HowardArnie 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2012 what about leveling it up with concrete? that should work..In practice, surely can. But HDB worry about the weight of the concrete. So in theory, cannot.So never mind, submit this twin power ===> lightweight material + fire safety material lor... but even that, they not responding.

sarah833 3 Report post Posted January 16, 2013 did your contractor apply for HDB permit to level the baclcony to almost the same height as the living room using cement screed ? I made this suggestion ro my law-abiding contractor who is in this trade for over 20 years and she said HDB will not approve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kooky 2 Report post Posted February 27, 2013 We wanted to level-up the balcony/service yard but contractor informed us that due to the recent revised in HDB rules, it will not be approved. Hence, we have no choice but to leave it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
