Huh? Heard a ID shared that they don't take such arrangement as tiles comes with various quality, it may look nice but the quality may not be good. Therefore will affect the laying of tiles workmanship. Thus, will only take tiles from his list of shops that he bring us to..

You heard about this before?

Hi Ossify,

Is this your first time doing or have some experience before?

You sound savvy.

Even before your get the house key, already make up your mind what to do exactly .. even with exact items, brand n model.. Wow!

Just wonder is electric wiring, air con need to run and be in place first before flooring, then carpentry then the plastering and painting?

Me newbie here... wonder how should the process like..

Lots of things to learn here.. : )

Hi doremon,

Yes this is my first time doing.

I have been doing a lot of research on the things available and deciding the ones I like, before asking my spouse for her opinion on my choices.

You definitely need electric wiring up before you do your air con. Otherwise you can't test your aircon

Plastering should be done after your old aircon (if any) is taken down, before your new aircon is up, before painting. You need to plaster smooth, then the paint will be easier to put on.

Flooring (if laminate) and carpentry should be done last (order depends on whether you build-in or not and want your floor below your carpentry)

Basically, do the dirty ones first, clean things do last. Otherwise your clean things will be dirtied

Just completed my tile selection.... Woo... Very hard for my wife to make decision on the color and pattern to choose.... went to soon bee huat and lian seng hin. See too much until do know how to choose... Learn from it....

Steps of selecting tile.

- Make sure u went to look at the tile one month in advance...

- After see most of the tile and showroom.. u will have some ideas.

- make few trip if possible. Get sample back home and feel it u like the tiles.

Lian seng hin offer me 10% discount and Soon bee huat 0% if i buy directly from them. Go through my contractor... and they offer me around 15% discount. Some contractor is able to get 20% discount. U can buy tiles from different supplier. I will be getting from lian seng hin and soon bee huat. Personally, Lian seng hin customer services is much better than Soon bee huat.

Basically i spend about 6K of tiles for kitchen, 2 bathrooms, living room balcony, dining room.

For the cabinet will be asking direct carpenter to do it. Introduce by friend. PSF is about $170 (Top and bottom).

Another got ideas how to cover the dustbin and still easy to discard waste. If build the width 60 cm, difficult to open it. So now currently thinking of building a width of 45 cm(Just beside the sink) and dont cover it.

Here is the almost complete design for my cabinet.

Almost complete. Now painting the house myself. Still deciding what color to paint for my living and dining room.

After painting will be my cabinet, where i ask my friend to do it.

So far the services for As Seng and the partner Ronald is very responsive. Has not complete yet. Will give more feedback on their service once everything has been done.
