LLChing 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2012 Christine (Andrew's admin staff)re-submitted my permit a 3rd time for "1 not approved item" on May 8 and I got a call from my HDB officer today giving me the good news that it's now approved. I should be getting the confirmation letter in a couple of days.I'm sure yours is submitted earlier than mine. Any idea why yours take so long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, sometimes really don't know....i had similiar issue during my reno. two items was not approved, so i gave the HDB officer a direct call, and asked about the rejection reason. turned out that he misunderstood what the contractor wanted to do(hacking), so i gave him a verbal explanation on the exact works that are required, and he gladly approve immediately.

battle 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Oh ya, need to re-do my aircon trunking, anyone have good lobang to intro ?Current Aircon only 2 years old, so no point changing, will just need to redo the trunking (seems like owner change system w/o changing trunking, so trunking very very old liao).Also anyone knows the agar market rate for trunking work for system 3 ? 3 Bed room side by side. So very straight forward and generally I believe can use back existing trunking hole. Edited May 16, 2012 by battle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
