Hi Adidaem, You are fast! Thanks for your prompt reply! I have PM'ed Kooky previously and anxiously waiting for her reply. My hb had this idea previously but we were sceptical if it could be done. But after seeing Kooky's pictures, we were convinced!

Hi Fellow EM owners, I need some advice. We are planning to change the orientation of our stairs. Only the bottom half to be exact. I have seen it done previously but now for my submission, I am having some problems. The entry of the stairs is now facing my main door, and I would like to change it to face the kitchen instead. We do have a PE ready to endorse but now we are told we need to get approval from BCA? That would take 2 months and another 8k. ;( We wanted to work around it by adding an additional flight of stairs to join the landing and covering up the original bottom half so that technically, we are not changing the structure and orientation by hacking. Now we are stuck since adding another flight of stairs requires BCA approval.

Hi Vdubber, Thanks for updating, will be looking forward to see the progress of your place too!

Hi Vdubber, We went there specifically to have a look at their design. And you are right, their odd-shaped rooms kinda threw us off. But level 1 was truly a beauty. And the agent was trying to convince us that 150 COV was very worthwhile.. lol Hmmm, what is the purpose for the letter of undertaking? My contractor's only gripe was the weight of the raised deck. He mentioned that there are new regulations now and he just did one place with a raised deck, hence he knows how to get the application approved. Something to do with the material you are using etc. You may want to double check with your IDs. I have not given detailed thought about the railings yet, but thanks for the heads up, I better start checking on what to do. The wood tiles feel is definitely different. But maintenance weighed more for us, especially since we have kids and a dog. Wood tiles are about $4-$7 psf. Depending on country and size. We are considering the 15 x 60 rectangular long stripes. Hi 3Dyms, Have been following your T-blogs and learnt alot from you and all the other EM owners!

Hi Vdubber, I have the same thoughts as you. In fact, I stole the entire design from the place at Pasir Ris! Lol! We also wanted to create an outdoor feel for our abode and the raised decked worked perfectly when we went to view the same unit with this design. However, after speaking to many contractors, they have raised their concerns regarding getting the approval to raise the height. For maintenance wise, we chose to go with wood tiles into of timber decking.
