ilmare612 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 Hi ilmare612, My reno cost approx less then 30k with my ID. IF include electrical, lights, WIW will be about 36k ah. wow that's very steep for a flat that size leh. Probably because it's Unimax as well lah. Big brand mah. Anw, the foyer light is amazing. Very futuristic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dracula 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2008 Those kitchen lights blew me away, really! Nice! Although I've got to ask, bright enough for your kitchen with all those patterns on it? I was also afraid if it was bright enough in the beginning, and it was brighter then expected. It is using 2D 55W lights, so it is much brighter ah. wow that's very steep for a flat that size leh. Probably because it's Unimax as well lah. Big brand mah. Anw, the foyer light is amazing. Very futuristic. Actually it is not because it is Unimax, but because wat we wanted was abit not of the standard designs. Their quote was considered one of the cheaper ones when compared to Ho Bee, Fuse, GPlan, Ban Chuan and other smaller firms we approached. Tats why we decided to engage them as to me the coordinator is more important then big names. After all, they are not the ones renovating ur place but the outsourced contractors.

Actually, my fiance and I did had a quote from Unimax. Unfortunately, the ID lady did not strike any chemistry with us. She's a little auntish and kept recommending us to get ceiling fans even thou we did specify that we do not want ceiling fans...like 5 times liao. She also kept pushing some kitchen work to us which is very massive when we already told her we hardly cook. Sigh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any comments about boxing-up the sewage pipe in the toilets? I am very particular about things that stick out like a sore thumb. I have heard some people who discourage this as they said it will not last or not permitted by HDB actually. Would love to hear some ideas and feedback. How else to conceal those ugly pipings??

I have heard some people who discourage this as they said it will not last or not permitted by HDB actually. Would love to hear some ideas and feedback. How else to conceal those ugly pipings?? Which sewage pipe u referring to? the one on top or the one to the floor? Because your toilet has the most water and moisture, boxing up would be abit subjective. I would not box up if given a choice, neither will I have false ceiling. I have seen false ceiling in toilets having brown spots because of the rust being formed by the screws which hold the ceiling boards together. Ultimately its still your decision Slowly slowly look see look see, slowly slowy buy, no hurry. Hehe... yeah loh. Will wait awhile more and see ah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try to dry the toilet as soon as you are done with it. Our existing units in TPY all have box up in the toilets to conceal the top piping too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your TPY one is provided by HDB too right? Or did you fix it yourself? If so, how much you paid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If i am not wrong it should range from 250-400 depending on the size of the toilet and box up. Better to get a more accurate quote from your ID or contractor.
