My contractor (not finalised) is quoting me following for L shaped ganite top for my kitchen. Total length should be around 15 ft. - china granite - 110 pfr - india granite - 180 pfr Is it reasonable?

any update on the group purchase

I have a service balcony also (apart from main balcony). What permit I need, if plan to put a spa pool/jacuzzi? How much will it cost?

dun mind if u could pm me the contact from where you got your aircon. i am also looking for same.

Planning to do: - Big mirror - pelmet lighting with warm lights - shelvs with some plant feature - box up the pipes (find expensive!) Any other ideas?

Mine is a resale flat but as previous owner was not staying, the unit is still brand new. Both the toilets are still default hdb design (beige colour tiles, seat and basin). As I am short of budget, what is the minimum I can do to make it cosy? (I don't think I have budget to change/overlay tiles)

For me, I love balcony. I am not removing the sliding doors and not putting the grills in balcony. However, looking for option to put chengai flooring, some water feature, relaxing chair/or swing chair (all depending on budget)

Roughly how much should i expect for laying chengai wood for my outside balcony. The area is roughly 76 sqft.

You are right. I indeed looking for RAS3M20S2AX and RASM10SKPX x3. No I don't need bracket. The quote I received is $1990 (including GST)

Yes. I guess all Sengkang units are with bomb shelter

Im eyeing on Toshiba Sys3 non-inv. My reno will start in Oct end, as such need aircon sometime in 1-2 week of Nov.

no, near sculpture park (pr*** supermarket)

No. Only changing PVC water pipe to SS. What is the standard pricing? Is it based on pfr or lumpsu? My contractor quoted lumpsum only.

me from sengkang. compassvale st. 130 sqm first appt. this friday (10 oct)

I'm still in dilema whether to change the pipes, coz my contractor quoted me $1000 for changing PVC to Stainless Steel for kitchen and 2 toilets. Is it really necessary to change?

Looks fine to me. My contractor quoted me: study table: 120 pfr top hung cabinet: 120pfr dun mind, pm me your carpenter contacts?

what is the current renovation pricing? My ID is quoting the following. Is it reasonable? - kitchen cabinets (pfr) - $105 - solid tops for kitchen cabinets (pfr) - $75 - granite top for kitchen cabinets (pfr) - $110 - kitchen cabinet base (lumpsum) - $350 - bedroom wardrobes with casement door (pfr) - $220 - study table (pfr) - $200 - bookshelf (pfr) - $200 - shoe cabinet (pfr) - $150 - false ceiling (pfr) - $15 - hacking one wall and patching - $580

Looks like I have to go with option 3. There is no energy saving fluorescent tubes? what is the power rating of tubes by the way?

Thanks. True, I will save by down lighting, but I don't need any direct lighting. That was the reason for me going for false ceiling (a.k.a drop ceiling) with cove lighting. Need to get the best of both - cove lighting and energy saving. Am I expecting too much?

I was discussing with a contractor (haven't finalised yet for my reno) regarding the false ceiling with cove lights. My idea is to use energy saving lights. He suggested to use fluorescent tubes coz, tube is long, it will make a continuos stretch of light instead of 'pockets' of light due to bulb. My reason: - save on electricity - switch on as many lights I want to make a cosy of bright env (not to forget as many switches) Will there still be considerable amt of saving or it is my speculation only? Is there anrgy saving tubes also avail? then it will solve my issue.

Just curious, those with laminate flooring, let me know have you ever felt static electric shock using the laminate floor. Saw some Pergo series have static protection. Does this means other series/brand don't have?

True. Because the quotes I received so far very exp. almost $400 per window. All hv suggested to box up the area with doors and shelves. Is it really needed to box up the area? Can't it be done by only putting the shelves and door?

Currently it is tiles all over (flat surface). I understand a drop can not be done. I presume, the screen door comes with some rubber kind of thing at bottom which keeps it flush with the floor. After bath, once the door is opened (door open inside) it will wipe the floor and push any water inside. If I keep a towel outside floor, do I still need a kerb? Any comments?

Please PM me sample renovation excel sheet which I can send to contrators to quote the price. Don't know how to write in detail so as to get itemised pricing.

My house has got recessed area under the window. Not too much deep, about 20-24 cm (uneven ). I thought to have it boxed with shelves, but not enough depth to fully utilize. Don't want the box to protrude out. Anyone has done anything better?
