I need help on this as well. Heard that it is not legal to conceal the wiring in the old generation HDB flat. But feel that alot has done it. Anyone who has done this before can share with us your experience?

Concealing using false ceiling is allowed right?

Plaster-board the wall on which the power, data, phone etc points are to be located, if you don't mind sacrificing about 50 mm. Especially if the wall is to be re-plastered anyway.

Not difficult to dismantle a plaster-boarded wall.

Of course, false ceiling to concealing the running as well.

Cheers!

wah... this one is very messy and extremely dusty...

tools needed.... hacker / tile cutting something that looks like a small circular saw / stopping / W1 / pvc conduit and accessories

MOST IMPORTANT: A **** GOOD VACUMN CLEANER

I did it for my own house... but because i renovated myself... not that I am in renovation but i do networking cabling and basic electrical installation.

My house took me 6 months to complete... all consealed wiring... i dun care because i will not be selling my house anytime soon....

What is it that you need? If you are a DIYer, then you would know the above are the basic tools and items needed.

so please weigh if it's really worth it.... for sure your other half will HATE it...

Look for Reiki's T-blog. Google search is easier than the search function here. Plaster boards, carpentry and false ceilings for the legal way.

the legal way:

to wrap plaster boards within any hdb needs hdb's appoval...

carpentry and false ceiling not an issue....
