yc_mw 1 Report post Posted August 13, 2014 Just did the valuation yesterday and got the reno people to look ard and take measurements. Seems like we will have problems hacking the walls (even if it's non-solid black lines) as the walls seems to be prefab. Anybody has any experience with prefab walls?

Songz 132 Report post Posted August 13, 2014 Prefab walls to my knowledge are not allowed to hack.You will need PE to certified before you proceed if I am not wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To my knowledge that usually PE certified, HDB will agree to it You can also request through HDB i think but may take longer time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
