durianlane 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 your living room is so lonnnnggg!! wah sounds like your permit approval didn't take too long.. i also wanted to reroute my pipes like what Goobii did. however, my hdb technical officer says it is illegal. i even spoke to the plumber who did Goobii's pipes, he sounded so unwilling to do it for me, told me he merely followed Goobii's contractor's instructions so I should speak to Goobii's contractor instead. It was a massive headache trying to get those pipes out of the way. So your contractor will be doing it for you? According to my contractor, the permit was approved very quickly without any fuss. It took both of us by surprise. I will double confirm with him again when I meet him tomorrow night and update you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will double confirm with him again when I meet him tomorrow night and update you. ya if you read my blog, you'll know that i had to fight hdb for a month to have my permit approved. but that could be because i'm putting a tub in my bathroom. as far as i know, permit does not cover pipes. hdb doesn't expect their lessees to modify them, i suppose. i think you better check with your contractor to be sure. the hdb technical officer told me that hdb conducts random site checks after renovation is completed to ensure everything is done according to their guidelines. so i think its best to check with your contractor..
