Can Walls Of The New Hdb Flat Be Hacked?

[kelvinangsw 0]

Hi Folks,

From the floor plan, I know that the darkened walls of the HDB flats are the main pillars to support the building so these walls definitely cannot be hacked. However, I heard that for new BTO flat, even the normal walls cannot be hacked until a certain period. Am I right? If so, must I wait for how long before I can hack the wall?

no such restriction. But hacking of wall will need to apply permit, so they'll have final say.

Thanks for your reply. So if I want to hack the wall, must I seek HDB approval or through the contractor? Which move is more advisable?

Contractor can submit for you. Anyways, he will be doing the work.

contractor has to do it for u. coz he's the one who will seek approval and arrange the "hacker" aka manpower to hack the wall. Unless u are the contractor himself.
