Well done sky creation. Not only your featured kitchen cabinet's doors still "bend it like beckham" after changing 3-4 times, you bathroom waterproofing leaks like no tomorrow. It's only like 5 years since my renovation. The government contractor doing waterproofing test for my bathroom commented that it is definitely bathroom proofing of the lousiest quality. My unlucky downstair neighbour must be cursing and swearing me for the water damage.... Once again, Well done Sky Creation. Good luck for all those engaging Sky Creation for your renovation.

Any one has any idea if you can buff tempered glass? I have read that all processing of tempered glass (drill hole, polishing, buffing etc) must be done before tempering, after which, things like buffing would very likely to cause the tempered glass to break. But my ID told me otherwise, my ID told me tempered glass is the type of glass that is suitable to do polishing/buffing. Any experts in this area to advice me whether to trust my ID?

Hi Martin, judging from what you want, I dun think you would get a quote less than 30K from SC. From my experience with them, the normal thing like hack and replace tile for whole house, paint whole house, kitchen cabinet etc, already abt 30K whatever boxup, vanity top in toilet, tv feature wall, built-in wardrobe, add door etc etc, will be done at extra cost (mbr wardrobe is quoted to be 2.4K, the rest you can work from there). Note that all these still exclude toilet accessories (toilet bowl, basin, tap etc etc), re-wiring (if you want to)

Hi Martin, just curious, what do you want to do for your renovation?

Hi Martin, I happened to engage skycreation. My ID promise to hand over the house on the 4th, if you can wait a few more days, I'll provide you with my evaluation about them.

Thks idealistic I will read up more to prep for my final showdown on 4th

@idealistic: Thanks So far they had been responding fast to my requests. Hopes that everything proceed on smoothly. I am having my TV, soundbar, washing machine and fridge delivered over on 8th Jan and my work is starting to get really busy. Hope that everything can be solve before 8th

Thanks May_dream1 The balance is 5% roughly less than $2K.

Just a thought, what do you guys expect from your ID? 1) To check on the progress of reno everyday? 2) To monitor and be the first to check the worksmanship for the reno? 3) To ensure wall and floor tiles are free of paint? 4) On-going renovation work does not stain/scratch/deface completed ones? 5) To spot/rectify flaws and update up automatically, instead of having you to spot renovation and called to ask for it to be re-done? 6) Provide design that their workers are produced at least 90% perfection? I'm not sure if I am too harsh/ expect too much of my ID? What do you guys think?

Thanks Seems like S & C, Hommage, OM are top of the list for many

Hi, anyone has any recommendation as to where to buy value for money sofa/dinning table/coffee table?

Recently engaged ** Pte Ltd to reno my resale unit. Its website and presentation looks impressive ( its price as well), but when the reno starts a few days ago, I am quite disappointed. Initially my ID told me the hacking would take 3 days, 2 days to hack, and 1 day to clear off the debris, so on the 4th day, which is today, i can be advised on the size of wc etc to be bought. I talked to my ID like 2 days ago (after the start of hacking) to fix the meeting today. But this morning, my when I called up my ID to confirm the meeting, I was told that the hacking was delayed because my kitchen wall is too thick. The hacking had to stop because the 3 day hacking permit from HDB has expired, my ID can only reapply on next monday, so hacking could only continue earliest next tuesday. I was like... well, if you initially told me that hacking should be done in 2 days, when it is still not done on the 3rd, shouldn't you as the ID who is monitoring the progress do something (like reapplying permit) and update me (call me to inform change of meeting date) instead of waiting for me to contact you? Give me stunt right at the of reno, I wonder what are all those awards listed on its website for. Clearly awards are not everything, I am going to closely monitor the reno, a bit of sad case after paying all those money to the ID to look after the project for me...
