Thanks snoozee. The attached from BCA was what got us edgy. Your tip is very helpful!

Hi all, just bought an old 2-storey interterrace which I'll be starting A&a in a few months. In the process on selecting an ID or Builder for the work and encountered contrasting advice from the few that I've met. The compound has a large yard which I'm hoping to extend the level 1 maid/store room into a large multifunction room. Due to cost reasons and that this is an old unit, I've no intention of making a double storey extension. The 2 ID companies I approached said it is possible and mentioned PE cost and submission to BCA etc. The 2 builders I met up to discussed both advised that for first level extension, submissions is usually not done. I know BCA had some guidance on light weight roof lean to extension vs concrete extensions. As much as not making submission saves cost, I'm wondering if this will risk issues with BCA that bears penalties to the home owner or issues should I sell the unit in future since the blueprint will not show this extension. Any thoughts or am I simply over thinking 😅

Hi AnneY, Hope this message finds you well. I chanced upon your blog on renotalk. I read that the builder that you have engaged is a good one. I am currently at the stage of deciding which one (builder vs ID vs architect) to go for, and would like to get from you the contact of the builder and architect that you have used. It would be great if you could share their contacts with me. Best regards.

Bidded for a house recently. Very close to asking price. Seller seems interested but agent told us to be patient as seller needs to think. Any similar experience? How long did you wait? Did you do a lot of follow up in between?

Hello Ernieliew75, can you PM me the contact for master Wang please? Thanks!
