Hi Wenx,

I got the LED lights and remote controller through our own supplier at Sim Lim Tower, who is our company's supplier for electrical stuffs.

Thanks

Hi,

Was busy with work, hence by the time i see all the replies,it's a little bit too late.

Anyway,

Axe, hope you enjoy your renovation process and hope you have a wonderful house. What's most important is that you enjoy spending the money and it's worth it.

>>Emobebe,

I'm not expert. Just providing my knowledge based on what i experienced from my renovation. You may want to ask Jaskel.

>>Jaskel,

You sound like someone from this trade. Anyway, thanks for your comments. Some things are better off not said. Example, Tempered glass and normal glass difference in its shattering patterns. Non tempered glass will give bigger piece and tempered will give smaller shattered pieces. Of course fridge and washing machine have different size, but there are contractors out there quoting same price. Reason behind, the difference in area is usually not much. Hence some contractors quote same price for both item. What i'm giving to Axe is advise to reduce costs, if you don't like it, stay clear.

I'm not creating any trouble or quarrel here, as i think it's stupid, however i sincerely hope you can understand my intention. Help people save costs.

Lastly, I've seen before contractors removing toilet bowls in complete piece, of course there are shattered pieces. But if someone who is going to hack away everything, why is there additional costs??

Ohh ya, my number did come up in 4D. But too bad, never buy.....

Hi 4180, you seems very knowledgeable. Can I check with you what is average market price for rewiring 4rm flat electrical points and what are the things should be included and number of items for each? Btw, you did mention about granite top with 90 per foot run ...what about about solid top LG Hi-Mac? What should be the average price for this? Thanks!

Emobebe

Hi Emobebe,

Sorry for late reply. I'm not expert. Just finish my renovation. I'm not sure of the average price, but i search through the T-blog chat to get the average price from members who post their quote.

For my case, the contractor did not state how many electrical points is included in the package. When he arrange the electrician to do the markings with me, it was also not mention. Hence i put 2X double socket in almost every room and places that i think i would need it. End up i have a total of 41 electrical points.

Things that should be included in the quotation would be the nos. of lighting points, scv points, electrical points, tel points, water heater points, oven points, hoob points and type of switch provided and brand. I use Hager brand.

I have no cluses on solid top. Personally i feel that granite top lasts longer than solid top and looks nicer. Also, it's heavier, will not have hollow sound when you do chopping or manual grinding on the solid top itself. However, the con side would be that solid top will create watermarks if not maintained properly.

Hiope it helps.

Hi 4180,

Yes, i agreed that granite top look and feel much better except the watermark issue, i am choosing Indian Black Galaxy to minimize this problem. On top of it, Solid top will prompt to scratches, heard from contractor it could be polished but it will create a mass bcos of the fine dust. And also the price different is not really that great between Granite and Solid Top.

My house now is in a messed. Just completed the windows and piping, doing screeding for the whole house and hopefully next week will start ceiling work. Oh yes, electrical guy was here to remove all the cables and sockets. Next week should be able to do electrical rewiring for whole house and Aircon as well.

Getting quite tiring but at least can see the progress, hopefully reno can be completed by this month.

Happy weekends.

Hi,

mind to share the contact of your ID or contractor with me? You can PM me.

As i'm looking to renovate my house, but i need to overhaul my 5 room flat, which i have similar items to do as you, given the same flat size as well. So far, any problem from your contractor/ ID. How about the workmanship, good? thanks!

Hahah....it's 1 of the most tiring process in life....Having to see the daily works of the reno, and the urge to move in quickly, as well as the fear of the final product...

I guess by now you should have started purchasing your furniture...do update us with your pics...
