We have decided on the design we wanted...propose to the ID...He design in on the floor plan..Below is the proposed design...but there are some changes....

Proposed Design:

The design will not have the following:

No vanity area in MBR..

No top hung cabinet in both bedrooms..

The entrance foyer tiles will be shifted to the access area (Access area bought alredi)

No false ceiling at entrance foyer too..

We guess that's all for now..

how much do you think your reno will cost you? your reno work looks very extensive. am checking around costs now coz my quotation (3-room corridor same as yours) now works out to $19000 - very high considering mine is very very basic and am not even doing my floor, or kitchen walls etc!

Mine is a complete overhaul...cos the previous owner did not maintain the flat...very bad condition.....so far most contractors have quoted me above $35k...which is very expensive...even after cutting down some things...But we got ourself a good deal with our current ID...Bravo to him...Hope all the reno will go smoothly in Feb....

Hmm...u r not doing ur flooring is alreadi costing $19k...very ex...Maybe cos of your carpentary work? I find alot of quotes are ex due to tiles & carpentary work.
