Sorry to hear about that. Most contractors are work independently, so they take care of several projects sometimes so as to earn more. Its goes the same to some house owners also, due to budget constraint, how many willing to pay more for better services, at least 2 persons are taking care of the project together, eg. supervisor/coordinator and manager?

kitchen cabinet takes around 2 weeks to be completed. carpentry 5 days, then solid surface or granite another 1 week depend on their schedule. Follow by electrical and plumbling works. If having tempered glass backsplash, for HDB project, normally 7-10 working days. That's the ideal goes with the flow, slow and steady work schedule for kitchen cabinet. Of course there is a 1 week completion for kitchen cabinet too..look for IKEA..lol..just joking.

Don't worry, be happy. Renovation is always a stressful process, there bound to be hiccups here and there,its a norm, so take its lightly as long as its not those very serious issues.

Thanks you

This is normal. 2 ways of doing that for the quotation, 1 include laying of wiring and trunkings with installation of lighting, another is separate laying of wiring/trunkings and installation of lighting fixtures into 2 items. As for what type of lighting fixture, the house owner will need to buy and supply it to the electrician/contractor/ID.

Overall I find it reasonable,things have been going up, levy,materials,etc...but not our salary... , happy renovating.

Yup, that's for lighting.com.sg, should be $30 1st point follow by $7 but that's the price for 2 yrs ago, think its more ex. now ....delivery fee another charges.

Sorry for disappearing for so long, its been a while, wonder is any of the old forumers still around

Don't worry Sis, there isn't any prefect Reno in this world, because no man are perfect... Lol. So u need to take it easy sometimes, don't stress too much on yourself. Wishing u all the best.

Nice and smooth going progress of your Reno.

U looking for me?

And don't worry cos I will be her assistant throughout the project.

I do agree on that, short term pain for long term gain. Just like renovation. . My whole house using LED costing around $4K. Monthly bill is about $2-300.

Hahaha, there are more than that. Such as lol(laughing out loud), etc.... We learning it from the Y-Gen, so that we able to know what they referring too. Nowadays, the teenager are very 'creative'...lol

Hmmm.... I have not come across on the word Masterbed room but what normally saw was Master Bedroom instead or making it short MBR.

Looking all good.

U need to hack the flooring and the bottom last piece of wall tiles to do a proper water proofing. Whole hacking is not really necessary, but just to do that alone without any other works, doubt any ID will want to take up the job.

Unless u don't mind about waterproofing issues, u can just remove and replace with tiles on the bare and damage area. Normally doing this will not carry warranty for water leakage in future.

If u able to compromise with some of the cons of the wood tiles which stated in my T-blog, then wood tiles are the one for u. To save some cost, u may consider vinyl wood flooring for your bedrooms(overlay it, save cost from hacking). For those more expensive wood tiles that Newynew posted are those with texture feeling, for those cheaper ranges are those smooth feeling just like some laminate flooring.

Congrats on starting of your reno.

They feel ok for my family. Not that cold, seriously I didn't notice that, maybe used to it already . Immediate guess is no. I'm having wood tiles becos my wife like wood, but I also know the cons of laminate and parquet, furthermore I have two kids. It all weighted down to look, practical and lasting for me to decide using the wood tiles for the bedrooms.

Jib doors...ah...not common in resident but most shopping center shops they do have it, mostly cover with wall sticker/wallpaper to hide the store room. Is also used for concealing the bomb shelter or book cabinet too. It depend on how good the designer design it to make it look unnoticeable.

Yup I saw your pm. As now I'm outside using iPhone so didn't scan thru everything. My email jaskel1623@gmail.com
