Hi RawR Here's the contact to the uncle contractor: Tan Boon Sang Construction 101 Kitchener road #01-02 Jalan Besar Plaza S'208511 Tel: 62968670 (Mr Tan) Yes he's very flexi and is good at copying designs. Has been in this line for his whole life and won awards so his workmanship is no doubt good. He's in the midst of shifting his office to a smaller unit this week so do call him for appointment. I'm awaiting his quote since he has been busy with his shifting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zeegi 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2008 Hi zeeqi Thanks for the uncle contact. So sorry I've been so late as replying as I was in US for a month =^-^= Hi RawR, Mr Tan Boon Sang has shifted to an office upstairs: 101 Kitchener Road, #02-43 jalan Besar Plaza. You might want to be mentally prepared that he has a run-down looking office but rest assured his workmanship is fantastic. He has been reputed to do renovations for our ministers and non of his house renovations have air-con water leakage problem- some of the air-con pipings run under the tiles and in these days nobody dare to do this anymore. I'm currently awaiting a revised quote from him after selecting my tiles. His quotation is not the typical ID quote whereby they base on <$3.50. Mr Tan quotes you exactly what you choose hence you may want him to bring you to the tile shop for a more accurate quote. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeegi 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 I'm finally back! Been busy during the past few months getting excited with my second appointment, meeting IDs and making a difficult decision on whom to choose base on our budget. Well we have selected our ID and reno works have begun with the hacking of the house. In the mean time, here's the before pictures: Master Bedroom: Guest room: Common toilet: Balcony: MBR toilet: kitchen entrance and protecting my property agent =) : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
