Hey ckoonyin,

4 mi, i prefer 2 use knuckles 2 knock, its eazier 2 differentiate e sound. But e knuckles may get hurt after too many knocking.

s u'v said, ur flat was built at least 3-4 yrs ago. If base on dat figure, i gues e Jurong West area hdb flats might have been built during e economy recession time & construction line was slowing down.

Mass production b4 yr 2003, building too many hdb flats (dats y got surplus flats), resulting in poor workmanship & quality of e finishes.

i gues dats e reason y got so many defects.

Jus my 2 cents views.

I tried to use the knuckles method........but hor........5 mins later very painful leh heehee

So i reverted to use the rod method.

And i do agree you with regards to the quality and workmanship......sigh......but i dun care............BSC better shape up.............or i think we may need to "nudge" the right people

Ya... dunno why got this feeling....

The quality standard for HDB flats is getting worst.... but of course... to be fair to them... hehe... they cannot be 100% perfect one lor....

Well............cannot be 100% nvm.......it is ok.......but cannot say this cannot, that dunno.......i think cannot........and push away right?

Hey ckoonyin,

pardon i kpo.

- becos of e angled in e wall alighment & space layout, i gues dats e best furniture layout proposal.

- Its quite standard, simple & straight 4ward 2 start layin e tiles frm e main entrance door all e way 2 e bedrooms.

- S e tiles r laid continuously frm e main door, once u walk 2 ur bedroom passageway, u may feel kinda disorientated due 2 e change of angle of e bedrooms wall.

- e best way i can think of is 2 separate e living/dining & bedroom passageway in2 two tiling area/zone.

- introduce another type of flooring (eg. pebble wash) along e dining area wall, (between dining & bedroom passageway).

- can even introduce some features or display along e dining area wall or divider perpendicular 2 e dining area wall.

- it wont cost u addition $$$ for dis flooring but e features wil cost $$$.

- another option is 2 lay e laminated flooring frm bedrooms & terminate at e dining area.

OH, i kinda mix-up liao. Think ur unit oleady cums with floor finishes. If dats e case, 4get abt my suggestions.

Jus my 2 cents worth of views & suggestions.

Everything in order . So fast .

I just got my first quote .

Quite expensive IMO.

Now looking for second quote

Without the electrical work already cost 18K .

HDB should at least check the hollow tiles and OBVIOUS holes in the doors / wall etc

Now I really regret taking premium flat .

I am expecting the same issue when I open the door next month.

Post more photos. So that I can visually imagine my place since we are neighbours

[spinball 0]

Hmm... premium flat also got good thing lah... at least you don't have to spend $$$ on doing the tiles wor.... which will cost even more... For my case... hehe.. heng heng.... no hollow tiles in living and dining area...

Hmm... we will be doing alot of carpentry works wor... hehe.. so far... yet to get any quotes from my gf's dad... hope he can give me a good price.... if not... guess that if get someone else to do.... it will cost us about $20K..

make them put the completion date down in B&W

then if they exceed the deadline, claim your S&CC from them

can be done though i didn't want coz don't want to spoil the relationship

[spinball 0]

Hey applefreak, can claim our S&CC if they exceeded the deadline?

not claim from hdb, but from their contractor

if you can show that rectification is delayed unnecessarily

e.g. my case where the contractor took 2 weeks to hack the tiles, another week to order tiles, then another month to lay the tiles

this is considered uncessary delay loh

but seeing that he really did a good job for me and even checked for hollow tile before handing the unit over

i let it go loh
