Dear all, Need some advice on this. I was recommended by an id to hack and relocate my electrical main in order to suit the design I want. I raise my doubt and he mentioned that it can be done,only need to seek approval from hdb. But the thing was, I gotten a 2nd opinion from another ID and they said this is illegal, a few friends of mine say so too. So who is right

Sure.

Hi Devilaz, So no need to share ideas with them 1st? okok. I will be meeting 2 IDs this sat. probably another 2 next week. Just want to check with the rest of you too. Those ID or contractors firm from the exhibition show. Are they more realiable and better? or their quote will usually be more expensive? Thanks

Hi Witty and Dan, Do PM me the contractor info and contact. A million Thanks

Hi Thanks Mike. In order to get the service of contractors.. I must already know what I want and provide the design to them?? or contractors can come out with drawing themselve

Hi all, My 1st post here. I will be getting the keys for my HDB in 1st Q 2014. Now starting to look for ID / contractor. ( I am not too early to do so. am I) Pardon me but I know nuts about Reno as too many advices here and there has been given.. It's only making me more confuse... I have a few questions which hopefully some bros and sis here and advice 1. IDs or contractors better?? Or can I do 1/2 contractor 1/2 ID? How to ensure they are reliable and will not run away 2. For a new 5room Flat with no flooring. A full reno, how much am I looking at? 3. How long does it takes for a 5room flat to be fully reno. 4. Are there any recommended ID or Contractors you guys can intro? So far I only comfirmed that my curtain will be coming from this spencer curtain whom my family has been using for years due to the good services and one of the better pricing. ( 97736237 is the no. if anyone interested) Anyway, saw some other forums recommended this and that but not too sure how to identify the real deal and those doing self advertising Thanks for the help. If you are a ID or Contractor.. Feel free to PM me too.. but do not spam here. Thanks
