I have gone through with 4 ID / Contractors and have finally signed with the one who gives a better design ideas and is well known in this forum. I will start my reno only after Chinese New Year because it is holiday season!!! everybody is going to cross the border Here is the original Floorplan bought from HDB at $5 so that I can print a few for discussion with ID. Scale 1:100 is accurate after printing. I use ruler to plan out some reno ideas. Seller has hack away the wall between Study Room and MBR and the sliding door was transformed into a solid wall, so the MBR is super big now. Location: See my topic title Type: 5I Resale Size: 121 Sqm Evaluation Price: $438K COV: $30K Items for reno will be finalise after site measurement on 21 Jan 11. 3D Drawings and floorplan will only be ready after CNY. Waiting anxiously for it I will update here once I receive it. Here are some photos of existing areas that I want to revamp it. As Seller has done renovation 5 years ago and well maintain so I saved alot of reno from it.
