BunBun 5 Report post Posted October 31, 2008 For laminate flooring, I can answer that.It depends on which brand of laminate flooring, the grade you're getting.For eg, AC3 is the cheaper grade while AC4 & 5 are slightly more ex as it is meant for high traffic volume if you want to have laminate for the whole house except wet areas. Also, what is the starting price psf for the laminate brand & grade you are getting as the price will vary with different brands. After that, you got to factor in your total floor area just for the laminate flooring x the cost psf. Also have to include in the GST too. Hope this helps.

BunBun 5 Report post Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Sort of, it gives the home a cosy feeling but alot of care and maintenence has to go into it 'cos laminated flooring cannot come into contact with water or else spoil very fast. Considering that the weather is very unpredictable also, we have to ensure all windows are closed before leaving for work everyday. Laminate flooring won't spoil due to kids' mischief lol. Just have to be more viligant though. And yes, Ho Bee does provide good service, in fact minimal supervision required cos patrick will definitely make sure its done properly before handover. wah ur house must be look very cozy hor... me last time also want but dont dare cause hv lil pink monster ahwuahwuawu my daughter Edited November 1, 2008 by BunBun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its only a gimmick to get you sign up with them. ehhh of course lar but gimmick or no gimmick, the overall quote from IDEAL is slightly more attractive than HoBee cos of the air-cons but my main worry is still the hidden costs. ehh, if HoBee also can throw in air-con ah, i'll sign up with them now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
