Hi all,
I am currently looking to do some renovation on my existing 5 Rm HDB (almost 5 year old) but have a lot of questions.
We are intending to do the following but have no idea which one to start first. As we are thinking of arranging for individual contractors for specific areas, we will need to know which item should happen 1st:
1) the paint in our hdb is peeling and it is possibly due to waterproofing problems in the toilet (might be common toilet or MBR toilet). We will hiring someone to identify the problem and that will require hacking of the floor tiles. HDB has done a pressure check and its not due to the leaking pipes. Problem occurred only after we started utilising the common toilet more heavily.
2) we want to change the location of the room door. Will we need to hack away the whole wall or can we just get the contractor to hack part of the wall to create a door frame and a door and fill up the place where the original door was?
3) as a result of (2), we will obviously need to tile the areas affected by hacking and building
4) we also want to do some relocation of electrical points and lights
5) we will also need to repaint the whole house
6) hack away wardrobe in the MBR and build new ones in new areas
7) we have a solid surface vanity top in MBR toilet but the sink has highly discoloured over the years. Can we keep the solid surface vanity top and get contractor to 'drill' away the sink and replace it with a ceramic one?
8) replace MBR toilet door to bi fold (currently swing door)
I think the order should be 1,2,4,6,7,8,3,5.
Sorry for the numerous questions and sub questions. Really appreciate helpful comments!
Thanks!
