## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Let me walk you through exactly how it worked, so you know what to expect.
### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268
I sent a text to **9898 9268**.
They asked for:
- Door size
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your measurements ready before you message.
### The Measurer Came to Us
Booking was easy – just a few messages back and forth.
What happened during the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We chose our design – white powder coated finish
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
**Important note:** A deposit is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Also, make sure the **decision maker** is home. Learn from my mistake!
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth every day.
### What Happened on Installation Day
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a time slot. Ours was 10am-12pm.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
He:
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Put in our brand new space saving door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. Great after-sales service.
We paid the final payment on the spot via PayNow.
