Clueless About Reno

[charemme 0]

Hi All,

As im clueless about reno stuffs, I've decided to post my floorplan here and seek some sound advise.

Welcome all ideas/tips and advise from all seniors here.

My reno will on start only from end 2009, and I know im alittle KS.. but isnt it always good to be prepared in advance?

This is my floor plan. Its actually a Jumbo corridor Unit of about 23 years.

(1st lovenest )

At the moment, im still trying to figure the placement of my furnitures.

We are intending do some reno as the house is in quite a shabby condition but we do have a budget constraints.

Another reason, we should be selling the house in the future, so didnt want to spend so much on reno.

Renovation To do List:

Overlay laminate on all bedrooms and hall

complete overhaul for two toilets and kitchen

Tv console (living room)

WIW

Feature wall for WIW (cover-up)

Change new door grills

re-wiring (whole unit)

installl windows grills (corridor rooms and halls)

Optional (depends on cost):

change windows (whole unit)

hmm, that is all i can think of at the moment.

Congrats on your BIG house, who needs landed & condos these days, with your space and the correct planning I'm sure it will be your haven of sanctuary eventually.

I'm not so pro in RENO stuff but if you have any intention to incorporate any wooden kind of flooring to your design, maybe i can be of some help to you...

Good Luck in Planning.

Thanks!! whoah.. so nice to hear that from you..

If possible, get a breakdown on the quotation.

With a breakdown, you can do more customization (take out things that are expensive, etc). I always insist my ID/contractors to do that.

But I think $27K for 5rm quite good leh, mine a lot more 40K+

[charemme 0]

I didnt ask for a breakdown, as most of the items are within the $25,888 package for 5rm.

and already omitted alot of items to replace the major one i need.

Additional add-ons, she will indicated the price.

Aiyo, if I have budget of 40K.. I also want to do my house nicely

But i gather not worth to spend so much as we probably be selling the house in another 3 years.

I oso think can squeeze do so many things for 27K, already quite power eh...

So have you confirm your ID??

[Guest poetsdesign]

Yeah..

It will be nice palace, your house very big

Why you don't make it become 2 floor?

[charemme 0]

2 floor? meaning what?

[Floorrich 0]

2 floor? meaning what?

think its refering to 2 levels ba, correct me if i'm wrong....

or you can construct a platform???
