We were referred to M3 by a colleague who highly recommended their services. From the start, the designer, Montie, was meticulous, taking the time to interview us thoroughly to understand our needs, wishes, and requirements before creating a design. Throughout the process, Montie and project manager, Jason Lam, were incredibly helpful and prompt in addressing our requests, changes, and rectifications. The workmanship for our furnitures and carpentry was great, and any flaws we discovered were quickly resolved. The renovation was completed in good time, and ahead of our expectations. What stood out most was the ID’s promptness, practicality, and down-to-earth approach. Their experience was evident in how smoothly they handled our numerous requests and came up with solutions that worked for us. Overall, the experience was positive, and we are very happy with the results. A reliable and professional team that we would highly recommend to others.

M3 came highly recommended by 2 friends who both engaged designer Raeve. Unfortunately, she had to leave the country and Haikel (from my understanding, he is one of the bosses) took over my project. My experience seems to be quite different from that of my friends’. Haikel oversaw the kitchen countertop installation, which came with a complete crack in a portion of the countertop. This was not pointed out until I noticed it. This crack also looked like it had been patched up. It was later agreed that the broken countertop would be replaced. However, the replacement countertop was fabricated with a 1.1cm gap from from the edge of the countertop to the wall. I am unsure if this would have been installed had I not been present. After rejecting this piece, the workers proceeded to remove the countertop and chipped another slab of countertop. Due to the constant movement of the countertop, the backsplash was damaged, and I insisted that the damaged portion be replaced (especially since we had a lot of spare tiles leftover). However, the broken portion of the backsplash was merely stuck back on with silicon. This did not seem right, as the broken piece could be removed very easily. I had to demand for a proper replacement, which was eventually done. My unit was undergoing hdb’s HIP and it was made clear to Haikel that the toilets would have to pass HIP’s water test. One of the toilets failed the water test 3 times and had to undergo 3 rounds of rectification before passing on the 4th test. Without the requirement for the HIP test, I would not have known that the toilet had inadequate waterproofing. Haikel also repeatedly confirmed that a lintol had been installed above the door frame. The purpose of a lintol is to bear the weight of the wall above the door frame. Without it, the door frame may sag or collapse in the long run. We asked for a small portion wall to be hacked to prove the existence of the lintol. As it was not there, a bigger section of the wall had to be hacked to reinstate the lintol that was supposed to have been installed initially. There was a choke in one of my toilet pipes and I was first notified of the choke by the plumber (my uncle) when he first visited the site after hacking/ tiling/ plastering works. Haikel claimed that the choke is HDB’s responsibility, however a joint inspection conducted by HDB determined that this choke was due to earlier renovation works.

Needless to say, excellent work on the design and renovation services provided. Monti was practical on his genius suggestions while listen to our ideas .

M3 studios was recommended to me by a friend who had just recently engaged their services too. The entire renovation experience was smooth and I’m very satisfied with the journey and end results. Lia and Shawn both provided me with great advise when I shared my general direction and plan for the renovation. They were not only able to recommend me material and designs that suits my needs, but Shawn’s vast experience meant I could avoid unnecessary roadblocks and potential costs due to the nature of my unit (conservation building). Also I think some of my “must have” requirements are pretty unconventional but we were all able to think out of the box to achieve them. The journey had been very pleasant as Lia oversaw all the contractors’ work and provided me constant feedback with photos. Also as I am still staying in the unit, I am impressed with the team always making sure my house is tidied and cleaned up. I never expected that at all. Very professional. Whenever I found any defects they followed up promptly with touch ups or repairs. I will recommend M3 studios to others too!

We worked with Montie from M3 Studio. Communication was great, and he responded to queries in a timely manner. He listened to our ideas and requirements and provided both practical and design suggestions. He liaised with different vendors effectively and made the process of ideating, renovating and moving in very smooth. This being a new condo, he was involved with the defect check process and helped us identify what issues needed to be flagged up for rectification. There weren’t any significant delays during the whole process as well. We enjoyed working with him, and would definitely recommend M3 Studio for your ID needs.
