types, matching handles, additional materials, (mirrors, metal strips) & such.

This person (ID, coordinator, contractor) you chose to work with for the next 2 to 3 months, determines the success of your renovation. Get the wrong person, you can almost guarantee that things will go wrong and you will be forced to relent or make do. It was probably my mistake that I settled for the cheapest of the lot due to a budget constrain. What I got back in return was less than ordinary ideas, shabby work (carpentry) and gross disappointment.

If I could do it all over again, I would have scrutinized all the shortlisted IDs on every field before I make my decision.
