Advise For My Design And Task List

[fteocs 0]

Hi,

I am new to this forum. Just bought a resale 3 rm corner in AMK Ave 10. Will be having 1st appt at HDB 2nd Aug, transaction and keys should be by 1st half Sept.

Am sourcing for ID at the moment. I have some ideas of my own and I had drew them out using visio, to scale.

need some advise and input on:

1. Design, what do you guys think

2. Layout ok?

3. List of task, comprehensive enough?

4. What do you think the cost might be? Based on your experience

In return for those who are into HiFi and/or Home theatre I can share the speaker placement formula to give you an idea and head start in placing your speakers, of course for those who are audiophiles you would know that speaker placement is only one of the many aspects and need trial and error as different speakers, systems and room acoustic are different, however it will give you a good starting point. If you are using those out of the box mini home theatre then you would not need to go thru the trouble, i guess, no offence.

Many Thanks

Just got a initial quote from Exxxx Intxxxxx (there is a separate thread for this ID company). The quote is based on the version 1of my design with a few things lesser than the latest design I had posted.

The total is $41400. Not too far off my personal estimate, within about 3k range.

I guess with the added things will easily another 3k additional.

I had signed up for a custom bedding and closet (pole type) with sliding door for about $6k. with Co'xx xxxx they have a show room in Furniture mall NOT with Exxxx Intxxxxx; which includes 6ft closet with very good material I must say for the poles and sliding door very solid frames, custom made bed, with ordeopedic mattress (queen), shelvings and study table. Its ex but great flexibility in design and closet material is very good compared to cheaper ones, the aluminium is easily 2mm thicker, very solid.

Many thanks to a few members that PM me with their comments and suggestions.

I would like to receive more comments and suggestions

Cheers

Hmm over 100+ people view but only a few commented. Wonder Why?

Anyway, visited a few ID shops and found that many in fact all uses LamiTak.

never know these days laminates can be so nice and the edge finishes are pretty neat. Behind time liao.

Downloaded the LamiTak catalog, very nice laminates, 1 ID told me all same price...that's a nice piece of news for me.

you can get to LamiTak site http://www.tak.com.sg/ and view the catalog at your now leisure as part of your research and design thought process.

Cheers

Hi Thanks, I take that as a compliment.

Nope..I am not in ID line I am in IT for 14 years or so.

A detail person, work habit perhaps and actually it is pretty easy to drawing to scale plans like those that i had with visio...i found out after spending a few hours playing with it...hmm not only for flowcharts, etc

anyway just some of my personal ideas, i like to know in detail what i am spending on and like design work,,software of course so itchy fingers for my upcoming house reno.

Cheers
