Hi Cookiesmonster, I will be doing it at a temple, pray pray for 7th month.

Hi spearhawk, Actuall you can ask Gary to break down all the item quoted individually. I also on tight budget for the reno, so i requested him to do breakdown, then I decide which to do n which not to. : ) Then as for the brand of the item included, u can also ask him. If you dun like the design, just ask to provide installing labour, and you get to buy the design you like. As for workmanship, what i do is that i provide his man with lunch, tea break, coffee everyday and a carton of canned or packed drinks for them. I learned this from my friend who engage them earlier. Good result so far, his man will update me what they doing etc.... Will update pic when i find out how to do it.

Hi Howeas, U got PM.

This one quite nice. http://stickco.multiply.com/journal

Ya, it really depend on urself and your elders. lol. if they not ok with it, then they will do the 'chant' on you. As for me, my reno will stretch over 7th month, FHB will be moving in also during 7th month, but the actual day for 'official staying-in" will be in Sept (after 7th mnth).

My reno work is done by Gek Jin. Today is the 4th day of work, so far so good. I agree that their price is good, cos me too have a tight budget. Some might think that with such a low price, their work might not be good. Remember? They are contractor not ID, so it is reasonable to me that their fee is lower then ID. So dun expect them to do space planning for you, you have to do some homework yourselves. As for supervision, of course, you have to do it. Even it’s a well known ID, supervision is absolutely necessary, otherwise, all our clerk-of-work will be out of job le. : D As for fixture like: w/c, basin, heater etc etc. They quote you based on what they have, but you might not like the design they have. So my advice is, just ask them to provide the labour for fixing and you get your ideal w/c, etc. And the most important of all. Ask whatever you dun understand. Communitcation is the most important, if you have any questions call them, if they are busy, sms them he will call you back.
