Just a word of caution if you wish to engage CT Square to renovate your premise. 1. Tiling workmanship is horrendous, or I should say is one of the worst I have ever seen. Workmanship is not average, is definitely very very bad. Starting from living room,kitchen and 2 bedroom - There are at least 15 pieces of lippage or in laymen's term it's known as uneveness between adjoining tiles. FYI I am using 600 x 600 homogeneous tiles. Reason for such uneveness is obvious due to poor cement substrate leveling. Instead of admitting such flaw, they are trying to remedy the situation by applying white cement to fill the grout. What's the point? Despite their effort in replacing affected tiles, the uneveness is still felt throughout my living room, bedroom & kitchen due to the fact that the cement substrate is already settled in. Moreover I can't imagine my living room tiles has a gradient using spirit level. 2. Toilet floor tiles - Totally no gradient. Water ponding is evident throughout the toilet when a buckle of water is splashed throughout. Remedy? - To replace selected tiles. But what is the point when the bedding is not screeded to proper gradient? FYI I had even specifically reminded the tiler - somemore is the foreman prior to laying that the flow gradient must be achieved consistently but it was never materialised. I am speechless when I saw pool of waters stagnant around toilet. The only way is to re-hack & re-lay the entire floor tiles to make good the bedding which means further delay expected. Apart from the above which is the most important aspect of renovation package, the remaining works such as carpentry,plumbing etc are pretty ok. Just my 2c worth

Hi, I am planning to 'hide' the cooker hood, toaster & microwave switches inside cabinet right above cooker hood. Is it advisable to do so to achieve a cleaner look rather than exposing most of switches against back splash? Will it be rather inconvenient to open top cabinet everytime you wish to use appliances? Another alternative is to hide the respective switch on corner of designated compartment.
