Hi my builder is suggesting as part of major reno to get a roofing guy to check the integrity of my 20y tile roof KIV change the tiles/battens. He says changing to metal roof will cost more because it involves changing the timber rafters & replace with new steel structure/purlin & metal sheet, plus need to check on the existing structure to design the steel support for the roof. Is this true? He generally knows his stuff but I wanted to check w u experts, as professor Google says metal roofs are generally lighter than clay roofs.

Thanks. some more questions: A&A = $3210 + how much QP fees + other fees, just to clear it legally? I am just wondering if it is worth it. I can skip all these fees and do a lean to extension under 20sqm, but ideally I would like to do a 27sqm extension but wondering if the added cost is worth it. Lodgement application - URA also says approval can come in the form of a lodgement application. Is that the same as plan lodgement, and what is the difference between this and A+A? As on URA website it is much cheaper at $749. thanks.

Hi I know there is a thread on ID vs builder vs architect but I still have some questions so I’m posting a new theread. just got a 70s inter terrace for which I would like the following done - extend first floor built up by about 25 sqm, shift toilet fitting position, major internal reno I contacted my previous ID who did a very very good job with my condo reno but he is a one man outfit. would actually like to continue with him as he provides very good service and follow up. And he offers good suggestions to reduce costs. However not sure if this is too much for him to handle (given there is extension). Should I be engaging a builder instead? Thanks.

Hi couldn’t seem to find any topics on this so decided to ask. the old terrace I bought has two level 2 toilets in the middle of of the house. They share a 4 inch SWVP which runs vertically down to level 1 right in the middle of the living and dining room. can I check, is it possible to run this pipe around the walls so it’s not so obtrusive? Or do main SWVPs need to be vertical without horizontal parts?

Hi I just bought an inter terrace with an inspection chamber in the backyard. I see that many of my neighbours have extended the built up area such that the IC is now indoors. I am thinking of doing the same. Can I ask - is it acceptable for the IC to be indoors, as long as it is still accessible for maintenance? - does sewage gas leak from the IC? thanks.
