And this house which is pretty rare does come with one as well (the entire block doesn't have balcony) so have to sort of squeeze one out from the thin air.yes, u seriously need a permit to hack any walls from HDB. And it would be the best to get ur contractor to apply early so the day u get ur keys will also be the day to hack.. wouldn't waste time waiting. Yup, BTO walls can be hack to. As long as you have a permit for it. But if you look closely at your floorplan, you would realise that certain walls are in solid black colors. those walls you can't hack as its part of the building foundation.As long as the wall which you wanted to hack is not shaded in solid black on your floorplan, the chances of it getting approved is like 99%. So don't worry too much.. go apply first.. reject then re-plan.And in any case, if kena reject (only if its a wall which is suitable for hacking) , yes u can try re applying.hope the info helps ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R they laminate or wood grain tiles?had pm u the reno cost.i am using HERF Flooring from Evorich.Wanted a seamless feel throughout the entire house and take advantage of the span from the living to kitchen. hence i have chosen HERF laminates from Evorich which is water resistance when compare to typical laminate or solid wood floorings.

clouds00007 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2013 oh, saw some photos of the renders our contractor provided for us. and i suddenly realised how much risk we took with them as we never actually saw the correct renders to what we actually wanted.Though they said its their outsource designer's fault but to me, i only see who i am paying to.So here are the few "version" which they changed and changed but always something is wrong some where, even till the end.

clouds00007 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2013 since this home was pretty much "custom made", i thought it would be good if i were to commission my own lights. So i made my bathroom light myself, all four of them.it as simple as getting some candle lamp from ikea and the light cord, drill some holes, filed it out and pop in the light cord holder and voila.
