tulips 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) I have been reading renotalk for some time and finally it is my turn to post my own thread for my home. My floorplan This is a resale 5I unit at Yishun st 21, 24 yrs old flat. We will be doing a magor rehaul to the flat as the condition is considered quite bad . Have asked for quotation from a few contractor and have shortlisted Henry from Impress 21 and Yeak from Basic Image. We will be meeting Yeak this evening to discuss his quotation in detail, hoping to get some discount from him Edited August 25, 2009 by tulips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
