You still have some time. The key now is to shop smartly... haha... For WC, sinks, bathroom accessories.. a trip 1 morning to Jalan Besar can solve it. The shops like Chuan Heng, Poh Joo and Royal Franco are all very near to each other. Shopping in these shops will give you a idea of costs and design you want. 1-2 week of your reno works are hacking and tiling first. You will only need the kitchen sink, hood and hob when carpentry are more or less done. Even if the people can't deliver it, you hold on to the catalgue cos they need the dimensions of the sink, hob to cut the 'holes' for the counter top. If you are using built in oven, get the specifications too so the carpentry can make the right size to fit the oven. for WC and toilet sinks....... after the tilng is done first. The toilets accessories are last last... ie when reno about to finish. Hopes this helps. My reno just completed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

growler 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 Maybe I'm more KS, I already got everything ready by the time they have completed cementing the walls. Didn't want any delay. Moreoever, I'm doing full concrete for the lower cabinets so they had to have all the measurements and to double check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
