happybride 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) hello happybride,Yes we hacked all our tiles and relay them. Very happy we have this opportunity as we found so many defects in the new place, hence requested HDB to hack and relay tiles of our choice I like the green border in the kitchen.... they are glass tiles with round popping out pattern. Where is your new place? what are ur plans?i've just gotta the keys to my reslae flat at 299A compassvale.. now headache over the designs and interior designers.. dead.. at the same time still need to prepare for our customary wedding next mid year.. there'a still a lot of terms i need to find out with regards to renovation. can't seems to know wat are terms such as ABS trimming or cement screeding.. sorry i'm too blur.. oh yaa,,, love ur kitchen tiles to bits too.. wish i can have that Edited November 3, 2007 by happybride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
audreymarilyn 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2007 as long as they give you a good final product with no additional costs can already. doesn't matter how many steps they took to make things right. just make sure your ID dun start to charge u more for this and that.even if they have to rectify and rehack the tiles 10x before handing over to you, just as long as you get completed reno that is to your standard, is good enough..heheIf We are not in rush to move into the new place, then its ok even if they made lots of mistake and at the end of it all, rectify them. Today was worse, my Id stupidly shifted blame on the Hdb contractors, which it is impossible when its clearly the Id's fault. Sigh.And the worse part is .... the part they hack, if they dont lay the tiles back on time, my hdb contractor cannot proceed. now, they are all waiting for my id to troubleshoot, rectify and then lay back the tiles so they can complete the kitchen floor tiles.... this is the last part liao. my id keep delaying and today one after another guy which they sent to my place, all useless leh. first guy came up, never hack deep enuff and left. the 2nd guy came 7 hours later n then say since the 1st guy din hack deep enuf, he cant troubleshoot. so now wait for the 1st guy to come but then id say too late liao... wait til monday and see how again...very poor coordination!i am still waiting for my revised 3D max drawing (kitchen). Its been 2 weeks and they are taking their own sweet time to revise it. All these while, if i never call to ask for the 3d max, my id never bother to send it to me. Started from a month ago when the 1st drawing came out. i've just gotta the keys to my reslae flat at 299A compassvale.. now headache over the designs and interior designers.. dead.. at the same time still need to prepare for our customary wedding next mid year.. there'a still a lot of terms i need to find out with regards to renovation. can't seems to know wat are terms such as ABS trimming or cement screeding.. sorry i'm too blur.. !! oh yaa,,, love ur kitchen tiles to bits too.. wish i can have thatIs it an EA too? How much did u pay for it? Well, the green border for kitchen is not costly at all. there are many nicer ones too..... take ur time. narrowed down any id liao?

These delays can be avoided if things are done in the right manner and order. Cant be asking a plumber to do up my L-box n electric works and be asking a tiler to do my window grilles right.

audreymarilyn 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2007 hey audrey, it's been a long time since you updatedhow's the progress so far?hope you've found alternative lodging liao Hi applefreak... i am very very busy. i have shifted into my new place and doing renovation at the same time. my id is giving me headache daily. his contractors r really terrible! they have no time sense, appt between 1 to 4, they arrive at 7. it is not only on 1 occasion. Many times like tat already. worse of all, ask them call 1 hr b4 coming, they cant seem to do tat? contractors do things slipshod! leave things done halfway, put their barang barang (which can fill 1/2 of my balcony) which they promise to remove it the very next day at 9am, but guess what, always nobody turn up to remove. we have to call id who always dont answer call n dont return miss call. in the end, they clear their barang barang 2 days later after we threaten to throw them at the corridor! Worse of all is.... their contractors always fly kite! promise to come but never turn up! id never bother to call us. we have to call him n ask wat time contractor coming and in the end, his reply would be, oh its raining so they cannot come. when i request for them to come the next day, he would say, oh their timing already fixed for the next few days so can reschedule sometime later only. wat is this man?Result------ now, i am staying here and reno is half done! sigh. i am going to put up pictures now... n tell me what should i do? the contractors who did the laminate platform scratched the winnie the pooh wall covering !
