Do I Still Need To Pay Levy?

BTO = new flat right?

Then normal renovation counts:

1) tiling if not tile.

2) wardrobe

3) kitchen cabinet

4) lighting

5) windows grills

6) bathroom shower and accessories

and others if u wanted more things.

Noted, thanks chronograph.

I read that tiling is included in the recent BTO. But build-in wardrobe & kitchen cabinet will be on my priority list.

Too add onto chonograph's list,

7) Electric wiring

8) Plumbing to lay water pipes

9) Lightings

Electric wiring for whole house is not cheap, this costs 3K to 5K alone.

From the new BTO's specification, the electrical wiring are already laid, if I'm not wrong? It was pretty well provided by the HDB contractor.

U have pretty much everything(basic) installed.

Electrical wiring is laid, thats correct but should u want additional socket/power, lighting point etc, that's got to cost u.

From what i see, your main spending will be on carpentry work on kitchen cabinet, wardrobe, feature wall(optional, most of the time to use to conceal or for storage) ,window grills and painting.

There are many other things to do, that's only the wants if u have big $$.

Keep to your basic and u will save alot.

Agreed, chronograph.

Will have to install additional power points/lighting points around the house.

Built-in cabinets (kitchen) and wardrobe (master-bed room), extra windrow grills and painting will be my on to-do list.
