doremi 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2007 hi doremi, we experienced this billing as well and we've already made the payment directly at town council. regardless of hacking or no hacking, it's payable cos every sand/cement/cardboard boxes/false ceiling...whatever that's thrown due to reno is under us. yes, i understand how u feel cos it sucks... spoken to town council and understood that some contractors pay for owners as they "pay out of good will" or "already factored the amount into the quotation". whereas those who did not, owners will have to self-pay. haulage fee is only for sand/cement/hardship of the uploading workers...totally different from removal of debris. but seriously, this amt is for the container town council provide and the refuse collection and disposal only..which i also feel it's kinda high..but calculating the number of mths my reno has taken..and dividing the amt by the number of days of reno..it's not a big sum lah.ms white,thks for your info..really sian loo~ btw, town council will only charge us once rite?? my reno is not completed yet so is kinda worried dat they will charge me again....haiz......T.Tdroplet,thks for sharing...wonder whether you will receive the invoice later or like ms white said, your ID/contractor has factored into your quotation....neighbours,for those dat hv not rec'd this invoice or just sourcing for ID/contractors, tink it's better to ensure dat wat is stated in your quotation include this cost loo. must really ask them very clearly else you may feel cheated like me..... btw, my ID is ***** so those hv not started your reno or thinking of shortlisting them, must really ensure dat this is not a hidden cost to u...wat happened to me, hope it won't happen to u....

zeester 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2007 Thanks for all the encouragements and positive tots of moving in later..... haiz.... prob its a good thing afterall....... just to check, anyone using 'gip-son board' (dunno how to spell la...) as feature wall??? any comments on that?? I think its cheaper cos Linewerkz recommend that to me and the price he quoted was lower than Unimax.... and its super cheap lor (21k compared to 26k)...... think most prob i will take up the package with Unimax cos we are more comfortable with Alvin... he seems more flexible and more responsible..... whereas Peter (Linewerkz) tend to be more strict and inflexible.... he even said that if the flooring bumps up / uneven, he wont do anything cos its the type of flooring (homogenous) we choose.... not his fault..... me and husband was like 'huh, then our fault??' very stingy la.... not helpful one......About the floor hor, the ID should correct the tiles if they are uneven. For my renovation, my ID was very straightforward, he said "Any tile that is uneven, I will hack it off and redo it." Plain and simple. And he held up to his promise. So I think it's quite bullsh*t if an ID says it's not his fault if the floor is uneven. So don't choose an ID if he says that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
