MLR 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 eh.... from my understanding, the HDB will get their appointed contractors to go up and check before handing over the keys to u... not very very sure oso leh... heehee... btw, wat u mean by "not much was done"? u mean the interior of the house?? if u mean interior, then it will b those tat u have mentioned, and, windows (check the locking mechanism and whether the panels can open/ close fully) and most important; the tiles!! but if u r planning to change all the tiles that r already there one, then u can dont bother le la... hahaha... oh yah, and check all keys... try to open all doors with all keys... (all tis will take come time one... haha... happy testing bah!! ) tis will include the key to the riser outside ur house, at the side one... (cos i got problem opening it ) and the less prominent one; the letter box key! (rem to check oso) some common probs r: 1) the tiles (hollow / crack) 2) keys that cant open doors (might b given the wrong key) 3) toilet basin feels "loose" when gently pressed (screws not tightened properly... REPORT!! unless u r changingit... then can dont bother oso...) so far these r the things that is more common.... unless u saw there is water dripping or water stain from ceiling or walls... these can suggest that there might b a leak from ur neighbour from above... like wat happen to our friend here.... i might have left out somethings or wrong info... forumers, pls correct mi if i m wrong!! Ahockz, jus a couple more dat i encountered are: HS door jammed up, cracked toilet windows, different tones of color tiles in kitchen and the latest is leaks in the kitchen down pipes (the fat big ones) thiink Nex meant me . Bring a roll of those paper masking tape and marker when u go opening ceremony. No, its not for the ceremony , its to mark the defects . Don't mark directly on the tiles/walls/doors,etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MLR is referring to tat cos if get those plastic type of masking tape... how to write?? haha.... HS door = Household Shelter Door.... actually i regretted not doing my toilets both walls and floor tiles.... cos really not very nice.... pink colour ones!! so u can imagine.... i went to my sis hse at BP one, hers one very nice lor... gray one lor... so nice ... hai... but nontheless, u can see for urself when u get ur keys, and u will know wat i mean... anyway, tat time i engage my ID, oso got buget constrain... so i didnt really think in depth lor.... so think carefully when u r renovating... and one thing to rem, after u move in, u wont want to change anymore things le... especially when it comes to hacking stuffs.... so consider carefully whether u really dont wan to change certain things like tiles...
