for my new home, I engaged this Shifu by the name of Master Dai Hu. if one is keen to engage a FSM, i suggest you do it before your ID draw out any plans, else there will be many amendments. very headache. but it helps if you have a pre-conceived idea of what you want to do for your house, then the FS consultation will be more fruitful.
Master Dai Hu did the fengshui for a few of my colleagues. The before and after effect was really different. Their homes feel more welcoming & comfy, and you just want to linger around in the house. I know he also did corporate FS for a local maid agency for their 8 outlets, a bak kwa chain store and some govt offices.
He charged $488 for my 4-room flat. He gave me the dates for the various BIG events of a new home : open door date, earth-deity thanking ritual (xie tu), dong tu (commencement of reno) etc. He taught us the dos and don'ts for the open door ritual. He also did the xie-tu for us at a charge of $108, prior to reno. Interestingly, during the xie tu, the incense sticks ash coil around in a clockwise direction. Accoring to my dad and Shifu, it means the Earth Deity is happy with the prayers & offerings. My colleagues had the same experience too. =] i mus say, my reno had been pretty smooth..hehe
Master Dai Hu is very detailed. He spends, like a couple of hours, doing the FS survey. He makes us repeat what he had advised at the end of the session, ensuring that we understand his instructions well. Hubby & I followed his advice to a T - paint colours, furniture placement, curtain colours, kitchen layout, how to harness the good energy and negate the bad fengshui areas in our home.
What we like is that he's not the kind that ask you to buy this and that, or hack here and build that. Jovial n dedicated FSM, he knew we were on a shoestring budget, so he make it as practical & economical as possible for us to improve the house's fengshui. Liked the way our house had turned out...very nice n inviting =]
