Hi, After years of reading and admiring all the T-blogs, it is finally our turn to contribute. Received our keys in Jan and since it was nearing CNY, we decided to only commit after all the new year celebrations. Due to our tight budget, we were only looking at contractors and we had a theme in mind, thus we some sort knew what we wanted. Met with 3 contractors and here is our honest opinion on all. H*o : we requested a quote from the famous Mr. K but I think he was too busy with projects, we were attended to by his project executive lady K. Quote is on par with ID rates, very patient, listens to your wants and needs. during our first meeting at K's office, she listened to what we want and during that meeting she didn't really note down on what we wanted but when we received the revised quote, we have all the items listed, am really impressed with that. However, due to her young age we feel (might be wrong) that she is inexperienced. Whatever questions we asked her, she told us that it's up to us and if we like it. S*v*n St*ges : was invited to view a neighbor's flat, D quoted us for our place. Sad to say, no connection, had his own ideas and only cared on design aspect. Quote wise, most expensive amongst all with the least carpentry. J: after reading "lovescandi" T-blog, we or I shamelessly admit that I love love her place. If you have not seen, please read her blog. She so kindly gave me J's contact. During our meeting with J, we felt the he is very professional, sincere and honest. Tells you directly what can be done and what cannot. He gave lots of suggestions and advices. Us being first time home buyers and novice to home renovation, we need someone who is experienced and knows what he is doing. We chose J out of the three as he and E made us feel very comfortable during our meetings. Also, we felt a sense of assurance, sincerity and flexibility. We will be commencing reno soon, finger crossing all will go well..

Hi Suikoden, Yup, the general package they offer downlights, false ceiling works, TV feature wall,TV console also. I replaced the TV feature wall and TV console to a stucco wall. It's a cheaper version of the brick wall.. Hehe.. I bought my own TV console off Taobao too so that's why no need my ID to build me a TV console. The roadshow I went to was their open house of one of their completed projects.. They usually get permission from their clients to use their renovated houses as showflat to future customers. You can check out their Facebook page https://www.face-book.com/absolook and check out their next showflat..

2-3k for aluminum vs 5-6k for mild steel Yes the divisions. our ID suggested the design. We collected reference photos of what we like as well to communicate the vision. For us, the design of the bottom line match the 90cm height dry wall. 2nd part also 90cm. Then the remainder at the top. The width of each section are equal divisions across whole width. We also worked with the aluminium guy through our contractor to discuss the intended design.

Hello! Have been lurking around for the past 2-3 years and finally, my flat is here. Okay, the Mister and I like cats (& dogs) AND we are also on a super tight budget that's why I've named our house the "Meow Residence" cause we're neow ("cheapskate" in hokkien) - Mister is so going to kill me if he knows what I named our house. Ha! Anyway, here is also where the sun rises as this is the location where we can be found and our home gets very good, strong morning sunlight everyday from 7am to 12noon. Let's cut straight to the point, this is how small our flat is (THE FLOOR PLAN):-

Not sure if this is the case with yours but when I bought my fans, both the shop and installer told me fan warranty applies only if I use their supplied regulator.
