Quite impressed with the amount of work done and only cost ~55K? Can you PM me all your contractors' contact as well as where you get your tiles from? Thanks in advance. Btw, do you know if your air-con contractor do trucking re-routing for existing air-con? I just got a place and the air-cons still look good, but the compressor unit is installed a bit higher such that the windows can only be the sliding type. Wondering if the contractor can reposition it lower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mentioned that those floor plan with "Bold" line cannot be hacked, I casually asked one of the ID, she said can be hacked just that it is harder to hack, is that right? I was quite enjoy while reading your post from the start till latest, may I know the practical and realistic timeframe to complete a renovation for jumbo flat? (assuming is the same reno scope as your flat) Sine you are the designer for your flat, did you do a 3d drawing for your contractors reference? Otherwise, how to visualise whether the "outcome" turn out well ? Look forward to your advices ... Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks.hi friend,the contacts are available in the groupbuy of renotalk but for your convenience, i provide here Aron 92321641as for the bold lines... u have to check with HDB coz i was told by the HDB officer handling my case that the bold line cannot b hacked as they are structural pillars or beams so therefore i did not touch those bold lines or else i would have hack alot of walls... "practical and realistic timeframe" - i m not so sure about this... it all depends on ur negotiation with ur ID or contractor... i gave my contractors a good one plus month coz i told them i wan good n quality workmanship and NOT rushed jobs... also it all depends on the how 'big' is your reno project... if u wanna hack everything, u cannot expect a two weeks deadline... although i "design" my house but i m no designer n did not know how to do a 3D design... i just draw on a piece of paper, very ugly 3D picture of what i wanted... also i am there to supervise almost everyday either during lunch or i "eat snake" to go see see look look... very important is I make sure the contractor tells me the dates for plumping so i m there to ensure the "water outlets" (taps? shower points?) are where i wanted them to be... i m also there when the aircon guys did the installation so i can instruct them how to run the piping, where to run the piping and the positions of the aircon... i was also there when Sebastian and his guys (electrician) did the wiring so in the event, they are unsure of the positions, i m there to advise... i was also there when the L-box guys did the installation, so i am at site should they need instructions...frankly, i wan total (ok la not that total) control of the positions of the items coz I m the user, NOT the contractor/ID... i know best where or how the positions of items might or might not affect my style of living...hope all these heip... u can PM me anytime or post here if u need more info...
