If i want to change the normal classic door to veneer door, is it necessary to change the door frame?

We got a very tight budget and it is very difficult to stay within the budget. How much $$ I left over after the renovation will determine my honeymoon location..

now need to settle FS master liao..

today received Plush Living quote. Darren win us over... we paid 1K deposit.. I dont think his quote is the cheapest.. i still havent seen all the quotes yet..but he win us over with his sincerity.. I hope i made the right decision.

We didnt tell them 40K lah... we told them 35K plus minus a bit.. in the end the quote is more than 40K..

received U Home quotation todae... way off our budget.... sian sian sian...

if i get a reno firm that is not HDB approved, will i have a problem with permits and stuff..

thanks pinkpetter for the pic..will show tat to my HB and see his opinion..

Is Maxden a brand for rubbish chute cover? Is it better than the normal stainless steel?? much more expensive? I will be staying on the 11th floor.. hopefully no smell...

ME 3!!.. i like sofa 1 better too.. look more comfortable.. =p

hmm i dont want to bend and throw rubbish..pinkpetter can show me ur slim cabinet???

where is s&c har? the furniture cheap?

hmm that bad??? can show some pic of the defective area??? They are under Radac..so i suppose they are quite reliable bah..

Those buying resale flats.. did u cover ur rubbish chute? I am thinking of leaving it open so that it is easier to throw rubbish. But was told that rubbish chute might smell.. hmmmm so any suggestions? I dont want to cover it by sink.. the super old fashion way coz it is soo troublesome to bend and throw rubbish..

havent update for some time already..coz L-A-Z-Y..hahahha For weeks..Mr J and I have been trying to iron our differences.. what we want for the house.. with different up-bringing..our expectations are can be quite different..finally we have a common understanding.. still not 100% common lah..but hee at least we can go to I.Ds and not say different things.. Some of the I.Ds we visited Artrend Design - We were service by Grant. No too bad.. he knows his stuff except because he is our 1st stop..so we are still very confuse over what we wanted for the house.. Still waiting for his quotation.. 2 wks liao..still no quote..he did call me up to check on some stuff and i press him for the quotation.. U Home - We were serviced by Sam. Who happen to be one of the boss. Very detail..bring us round the showroom and explain different materials to us. Good customer service. Show us renovation package..not really break down into details..we did ask for breakdown and was told that not possible to breakdown everything in the package but assure us that there will be gd workmanship and after sales service since they are such a big firm. Quite pushy.. want us to give a confirmation within 2 wk. We went to the following I.Ds yesterday at singapore expo. Modern Living 2009. Classis Ideas - We were serviced by Mike. He seems more like a high class contractor than a designer. Not much ideas and readily agree with our inputs. Show us a kitchen+ 2toilets package and promise to email me a full quotation of our requirement. Unimax Creative - Goner. Totally CMI. Or rather we came in contact with a CMI guy. No input..didnt offer to sit down with us ..just gave us their package together with his name card. Space Inspiration - Another goner. Same thing. Only pass us package + name card. No explaination nothing. Plus Interior - We were serviced by Nigel. A young designer. Very detail. Gave us a few new ideas and promise to call me after he is done with the quotation. Told me that it is better for him to explain the quote then email it to me. Not bad.. i think he is quite good. Except a bit young lah..dont know he how many years of experience in this line. * - We were serviced by the Henry. The M.D of the company. Good sales talk. Can see that he is very experience and know what he is doing. He is the only one that say he is confident of doing 800 x 800 homo tiles. Assure me that it is even better than 600 x 600 and was puzzled when i told me that everyone else don't dare to do 800 x 800 due to warpage issue. The only company that request us to take their design package @ 1.5K 1st . The reno package will come later or we can even find someone else to do our reno if we are not happy with their reno quote. Hmm..I dont really buy into the idea of paying 1.5K for 5 pcs of 3D drawings. Plush Living - I didn't know that Darren is one of the bosses. Gave us a new idea for our balcony. Good to talk too.. told us that to be assure that he will give us the best quote. So now waiting for his quotation. Basically we told everyone the same requirement. So we shall see how much everyone quote us. Interestingly no one ask about our budget!!!! hahah Do we look soo rich until dont have budget????

jenandy can post some pic of ur hse to take a look?

I am also interested in Impress21.. any feedback???

That is his problem mah.. not urs.. so he shd think of a solution for u.. [ quote name=jesperbg' date='Feb 17 2009, 11:03 PM' post='372779] Sigh...checked with contractor today tt the uneveness is due to different tile size as sizes differ from batch to batch...dunno how true..
