skyblue 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2009 Here's my floor plan: .... I like it because it's a point block so got privacy, and the rooms are all rectangular in shape so its easier to plan in both fengshui and practical sense. Wah, your floor plan looks big, and it is definitely easy for planning. I didn't know that there is point block for 4-room flat, now I know. Haha... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not that big, only 85sqm, so we need to make use of the place well. Yup I think there are not many point blocks previously, but think HDB is starting to build more nowadays. Anyway I heard that my block and the adjacent block was built as point blocks because they were originally for the en-bloc people staying at Whampoa's old point blocks, but in the end the deal did not go through so put back in the market.

Hi there future neighbour! I am at Blk 19, how about you? Do you need to reno the whole hse or juz touch up only? I will be trying to get quotes from some contractors. Won't be getting an ID cos not doing the whole place but juz the toilets & kitchen floor so don't think necessary to pay the extra for design as we have some designs in mind ourselves. So hopefully the contractor can put our plans into reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be looking for contractor as well.... So do keep me posted if u've got good deals.... then perhaps can get better discount if we happen to use the same ....

My future nest is in Sengkang. I will be getting my keys in July. So far we only went to IMM and "steal" ideas from those IDs. Ideas "stolen" are only layout. No one will draw the 3D for us to see wiithout having us to commit. But read that IDs are so expensive. Contractors will be within our budget as we're revamping the whole house too.
