lookaround

Day 2(Sat) reno pictures, went back to the flat to meet electrician and id to finalize the materials and dicuss about the electrical works. Also did receive the 1st draft of the 3d drawings. As per the work schedule, today is basically wet works, nothing much to update. Took a few snaps of the house reno when the workers went for their lunch break.

Meanwhile also took some pics of the state of our reno Kitchen wetworks Service yard wetworks seems to have completed. Arrival of our aircon Day 4 - Vesak Day PH (No progress)

Not sure what sort of freelance if u are looking for ? Those that are doing on a adhoc project basis or as a job. But to share with my experience, I was quoted abt 3 k by a freelance id for services which will be on top of whatever charges his contractor charges.

Will share all mine ID/Contractor reviews in another post once i have the time. Anyway to cut the story short, after the signing of the contract, our ID arranged for work to be done on last friday. Thus, decided to make surprise visit to the flat to view the progress. Day 1 Attached are the work that have been done on the 1st day of the renovation. Basically the entire flat has been wrapped with corrugulated paper. The delivery of sand and hdb tiles already arrived on that same day. Kitchen Living room with some offering Bedroom Bedroom Bedroom What can i do with the remaining bundle of corruglated paper ?

Hi Songz, This is the floorplan of the flat and it is about 90sqm. Hi 11finger, i check for defects on my own as i actually took about half a year searching and confirming my ID after i collected the keys.

Somehow not able to logged on to renotalk for the last few days. Anyway reno works have begun and the cost for haulage disposal is $600. Breakdown as below. Haulage fees $350 Lay Corrugulated paper to entire flat $50 Purchase of additional tiles for service yard and kitchen 200. Total cost of renovation=13700++ (currently still negotitating on the final electrical works that could potentially be a low 200 or additional 600)

Comparing your quote with my quote, your item 5-7 seems much expensive then what i was quoted for. i was quote about 110 for item 5, 90 for relocation of CAT 6 network point and 40 for installation of cooking hood point

Hi, i believe your renovator will bill you accordingly to what Town Council charges until some ID/contractor who will charge a premium amount. http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10324p.nsf/w/HomeRenoRemoval?OpenDocument
