mae29 2 Report post Posted March 19, 2011 My fire-rated solid wood with veneer main door (double leaf door) is $1,300, side door (single leaf like yours) is $900. As I didn't take the lever lock, they give a discount of $50. I would suggest you take those items out & anytime you want them back, you can consider as Variation Orders.

marshmallow 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2011 bro, IMM got this shop at the 3rd floor warehouse area that is a direct supplier doors (opposite of Woei-Lee where i got my retractable clothes hanger). their catalogue same as the one my contractor showed me according to Woei-Lee's boss, many contractors got their doors from them. you can drop by to take a look if you happen to be around IMM btw, from feedback by some forumers - SBH has more selection but less designer-type tiles. Hafary selection might be slightly smaller but more nicer tiles. for your info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wondering if our fire insurance will cover our losses if we did not use fire rated main door ? *touch wood* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May you have a smooth renovation too! cheers! issit necessary to engage a FSM to audit the house b4 reno? Hey joyousonline! I'm expecting it to be at least 8 weeks, and no more than 10 weeks. I'm not too sure, but so far, most of the IDs/contractors said that major works like mine, would take ard 8 weeks... anything less than 8 weeks is quite tight... not too sure where are the bottlenecks, but i think some areas (maybe waterproofing, tiling, plastering, painting) may need time to "settle" after the works are done, before moving on to the next phase... and also, according to my contractor, he will provide me with the draft perspective for my kitchen cabinets and MBR wardrobes... but actual measurements will need to be retake, after the tiling and stuff are done, as there are some box-up to be done, some hacking of kitchen entrance, etc... for FS, actually... depends on whether you believe in FS or not... my wife doesn't really believe; I would like to know more, but take it with a pinch of salt... so I did seek some FS advice from one of the forummers (mae29), and if possible, and not too major/drastic changes, I tried to accomodate lor... BUT, what i've failed to do, is to consult on a suitable date to start renovation. My mum was like asking me, since I'm already seeking FS advice, why not get an auspicious date to start renovation? but i think it will be hard to convince my wife to "delay" the renovation... oh well...
