I totally agree what you say also think it’s too much. My friends semi d is 2 times bigger than mine but no such setup, so I will definitely reduce the unit. In the meantime I will be trying my old mesh AX300 that covers up to 7,000 ft.². If the signal isn’t too bad I can just add on 3 more mesh lo? :/ I bought it in the past so that I can use it in this house as marketer 7,000 sqft. I’m waiting for the Starhub people to help me install and hope that will suffice! But as you rightly point out… the thick walls Maybe the hurdle

Hi members, I was told by my main con that I should not be covering such Lighting Plates on Floor / Wall with tiles. Is this true? I do know many owners who cover these up with tiles but it doesn't seem to be a recommended method by my main con

Thank you snoozee for your detailed explanation and useful tips. I've gotten a quotation from TP Link and the sales person is extremely helpful. These are the proposed models to get the strongest signal for my place, not sure if its too much L1 - ground floor (living, 1 bedroom) - 2pcs AP EAP650 L2 - mezzanine (study room) - 2 pc AP EAP650 L3 - 4 bedrooms - 1 pc AP EAP650, 2 pcs EAP615-Wall L4 - Attic - 2 bedrooms - 1 pc AP EAP650, 2 pcs EAP615-Wall Ports Description Model 10 Router ER7212PC 24 Switch SG2428P AP EAP615-Wall AP EAP650 For the "chunk of cables" in that area, I'm gonna build carpentry for the entire wall as I have more unsightly things to hide for that wall. Server racks are indeed good idea for me to consider for that section! My carpenter is very reliable so I hope that gives me a piece of mind Best Regards

Thank you so much for your wise inputs snoozee! The photo is my new house. The way it's left there it's telling me, I must do carpentry there to just hide everything. Thanks for also feeling my grief, I tell myself to just be happy that my rebuilding was completed eventually without the contractor going bankrupted. Wifi setup wasn't planned during my consultation but they allowed me to add lan points for cctv, and points for each zone, rooms. I also just found out that the lift also can be connected to a phone line. I did not plan for using AP as I've thought that using mesh networks would be sufficient (and really never thought I had the need). My Malaysian colleagues have big landed houses and they do not require such complicated setup at home. They were also shocked to see my cables and told me to build a server room (🙄) I will have to mount the data switch on the wall or have a small shelf/desk next to the bunch of cables to do the connections since I will be doing carpentry work. (My carpenter is very good so he will help me settle it once I get all my devices in) I bought a Panasonic phone system (kx-tg7731) with 6 phones to serve as intercom for each room but have not wired them up. What would be the brands of the AP or switch that you will be recommending as I'm not familiar with that. I choose TP Link as the nodes seems most reliable compared to the many brands that have failed me in the past. I think I do not have to hook up all 50 lan points too so I guess at 24 port switch should do the job now and I can expand it further next time too right? Best Regards

Hi all, Need some internet advice too! I'm in the midst of finalising my place too and I have this bunch of cables handle for my home internet setup. My internet provider will be StarHub ( 2000Mbps Fibre Broadband ) as I will relocate my current internet service over. My current condo setup with TP-link 3 deco nodes are no longer sufficient (x60 AX3000 wifi 6 mesh). My new space is similar to Hermes76. My house consist of 4 levels. L1 - ground floor (living, 1 bedroom) L2 - mezzanine (study room) L3 - 4 bedrooms L4 - Attic - 2 bedrooms I will be shifting to a landed and I see I have around 50 plus lan / phone lines cable to connect to. Can I know what kind of router can I use, prefer to use back TP-link if possible as it was good compared to other brands that I've tried.

the land size is 2000 sqft inter terrace, those figures are all indicative for rough planning. The height should be around hdb ceiling as we wanted to have more rooms for multi generation living. for double volume living room, ducted aircon was suggested but I personally don't know any landed home owners with ducting aircon. my friend who rebuilt his semi d installed a lot of split aircon units instead. I am more inclined to use all split unit aircons after snoozee point about the additional scaffolding cost. After reading up on google, seems like split aircon is easier and cheaper to maintain !

Thank you so much snoozee for the insights. I was looking through videos of double volume houses and notice most of them use the ceiling cassette. I was also wondering how to maintain the aircon!! how do these owners clean their aircon hur???? I will ask my builder to help calculate the floor area for each room to have an accurate calculation!

Hi all, wondering how do u decide what type of aircons to install and how many split units on each floor? In my previous place, I have tried to install 28k btu for system 1 but I don't find the higher btu has any difference Can't seem to find this information (or maybe landed owners leave this mostly to their architect) Do you go by 1 condenser per floor or? Appreciate if any masters can comment on it Level Ceiling Height Aircon type Estimated Total BTU BTU/hr Build sqft Cooling capacity (kW) Build m2 Level 1 Kitchen 2.65 metre Living Double Volume 5.7metres Dry Kitchen Living room 18k btu each?

Hi all, I'm planning for a total rebuild and new to landed homes. Are there any intercom recommendations and CCTV providers to recommend? The house will be will be four storey, prefer to have intercom on each level or using a stable company who has Mobile App solutions too.

what solar panels feeds electricity back to solar grid for the bill rebate?

Hi Kellhound I was quoted 53,000 for all plumbing works for an inter-terrace 2.5 storey, with water tank additional 25k . Is this reasonable?

Hi I am rebuilding my house too. Would you be able to share your quote with me please? Your rebuilding journey has been very helpful to me, thank you prodriver6!
