i think it's better to get a contractor/ID to do it all. Not just saving time and effort and coordination works, but also different works need to be tallied. Example, the plumber who does water pipes and the worker who does my concrete sink base are 2 different people and they need to talk to know where to leave gaps for the pipes, etc. get a few different quotations and compare. just my 2 cents.

I've been pretty much adjusted to my kitchen by now. While the counter top is quite small, I can manage as the only person cooking in the house is me. The Ariston hob, hood and oven is acceptable. Nothing fantastic but can serve you all the basic functions. Easy to clean and most important of all, there is even heating for the oven. I am very particular with oven that has uneven heating as the make my cake become slanted when it rises. So far this oven is quite okay What I really love most about my kitchen appliance is totally the cast iron pot and pan! It works like magic! Very good heating and it browns my food really nicely giving a very nice aroma to the food. I'm gonna share my first meal that I cook here. Chicken rice Winter beef stew Love this cast iron pan, can just leave if the oven for 3 hours and you get the most tender piece of meat

For Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) items such as ceiling fans, sanitary and lighting items, my advice is not to go to the retail shops that the ID recommends. The ID gets at least 20% commission from your purchase and the prices are cut-throat. My friend learnt the hard way when he spent $120K to fully renovate his 5-rm HDB resale flat.
