Ok lah.. cos this one panoramic seaview and maybe already renovated sui sui . Mine is original original 33 yrs old design so need to renovate . Our location is nearer to Parkway Parade area.

Wah TYM .. Where's the $990k unit?

Hey thanks CJREDDEVIL. Going for quite major reno , everything goes except the marble flooring , quite retro looking so just polish . We'll be the 2nd owners so you can imagine why the reno quite major lah . Luckily for us , this place is undergoing upgrading at the same time so we saved quite abit on both toilets .

Hi everyone, I've been reading a lot in Renotalk and it has given me lots of inspiration and invaluable lessons and contacts . Finally, after searching and meeting numerous IDs and contractors , we've shortlisted two to work on our 33yrs old 5'I' . Basically as this is our first time being so involved in a major project , natuarally we're extra enthusisatic and took about 1.5 months to finally ink on the dotted lines of both contracts and paid deposits. Our 1st general contractor is Ronald and Seng and after meeting them and visiting one of the client's house , we felt comfortable as they're able to meet our reno dateline, fast response to our queries , meeting our budget and decent workmanship seen at their client's place ( she seemed happy and satisfied). Our 2nd contractor is a well- known kitchen specialist - Classic . Our meetings with Pauline our designer was enjoyable and she was patient to listen to our needs , even working overtime till 11pm in one of our meetings as we were fickle-minded about our designs . Actually, as our theme is a bit retro , a bit pop art , abit of mish mash , as my brother( this is his house) prefer the furnishings to reflect the owner's lifestyle , we want to keep reno to the minimum and spend more on furnishings. We've also decided we need a storeroom so to keep the place as clutter free as possible , thus our storeroom design still not finalized yet as we want a storeroom to look like a feature wall instead . Only hacking will start tomorrow and everything else will resume March 1st when I'll go crazy coordinating all the diff works - Flooring will be by Kronotex . Anyway , here's my floorplan http://img38.imagefra.me/img/img38/2/2/9/p...0hm_42c41a0.jpg

Thanks Tracy for your recommendation. Will keep in mind .

No , we're skipping the plastering part. My brother looking at Raw Retro so ok lah , do not need too smooth walls n $ can go to other parts too

Congrats Kohnlee , very nice place you've got . Btw, Thanks for your offer of recommending your ID but basically we have design in mind and will only need a contractor.

Thanks too Mr Anything, I think so too

Thanks Snowee and Tracy for your replies and contacts. As we've met more than 10 Ids and contractors , these are the 2 we've shortlisted based on reputation of workmanship in this forum and pricing as well. The 1st quote I posted earlier is from the famous Henry and this 2nd one I'm posting is from Ronald of Tiler Seng. As we will only be visiting one of the homes he (Ronald) did tomorrow, it wil be very much appreciated if any forumners who has engaged him before could comment on their experience . My neighbour and I will be engaging either contractor to renovate our place together so to get a better discount.

Hi Dannywmp, Can i have Wilson's number from Kronotex? So yr contractor is Henry ? Still deciding between Henry Id note or Tiler Seng for my reno.. Thanks

Hi fellow Renobros n sis , After lurking here for quite a while , we've finally gotten our keys to our 30+ years old 5'I' point block in Marine Parade . We need to start reno asap as we intend to move in by 31st March when our rental lease ends. Have gotten a number of quotes from famous contractors to IDs but we intend to keep reno costs low and spend more on furnishings. Have sort of narrowed down to this contractor becos of his fame . Not sure if I can reveal his firm here so i think I'll just not reveal 1st. Below is his second quote but I find his windows pricing quite high . Also Krono fit laminate is the same as Kronotex? Would really appreciate any help here as we will have to confirm by this week.
