Hi future neighbour, great to have you here! My contractor is Andy from K2LD Builders. You can check out their FB PAGE. My quotation is about $41k, excluding $3k electrical works and also $5k floor works. Definitely not the cheapest around. You need to be rather involved in the design process. I will give a full review upon completion.

Hi ElsaAnna, it is about sgd $1k, inclusive of the top hung tracks. Door feels solid and wider than main door.

I was away for work in China for 5 days and was waiting excitedly every night for the daily updates of the Reno progress via Whatapps from my wife. 17 to 23 Sept 2014 - Day 03 to 08 of Renovation Andy's team is really detailed and experienced. After hacking & dismantling works, chipping off those embedded metal stabilizer strips and metal clips were promptly done before wet works touch up & plastering works. Plumbing joints were also extended and sealed up well with the white tapes. Existing kitchen and toilet wall surfaces are plastered and ready for tiling works. 1st phase of Plastering works completed and the next phase will have a more smooth end results before Painting works. Service yard windows are also up. Very satisfied with it! Tracks were well run and the windows seems thicker and solid. No annoying sound made during sliding. I liked how the uncle mixed the "cement cocktail" using an handheld blender! I was really worried about how both my toilet designs will turn out especially when I had "invested" a fair bit of "moolah". For the common toilet, I wanted to create a barn like feel and initially wanted to leave the top portion raw and painted white but decided in the end to go with the white mosaic tile finishes to avoid mouldy problems. Looking forward to the grout line laying for a more defined look. The overlaying of the MBR Toilet wall tiles is also half completed and awaiting for the other customized glass mosaic tiles to arrive around mid Oct. Andy's subcon was experienced to point out to me that there will be a thickness difference between both tiles at the joint areas and I told him that it is something I can accept. Once in a while, he likes to put these "disclaimer statements" to avoid future disputes among all parties which is great for me as I need someone who can help me identify the "blind spots" in my design.

15 Sept 2014 - Day 02 of Renovation Today is actually the first day for Andy's team as they normally do not commence demolition work on Saturday which was Day 1. However we had a detailed joint discussion with both the professional tiler and electrician on my requirements and purchases of renovation materials and scheduling of works was also efficiently arranged by Andy. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of works completed in 1 day! Well within the approved period stated on the HDB permit. And the best part of it is I get timely pictorial updates. I was able to see today's renovation progress around 10 PM just now. 1. Demolition works for BR3 L-walls & Door frame 2. Demolition works for Kitchen L-wall entrance 3. Dismantling work for SY windows & bi-fold door 4. Dismantling work for existing sanitary accessories and toilet bowls 5. Clearing of debris to dumpster truck 6. Upload of renovation materials to house 7. On-going electrical works (About 40% completion) 8. Coordination with vendor to have SY new sliding windows measurements taken :dancingqueen:
