Shunfu 5rm

[eugela 0]

Hi Everyone,

I have been reading this forum, soaking tons of info that everyone here contribute ever since I signed my OTP in Sep 09 to get this HDB 5rm in Shunfu.

1st Appt is scheduled on 1st Dec and I est my 2nd appt will be around mid Jan or so.

Have been spending almost every weekend looking at reno stuff and also trying very hard to get quotes from all the good contractors recommended by friends here. I am leaning to engage a contractor and not an ID as my reno is rather simple type.

Will try to update and post more photos upon getting my keys in Jan 2010, meantime here is my floorplan.

Initial plan is to

1. Redo both toilets and kitchen, meaning everything to go. Reposition common toilet door to enable me to fix a glass shower screen there as well as the MBR

2. Laminate for my bedrooms and probably Living/Dining area as well.

3. Level up the balcony to make the living room more spacious

4. Rewiring whole house

5. Replaster whole house wall and ceiling

6. Carpentry works for wardrobe in all bedrooms

Any suggestion welcome as I plan to confirm the contractor in Dec, probably would not rush for CNY Handover as it is almost impossible.

Thanks

Thanks Ossify, looking at your 1st and 2nd appt dates, I est I should get my 2nd appt right in the middle of Jan, maybe I can squeeze in all the hacking and wetworks before CNY and have the balance done after CNY to save some time.

Welcome to RT ! Looking at your floor plan, i like the dining and living rm area...looks nice and big, space wise also easy to plan as squarish layout for bedrooms. Have fun renovating !

Haha, replied your pm, I missed the boat on the one that you viewed.

JanD, that's one of the reason why I bought this place. Coupled with the convenient location with MRT and eateries.

Hi,

Congrats on getting your new home.

Suggest that you work out your budget for renovation and furnishings first and have about $5K extra just in case;)
