Make Sure You Expect The Unexpected - Benjamin Toh
In this brutally honest episode of The SIXiDER Show, we talk about what really happens when homeowners try to go the DIY route—without fully understanding what they’re getting into.
Joining us is Benjamin Toh, founder of M2D (formerly M2 Decor) and the designer behind Quan Yi Fong’s home, as we dive into the 3 most common types of DIY renovation approaches:
🛠️ 1. Everything Hands-On – You're in full control, but at what cost?
🔄 2. Hybrid – A mix of self-managing and working with freelancers or IDs.
📞 3. Go Direct – Engaging contractors directly… but skipping the design phase.
We explore:
– Why DIY renovations often go sideways
– Common mistakes homeowners make when trying to save money
– The hidden costs of “going direct”
– When to call in the professionals
– Why trust, planning, and communication matter more than ever
💡 If you're planning a reno and thinking “how hard can it be?”, watch this first.
