Designing Homes,
Creating Experiences

Having done my first home renovation with Home Guide, I’ve gone on to recommend them to colleagues and friends who have also engaged their services. My vision for my first home was taken seriously and my designer gave practical and realistic advice for certain areas such as budget and material durability, that I was thankful for.

We did our house renovation with Home Guide designers Alissa and Sushi. They were very professional from the start. They gave enough time to properly understand our requirements and we didn’t feel rushed through in our discussions/meetings.

We have been engaging Home Guide for our first and second home. They have gained our trust as their experienced designer offers professional advice on the designing of our home based on our requirements, share fresh ideas, genuine feedback on pros and cons of our home concepts and is responsive to our enquiries.

It has been a pleasant experience to work with Lance Ching and the Home Guide Design team right from the start and until the very end of our project. Lance is a thoughtful, creative interior designer. He has a flexible approach and will work with you to incorporate any ideas and suggestions you may have; nothing was ever a problem.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Home Guide Design, specifically, Lance and Fu Hao, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final reveal, their team demonstrated a perfect balance of creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail.

Our renovation journey started in 2008 with Lance. He impressed us with his sense of design and professionalism. Have since engaged him 3 more times over the years – the latest was our new home in June.

This is an overdue review but as they say it’s better late than never. I had the pleasure of working with Alissa Chan again on my home renovation, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Alissa demonstrated exceptional professionalism.

We’d totally recommend Alissa Chan and her team from Home Guide, who went above and beyond to make sure our home renovation was successfully completed to our liking, and well within the stipulated time. We were updated on each stage of the renovation process, and she made sure the money invested was well worth it!

We have very positive experience working with Project Director/ID Mr Lance Ching Yew Fatt, ably helped by his assistant Ms Cherie Saw. Lance spent substantial time with us discussing our requirements, showed us the interior designs of our home renovation before starting work. He also brought us to select the necessary tiles and bathroom accessories from vendors. More importantly, Lance and his team worked according to an agreed project schedule and delivered/handed the apartment to us on time & schedule. Though the renovation cost is not low, both my wife and I felt that we have worked with a competent team and the money spent is worth it and we are satisfied with their work. Thank You.

We used HG for our 2,056 Sq Ft recently purchased condo renovation: bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. We chose HG because we were familiar with work they did on another home in addition to being one of the few IDs who were willing to do a site visit at no extra cost. This was our first time using an ID. Quite honestly, we went into this with HG not being our top choice, but they won us over by their attention to detail, speedy response, and very reasonable prices. Alissa is the ID whom we worked with, and we were extremely impressed with the personalized recommendations/suggestions and above all, her professionalism. She would point out so many details which we had never imagined/thought of. Her suggestions were always very appropriate yet not too aggressive. She guided us in the right direction with her experiences. Below are specific points I’d like to highlight: – During the site visit, Alissa showed up with pen, paper and a tape measure and we observed that she was diligently drawing pictures, taking measurements and taking many photos. This is in stark contrast to another designer from The Scientist who performed a walkthrough and did a lot more talking than Alissa did, but in the end lacked the expertise and follow-up which Alissa demonstrated. – Our renovations included conversion of the kitchen into an open concept plan, conversion of guest bedroom into a multi-functional room, which not only expanded the size of our living area, but also serves as our family/TV room, as well as a guest bedroom, and finally, modernizing the bathrooms with colorful, more modern tiles, vanity, bathtub and shower. – Built/designed much needed cabinets for storage, etc. Like a good executive, Alissa wasted no time and proved to be a very effective delegator to the subcontractors, but maintained close contact with us every step of the way. Her team members were also like her — very professional and work in time efficient way. Alissa’s follow-up/responsiveness was lightning fast, even a few weeks post-completion. For things she was not directly involved with, she acted very promptly to help us (e.g. getting a new hot water heater etc.). Overall we couldn’t be happier!! Alissa did a fantastic job to transform our condo into a cozy home, and are happy to recommend her services

Hi this is Shradha! Alissa was our ID for our previous two renovation and just like the previous two, third one was no exception. Super organised and highly experienced. We loved her patience and her suggestions. She was with us through the entire process and together we have completely revamped our condo flat. Timely delivery and understood our requirements and needs. Superb work and super responsive.. it was great working with you Alissa and we highly recommend her as she is a rockstar when it comes to her craft! She would always inform us about the benefits and drawbacks and took care of every minute aspect. Timely we could be in our space and a million thanks for that. From stage one of recommendation to the designs and the final product ..

It has been an absolute delight working with Sushi from Home Guide Interior Design and Renovations. She is very helpful and responsive. And best of all, she is always willing to share her views on the pros and cons certain options/approaches to the renovation. And she is always able to strike the delicate balance between the practical aspects as well as the aesthetical aspects. This is especially important for us because such understanding of practical issues can only be obtained through years of experience. Thanks Sushi for all your help and invaluable advice. And we will definitely approach you if we want to do further renovations in the future

I was truly blessed and thankful to have Lance from Home Guide to design and handle house renovation for me. He is trustworthy and his service throughout is very commendable. My ideas were being brushed off or being modified in large scale by other ID firms with reason not feasible due to flat size and space constraints. Lance listened patiently on my ideas. Lance was the only ID asked for site visit to take measurements on site even only for quotation. When I had the proposal from Lance, I was impressed as his proposal was what I want for my home. What ID from other firms told me not possible, Lance was able to make it! Lance gave great ideas, recommendations, professional advice and a great guide throughout the whole process. You can trust his taste as it always turn out great. Lance is detailed and thoughtful as these can tell from his proposal. His design not only from aesthetics standpoint but also provides practical solutions. Workmanship was good. Any issues were immediately rectified with prompt follow up. Project management was great. Professional and reliable service. Home Guide has transformed my flat, a place I proud to call my own. Thanks Home Guide and Lance!

After meeting a few IDs and firms, I had decided to go with Lance to help with the renovation of my HDB resale flat. During the consultation, Lance not only showed understanding of my needs, but what I appreciated and which led to my ultimate decision was how he openly shared practical considerations I had never thought about as an eager first-time home owner. I appreciated his down-to-earth opinions and evident experience, and felt very comfortable to have him manage my home project. Throughout the renovation, Lance was extremely patient during the time we needed to make key decisions. He continually offered his thoughts, never pushy, and helped me narrow down my options until I reached my ultimate choices. You can trust his taste as it always turned out well or better than my original choices; from tile choices to wall paint colours. He was also detailed, taking my height measurements into consideration for all the placements of my bathroom accessories and space allowances needs for my carpentry. Speaking of carpentry, Lance managed to fulfil my challenging wish to have a high bar table, a lower dining island and shoe storage needs all housed within one transformable carpentry in my small living room. Having heard of other horror reno stories, I feel blessed that Lance was my project manager. He is trustworthy and has made my home ownership journey really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend him to others. Thanks Lance!

Alissa of Home Guide is simply the Best! She is not only experienced, detailed and excellent with her design advice, she is ever so patient – especially with someone as picky as me. She often went the extra mile to help me make the right choices throughout, suggesting, but never imposing ideas that I was not comfortable with. The renovation works which I have engaged the ID for is pretty major – knocking down walls, pulling down false ceilings, reconfiguring the kitchen and dining areas, changing the floorings, installing built-in cabinets etc. It was a total makeover. The entire process from the consultation and design stage right through to the renovation/construction and handover went without a hitch. The close supervision of the process by Alissa and her team ensured the smooth process even though a lot of juggling was needed because the project works started immediately after the circuit breaker was lifted. I am more than happy with the quality of the work and the outcome of the renovations. Even more satisfied with the decision to choose Home Guide after discussing with at least 4 other firms. I’m soo thankful to my dear friend who introduced Alissa to me. I highly recommend her and Home Guide to anyone looking for a ID you can trust to do a good job.

We just had our home renovated. This project was overseen by Alissa and her team, including Sushi. We are happy to have engaged Home Guide a second time as our Interior Designer! The most recent project took us about 10 weeks to complete. During this time, the team displayed integrity, responsibility and professionalism- displaying the right attitude while being solution focused from the onset. They have great listening ears and organizational skills which helped our project to be completed on time. Their patience with us was amazing! We are so happy in our new home. Thank you Alissa and Sushi for the amazing work done! We would highly recommend the Home Guide Team to anyone looking to design their home.
