hello88 2 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 I told that officer already...he sounded a little pai seh and says i will get the approval by this week. but my tiling for kitchen and toilets will go on lah....just that the hall side will have to wait for a while. usually permit for knocking down walls & sometimes installation of windows would take at least a week or even 2 depending on the efficiency of the hdb staff. Normal permit about 3 days to approve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope HDB gives u an answer soon... thanks wor...condo penthouse...hopefully my next house I can upgrade usually permit for knocking down walls & sometimes installation of windows would take at least a week or even 2 depending on the efficiency of the hdb staff. Normal permit about 3 days to approve. Normal permits all stuck outside my house...now only waiting for this... oh dear sorry to hear that. HDB is so slow. btw, uncle giving u FOC blum right? is it tandembox? or what are u getting? Uncle didn't offer me tandem box. If he does, I'll feel so pampered! It's just the tracks that he offered me lah... Oh ya I forgot to add also... what happy says is right. hacking of walls usually take 1 week ++ for the permit to approve. so meaning I will get it by this week. Nice tiling works. Very efficient I'm praying hard that the same group of tilers will do my place ..... will have to check with Uncle later .... hopefully he gives you good tilers. I am a novice in this, my QC inspector is actually my Dad...if he says the tiles CMI, will get uncle to change! He spoke to uncle when uncle came to discuss the reno. Uncle even told me, "wah, your dad very good leh, he knows the stuff well!" needless to say, he used to be one of the HDB contractors during the boom days in the 80s so uncle can't play play ya....

familyof4 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 aubrey, I do not think he will do a bad job lah...he also mentioned he really have high expectations cos we are giving him (free) publicity if he does a good job...so must have high standards...he told his workers not to make him "漏气".

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 haha it's ok la. So exciting. I had two 4 different tilers whom I think are quite good. Two were 20+, one fat one thin, both malaysian i think. And one about late 30s and one about 40s. the two older ones were very slim and petite... mm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
