Dilemma in choosing between HDB licensed and non HDB licensed
superk888 replied to mooseolly's topic in Renovation Packages
theres always reason why they are not awarded the licenses... -
Dont get tempted by the cheapest quote, especially not detailed quote. ID, contractors that doesnt state the dimensions are usually trying to play punk or cut corners. Many owners also love to go to non HDB registered firms and no GST company. it really speak alot about the company that open many sub firms to invade GST. when they close non GST firms, your reno n warranty all gone even their main branch is still around. those firms that really are no GST means either they are very very new in the market or business no good. cant be 1 year cannot hit 1mil for reno.. fishy. So owners, pls beware, dont because of 7% gst or cheap reno and get lured into pirate ships..

hmm that piece of darker tiles or yellowish tiles is kinda an eyesore, maybe can ask tiler to remove it and choose another almost same shade of tiles, since there should have balance of tiles left.

Renovation permit still pending after 1 month! Why?
superk888 replied to mewmew80's topic in RENOVATION WORKS
your ID seems not too experienced in alteration of works. kitchen area, cannot have opening, can hack but need to build back wall, meaning MBR become bigger, eating into your kitchen hacked area. Bathroom can hack, subjected to approval though, max can extend not more than 60cm -
most likely thinner or turpentine or some chemical aicd that spilled over and left it for days. the natural stone absorb the chemical and have reaction and caused the stain

no pelmet, they leave 6" gap then construct false ceiling with cove light

usually owners will try to start before the 7th month begins and then just carry on the reno works during that month. If it doesnt permits, some owners believe just dont start work on the 1st, 15th, 30th of that month.. not sure of reason. mostly are more superstitious in shifting / moving in during 7th month though.

Procedure for meeting with IDs / Contractors
superk888 replied to cookingbaker's topic in Renovation Packages
usually first meet up will be getting to know each other and ideas sharing and understanding your needs and requirements. the 2nd meet up will be fine tune some designs, items and so as well as presenting estimated quote and going thru w owners. For me, 2nd-3rd meet up i'll do up a visual sketch of the house to let owners able to visualise. -
