makemefly 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2007 (edited) fly, saw that you engaged Li seng. could u let me know if li seng have t&C? cos' i m shortlisting ID now.No T&C that is special. Payment 5% downpayment, 45% upon start of works and delivered materials, 40% upon progressive payment in accordance to works done, 10% upon 2 weeks of completion and handover..So far so good with this guy. Not too pushy. Allows you room for your style. Does not try to push me to do this and that so that the price becomes higher. Gives many practical ideas and respects my no-frills renovation (as I want to create simple Thai/ Indon feel)by the way i saw you also shortlisted tong hong. My personal feel is not very good for them, as they gave us very bad 1st impression. My hubby who worked in condo contractor firm (as in builds the condo from scratch tog with the interior reno) said that the quality is very bad. Tiles not aligned properly for the tong hong show flat tt we went to see.hi fly. which level are you in? i'm in the same blk & should be finishing my reno soon. it's difficult to find a blk 27b neighbour. so far only 3 of us here (including bee joy).I'm on the lower floors... hehe... shy to say exactly which floor lah..

makemefly 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2007 It's very messy now, tiling only half done... i expect the kitchen door will be one of the last things they make for us.orhh, mind invitng to take a look at your unit?beside li sheng, which ID did you source?li sheng is a contractor & not iD?I'm not sure if he's a contractor or ID. He does not seem very beng-ish, but on the other hand he seems like a hands-on person.. and he can shout when needs be.Other contractors I met I din like the quality..tiles badly done, chipped and so on.

motorman 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2007 Hi all, just moved in to Jalan Membina. I must say "THIS PLACE IS GREAT!" So near to town like Orchard Rd at your backyard. But hor a few complaints about the building and decor. First, the water pressure is very weak leh (I'm staying on high floor). And during this time of the year, the weather is very cold and when the water is weak, it feels so cold having showers. Second, the toilets got awful colors. Beige and grey toilet bowls and wash basin. The tiles look horrible too (like `lao sai' color). So rough and the grouting so wide and deep. All dirt gets stuck inside and hard to come off. Don't know why HDB still chooses colors like that. Should have stuck to more neutral colors like WHITE. I always believe that things should look clean when it's clean. Actually, don't want to renovate the toilets one. So did not include in the reno. But after moving in hor, cannot tahun anymore. Made a big fuss until my hubby had to get the contractors to redo the toilets to shut me up. Ha ha ha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
