Hack Old And Replace New Kitchen Cabinet

[blursotong 0]

This is for an old flat (you know, those with rubbish chute in kitchen type..hahaha....) with people still living in it everyday.

Need to re-do the whole flat but don't have the luxury time of new unoccupied flats like most of you. Haiz...

For the kitchen hor, is it possible to zoom in on the kitchen cabinet for now?

Hood, Hob, sink another phase? Flooring don't have time-window.

For the actual onsite work (I am guessing, hacking of old cabinets and fixing new cabinets...anything else), how much time does the contractor need?

This kind of 'small' (?) projects, those recommended contractors that I see in the other posts, would they entertain?

For flooring and wall, maybe u can try doing spray paint or sediment flooring which take 2-3 days or even less than that. As for kitchen cabinet, it really depend on the planning of the contractor. He/She can plan like this, go on-site to take measurement first, do up the cabinets in their factory already fix a date when they can install it. Then the contractor should arrange the hacking to come a day earlier to hack and disposal of the old cabinets.(another 2-5 days works or lesser)

Maybe becos of the profit margin is not that much, they will prefer to send more time taking in other projects than to do this small project. But still there maybe some will take in such small project. Don't worry, the forum here got a lot of great helps in finding the rite person for your reno.

It really subjective, depend on the workers they used (their workmanship and experience, most importantly their work attitude) We can't rush them, if not they anyhow do or cut corner or make mistakes, this will take u more time, more headache, more heart pain.

Hi folks,

Sorry for all the stupid questions hor

As mentioned everything in the house r like 30+ years.

There are water pipes running behind the existing cabinets. Would there b a need to change them someday?

Worried cos if now change the cabinets, then later if need to change the pipes how ah?

Additionally, read some forummers mention about ready made cabinets. Are those 'not fixed' to the wall type and movable?

maybe you want to contact my carpenter Mr Kok to discuss on your time frame?? he also do general works and coordination..a no time job got a not time way of working.you can consider talks to a few of the carpenters and contractors in the forum and see what is their advise..generally a kitchen cabinet can be done up in 3 days if they really rushup (of course no comprise on the workmanship), my carpenter is rushing some projects when he done mine, he is a carpenter for some well know design house, so he also got dead line to meet, i saw the workmanship and rest assure mine..
