HDB 3/4 height window change

[Dhany 0]

Hi,

did anybody change your HDB 3/4 height window before? need some advise here..

HDB officer was saying need PE to endorse structural calculations to BCA for approval first.. then submit BCA approval to HDB for handling.. true?

Contractor was saying HDB does not allow changing of 3/4 height or full height window.. true?

Anyone had experience on this?

Thanks...

Thanks Ando!

Did you do before? What is the chance of being turned down by BCA?

 

Thanks again! :D

I also encountered the same issue. Contractor advised not to change as it would cost 1.5k to 2k for the PE and BCA approval or something like that.

I did not proceed as the PE told me there are still plenty of restrictions (e.g. colour) and it really doesn’t worth the effort.
