Kindly note that my ID only does the carpentry works, vinyl flooring, hacking of kitchen wall, painting, plumbering works and general cleaning.

The rest below is outsourced by me:

- Cement screed by HDB (last batch to be eligible for free cement screed but we top up $950 to match the kitchen tiles height)

- Electrical works

- Aircon 

- Bedroom barn doors

- Toilet doors

- Blinds

- Window grilles

- DIY painting for bedroom door frames + bomb shelter

All in all after added those outsourced by me... the whole reno cost about $31k.

It depends on your application date actually. You can actually check on HDB website what is the cutoff date.

My 2nd batch Taobao orders came today.... quite shag as DIY assemble most of the furniture with my wife help.

TIP:  Do not order wardrobe from Taobao... my wardrobe door was damaged when they crate the packaging... the door full of nail holes, in the end I had to go "open concept" for this wardrobe. Luckily it's for guestroom only. Also, I hired a mover (2 person) to do the assembly... took them 3.5 hours but still cannot finish fixing and I had to touch up. Paid them $210 for this assembly job.

Managed to DIY assemble the following furnitures:

- Queen bed for guestroom

- Sofa bed for piano/study room

- Dresser for master bedroom

Tomorrow will resume to assemble the following furnitures:

- TV console for living room

- Study table for piano/study room

Study table.

Vanity cabinet set for common toilet

Rack for washing machine / dryer

Other buys (including the queen bed and wardrobe) :

Will take photos of the individual items later on when we move in.

Forget to add this Taobao tip for shipping...

If you are expecting huge shipment (more then 2CBM, it will be advisable to prepaid to the forwarder via Alipay as the exchange rate for SGD (if you choose to pay in SGD) is not favorable... I incur $30+ more for my second batch shipment.

Forget to post this best buy from Taobao! This dresser quality good and have soft closing!
