xfer 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2015 Hi guys. Anyone tried appealing for HDB to do cement screed for their new BTO flat? I heard HDB stopped providing it last year Oct, but could not find any articles online about this. The only article found googling from CNA doesn't seem to work.I was told by my ID that the cost of cement screed is quoted at between 3k to 5k which adds up significantly to the renovation cost.We got the BTO in April 2011, and the completion of our flat was done latest by Nov 2014. Surely the announcement in Oct 2014 shouldn't have affected flat owners in scenario like this? HDB must have spoken to the contractors to stop cement screeding way before their announcement since its hard to believe that the whole BTO project's screeding would have taken less than a month to complete since the announcement (this is even to assume that the project is completed in Novemeber. Most of the works could have already been done before October). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dylanchua 4 Report post Posted January 29, 2015 Ya lo, true on HDB side.However, the implementation that all house renovation cement screed should be using the prepacked screed has been pushed back to June. So why is your ID charging you 3k to 5k for the cement screed when your renovation has started? There is no need for him to purchase the prepacked cement screed what..

xfer 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 I see. I was told that 3k-5k is due to the material and labour cost for doing it. They mentioned its better to do it before June, if not the fees would be much bigger than 3k-5k. Am I being misled?If I were to get the cement screed done for my house, how much is it that you guys are paying now?Anyway, no one successfully appealed for HDB to do it? Still an additional cost which should not have happened retrospectively in this case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasminelin 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2015 My ID told me the same thing which is to do before 1 June 2015 and then they will not charge me the cement screed.Do you want to check again with your ID?Also my estimated completion could be from May to July and the estimated cost for screeding was only 3k for 4 room bto.If it is 5k, it is very expensive.

bsxk 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2015 Hi,I haven't got my keys which probably is around Aug - Sept 2015 so this new screed with affect us. Recently got a quote for flooring for living room + 3 bed rooms with homogeneous tiles and it cost $8+K. We asked if we could appeal HDB to do the screeding but was told by contractor that they prefer to do the screeding themselves due to several issues especially when we are using tiles.Pls advise if this cost is reasonable.
