nemofc 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 $30k for reno alone is consider alot.. haha, unless u have in mind alot of carpentary, design features. Reno costs alone does not include alot of things..

Somemore cut off alot of things liao.. so much? we looking at $10-15k only. we will buy those that we need first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redbottle 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) No lah - no secretive la for some topics, better not to mention exactly the name / item else others will get offended. Just want to be sure on that...she showed me the 4 and 5-rm units... in the 4-rm unit, she mentioned that the electrical points given are not conveniently located... gotta do a lot of re-wiring work...also may not be possible to do sliding door for the kitchen entrance because there are electrical and SVC points on one side of the wall and the electric circuit breaker box on the other side, so the door can't slide into either side of the wall.. she mentioned may have to do bifold door, which is even more ex than sliding door...

redbottle 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 Pole system wardrobe is possible... gotta give a minimum 1.1m of space from the wallsome ideas for a WIW here >> http://www.ikea.com.sg/better_sleep/2007/i...room_cat_07.pdfi went to the Alumix showroom last weekend... v nice WIW ... price range is about $100 pfr, depending on the configurations (shelves, cabinets, suspended drawers, drawers on castors, clothes hangers) but excluding doors... got 8 or 9 colors to choose from... price is inclusive of delivery, installation and 1-year warranty on mechanism... no drilling into walls and ceilings required...7-ft tempered glass sliding doors cos about $800 and tempered glass bifold doors about $1300...their more expensive brand is Ximula, which is Alumix spelt backwards ... Ximula typically about twice the price of Alumix cos Ximula has nicer profiles/shapes, better quality finishings and anti-slam drawers...the cheaper alternative is IKEA... say for a similar 7-ft WIW configuration, if Alumix costs $700, then IKEA will cost abt $400 + $100 for delivery and installation... also, IKEA's WIW requires drilling into the ceiling and has no warranty...
