misswookie 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2010 Ya resume liao they should do all the grilles and my roof 1st b4 starting on the carpentry Hi coffee_o! First post on renotalk, new EM owner here - looking for information and inspiration for my reno I have a question that I hope I can find some help with. I see that you are going to do / have done polycarbonate roofing over your balcony. I'm interested in doing this too, but over the access area of my corner unit instead. I made some enquiries and was told that HDB will not approve polycarbonate roofing, so I didn't bother to ask HDB and gave up on that thought - until I found renotalk! Now I have hope again! I was wondering if your ID did a submission on the polycarbonate roofing for you, or is HDB approval not necessary? If submission was done, did the ID have to give some kind of reasoning to "persuade" HDB to allow this? I'm just hoping my info was wrong and HDB does routinely approve this kind of construction. Thanks in advance for your help!! And of course anyone else who has advice for me, please jump in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi misswookie welcome anyway I'm sorry to disappoint you that nowadays HDB do not approve of polycarbonate roofing anymore and only approve the normal clay kind. Check with numerous contractor and ppl installing the roof and all gave me the same answer. Like you, I'm extremely disappointed too but there's an old saying "You can do anything, just don't get caught" LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afterall, I'm the one who's living upstairs, not some crazy person who'll set the roof on fire or throw an anvil out of the window. But like you said, not getting caught is key! Thanks again!!
