xlan 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2007 I did all homogenous for our house, have to top up around $1600, but from the forum, like most pple do laminates instead of homogenous for bedrooms..wa.. top up 1.6k.. is it common? still hv to consider the sand price is expensive... so doing laminates def much cheaper.. n moreover.. laminates not as "cold" as tiles ma.. so some ppl dun like the cold cold feeling in the morning when u get down frm bed.. to me.. tis can b easily solve by a $2 slippers frm Daiso.. tiles r def more practical n maintenance free in the long run.. but now me too budget.. if gotta top up so much for tiles.. really a bit tough on me.. hv to really press my calculator hard... but i'm still considering to change to tiles too.. see how..

binzz 10 Report post Posted September 12, 2007 Hi BINZZSo you top up $1600 means $40k???No, we reviewed the quotation, yesterday finally settled with $33k quotation and we signed to secure the current expo package without having to pay for the 7% GST also, saved around $2k, plus the last expo package we secured when we paid for the drawings, total we saved about $4k.. Our package includes :Standard package for HDB new flats (those standard items, painting etc.)The additionals are here..- TV feature wall with laminates- Mirror with backing at dining- Built in bench c/w drawers at dining area- Shoe rack with settee and glass display- Household shelter feature wall- Suspended study table and top hung wall unit bookshelf- Bay bed c\w drawer- Shelving at bay bed- Glass sliding door at kitchen- Low height cabinet- Glass shower screen at MBR bathroom- Wall paper for MBRNot the cheapest quote though, but like xlan mentioned, its the communication and trust with my ID that made us signed up.. And we really like get quite a good deal.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like cold tiles, i prefer cold to hot.. Then maybe also because abit scared off by those termites stories, so right from the beginning I already fixed on getting homogenous tiles instead of laminates (me lah!), though my hubby prefer laminates.. hehehe.. But after some negotiation and threatening , my hubby agree to go homogenous.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If take away, probably less another $4k.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
