tingkap 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Hi All,So sorry for not updating for sometime... Finally engaged an ID from Darwin Interiors. Defect check done and cement screeding request has been submitted at HDB Bukit Merah Branch.Currently works have been ongoing in my new house, last checked today... wiring has been done up and the L-boxes are up too.One problem, no sign of the cement screeding is going to be done. Anyone care to share how to push the HDB ppl to do the screeding? I called the HDB technical officer in charge (apparently a guy from china), he always replied,"One Month... many many work".... dun realli understand what he really means.Anyone care to share on how to get the HDB cement screeding done?Will post more pics soon.... Stay tuned... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stay tuned...hi,get the no. of the contractor from the TO. then call the contractor every alternate day. tell him that you need the cement screeding urgently. that's what my ID taught me and that's exactly what I did.

tingkap 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Went up to Jln Membina today, saw piles of sand and cement at my bedrooms. HDB is going to do the screeding already? Wow, thats quite fast. Thanks CrazyCar for the tip. Apparently, I got the contractor's number from the Tech Officer on yesterday morning and they are already doing it today... Wow thats fast.Do u guys clear the rubbish before the screeding is done? (Pamplets, pieces of paper on the floor) Will it affect anything...??

Hope the reno will turn out ok.if you are not superstitious, think is ok but i will not prefer mirror facing us in the MBR as i read and think is quite true that if you face mirror when you are sleeping, at times when you are awake in the middle of the nite, you might scare yourself..whether true or not, is up to individual la..but i still have to say that the layout looked very classicbtw, how you find Darwin Interior? fren recommended me but didnt have the chance to approach them yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tingkap 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 Hi babytan,I find the Darwin is not too bad. The ID that we are dealing with so far is quite good.Besides of giving us one of the best quote, his services are quite professional. SMS and call him sometimes after/before office hours, he also will entertain. Darwin has this 5 year warranty on worksmanship (excludes glass fixtures) which I find not bad oso. (But not sure how the after sales service is like).Well, with a small space, we can't do so much fancy stuff and on top of that, slashed a few things here and there due to budget. So far managed to keep within budget and more or less get what we want.During initial stage, Darwin was the first few who provide us with a full quote in less than a week. If you want I will PM you my ID contact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tingkap 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2008 Thanks Crazycar and Jasch for the compliments. I do hope it turns out well....Yup, its my wife who picks the laminates. We used the same laminate for both the bomb shelter and shoe cabinet. There is actually an error in the 3D, the shoe cabinet and the bomb shelter should be the same, i.e. the white strip is actually a mirror strip with white laminates at both ends.Btw, Jasch, are you from Jln Membina? I just realise also that the coffeeshop nearer to 26D is using the same laminates for their feature wall too... HAHAHAWill post more pics when the work progresses... Thankswah your 3d drawing very nice!btw we are using the same laminets that u are using for bomb shelter.. for ours we are using it for our shoe cabinet it turn out really nice!! tink you will like the final product too.. rem to post some pics to show us when its complete ya Good luck for your reno!!!
