Oh yes, my builder contractors are very skilful, the workers are from Singapore and Malaysia only. Tiles are neat, now look at the cememt plastering, even more neat:

Someone asked how are corner tiles being finished? Some use corner pvc pieces, but personally I think that is unsightly. I prefer how my contractor did, cutting 45 degrees to the edge of the tiles and join the 2 pieces of 45 deg like this:

Unless got specific instruction, otherwise Contractor usually do the easiest way. Know them too well, so I go to very detail with the different contractors aircon, electrical, plumbing and builder,I decide on the location and even tell them where to run and where not to run their services. What ceiling height i want for each area, and how low the false ceiling to lower also have to follow my instruction.

Hi Bro, now 27th liao, can take over liao!!

Hi Suyun, Understand that you are going to tile the stairs. Are you tiling both the steps and the risers? How do you intend to treat the edge of the tiles? Just thinking abt tiling also, but would like to know how you 'finish' the edge of the tiles?

I actually plan the loop the lights myself, which light is individual switching, which lights cluster same switch, which light is 2-way switch etc, even locating the exact position of the switches, so that what the guys install is what I want, easier for them to carry out the work

Looks big, what's the build up?

Well no choice, CCTV vendor charges me too expensive, so do myself lor

Ok, renovation no inspection required

Yr hse too big lah, cannot manage. Haha

I think this power point should be linked to an external switch outside the toilet for emergency cutting off of power supply. Bro, yr hse got TOP inspection or not? Or just renovation?

Hi for CCTV, I DIY.

ok, maybe show you some other aircon related photos for you to watch out: lay the refrigerant pipes and drain pipes first along the edge of the wall. Then after testing of the pipes, conceal them using box up to make it look nicer Then after, the fan coil unit to be mounted onto the box up, seamless clean look

Wow, just 2 person in such big house.

For tiles that lay at 90 degree angle, to produce a clean cut straight line without thick 'grey' section, one have to cut both tiles at 45 deg, can be done. Will show you the photo of what's done in my hse. I don't think laying staggered will cause warping of floor tiles. Just that laying staggered will require more work and more tiles cutting ( meaning more wastage) especially when come near to the walls.

I coordinated closely with the aircon contractor where to run the aircon pipes, so before closing up of ceiling, just to check one more time, they are in order: After the aircon pipes have been laid, false ceiling guy comes in to box up and conceal the pipes: Another angle

Hi Suyun, I had pm you my location and price.....

Hi Pinkflowers, I pm you the location already

For innovar, roughly how much psf?

Someone asked about which type of aircon insulation is preferred. This is my choice:

Look at the amount of new aircon refrigerant piping + drainage system.

You mean you like the hot 'laksa' or the 3D house design? Haha
