Hi Dan, pm please. Thanks

Hi Mr Contractor, thanks for all the sharing! Wishing you a Happy Chinese New Year!! Currently i have a problem, i wanted to seal up one of the common room door (beside master room) to become walk in wardrobe. I understand that once the metal door frame removed, some tiles on the floor and parquet in the room will need to redo. However my ID told me that the metal door frame cannot be removed became it is planted in the floor. He suggested partition together with the metal frame instead. Because of his suggestion, im now worried and troubled that the walk way will have uneven wall due to the extra partition on the door frame and i even suggested to my ID how about to partition the whole walk way instead to look even? He said can but he pointed to me that will need to replace the whole walk way skirting I believed the metal door frame can be removed as i have seen some other HDB renovation did the same too. And if it can be removed. Any idea how much will it be to remove and seal up? Im thinking of getting some other contractors to do it since he cannot Thanks!

Good day Mr. Contractor, So far this is the best information I have read in the forum for a layman. Thanks for the guidance and I was lucky to check with my ID that who will be liaising to get the tiles (Tiles originally from HDB) after hacking some walls. I was surprised that my ID throw back to me to call HDB and check who is the tiles supplier for my new flat and also to get the tiles quotation. Therefore I am confused whether is mine a ID or a contractor. In the end, I got frustrated and get him to do the job. He charged me hundred plus to buy and delivered the tiles Not sure if this is the practice, my quotation with my ID has been throwing to and back for the 5th to 6th times and I haven’t sign with them yet till everything is confirm. When we first met, we discussed the designs we wanted and 2 weeks later we received the quotation from them. After reviewing, we revert on the renovation works we felt necessary to stay in the quotation, however I realised that each time quotation reviewed, the “works” in the quotation list is getting lesser and lesser. Since items are getting lesser and lesser and the quotation price still remains the same, I assume his quotation is getting more and more expensive. Each time we asked, she / he gave us excuses like “previously forgot to quo, went to your house and we realised the item is bigger than we expected, under quo previously and previously is half height now is full height” I mean whether full or half height, this has been communicated during the first meet up. That means either he is not paying attention previously or he is trying to play around with the quotation. In the end we realised that he paying around with the quotation, she / he was taken aback during the last quotation, we removed a few items costing thousands and he went honest to tell us that she / he can’t give us anymore free items because we did not hit $60k. Honestly, what is wrong is IDs and Contractors nowadays? We understand that they need to eat and profit as well but not in this kind of attitude. Previously was even worst encountered with an ID who advertise his own house in magazine, we just called and enquired and guess what’s the first question he asked? “What’s your budget? If you don’t have $60K, don’t look for us!”
