Question: My initial intention was to maintain all wiring and put back after hacking , and those walls removed i could extend the wire and relay back.I told this to my ID . instead of helping me save cost he throw me $4.5k electrical cost which i rejected. The person who came down to survey was some malaysian guy talking hokkien dialect. i am not sure if he is a qualified person to do all this work. I believe for electrical job we need a proper LEW/EMA certified person to do the job professionally. i read somewhere if you renovate your whole house, HDB have a record and in case of fire there will be question on the electrical work and its submission for SP. Ive since found a LEW electrician with a good quote and manage to negotiate to ask for some upgrades. This LEW electrician name i've seen in google when i did my background research about his work. For this i would not mind recommending but please wait 1-2 weeks as i need to see his job.

HACKING first few days

My "ID" request me to remove all the window grille before hacking as it might damage the grille and he need to do the plastering. My question was am i suppose to remove this myself ? Pardon with me as you will have to listen to this kind of post all over this t-blog. I bought Bosch cordless screw driver kit and dismantle all the grille in few hours. It was **** dusty .

Fell in love with this piece guess how much is psf for this japanese moss tiles.

Electrical cable. estimated how many years ago was that?

After comparing all quotes we decided to drop the carpentry and electrical work , more work might drop if the quality of the work is unsatisfactory . Managed to get direct factory quote for carpentry and electrical. Quote later. Aircon from TIM our famous man here.

Had a date with a 3d Planner software . Result without high level rendering: Balcony /Living : Living cabinet: Kitchen: New Dining : Master Toilet

Below is the quote . Please don't PM me asking for his contact . I will never recommend him yet at this stage , Ill let you know if things change in future.

Spoke to 10 reno contractors and ID each. You name it i might have spoke to them. Initial plan was to outsource parts by parts on my own as i had time to manage things in between my works till one ID came to offer irresistible offer. My golden advice is "never go for cheap ". Follow closely the horror i'm going through now. This particular ID is highly recommended here, even has his own support club . His theme " Im a ID but give you contractor price even cheaper " You can find anything cheaper outside ill chop my head. Which remind me tom i need to bring chopper and place next to the tiles.
