Hi Vince,

As you say, there are a lot of ID's out there. We have spoken to several. The service levels vary and some Interior Designers appear to want money up front even for coming up with some prelim ideas so watch out. We were put on to one local company from an M&E Consultant I know here in Singapore who we have met with on a couple of occasions now and we are feeling quite comfortable with them at this stage. They are a local Penang firm who do commercial and residential projects in the area.

It is never easy to get work done to the standard westerners expect in Malaysia so we are going in with our eyes open and have a good idea of what to expect. We are happy to share our experiences with you.
Sue
