    Ya loh.. really must thank my ID loh.. in fact he only took 3 weeks. But of course we didnt change the living room and 3 bed rooms flooring.

    But 3 weeks is really tight for the hacking of 2 toilets tiles and up cabinets, do 3 rooms cupboards + TV console + up the aircon (previous owners no aircon). So I would say it's still a big project for him to complete in 3 weeks loh.

    Heng heng really can find him.

    Hi, seems you got a very good ID. with that much work and finished within 3 weeks. thats great.

    We just got an EM seems v similar to yours. Can you share some experience with me:

    1) the downstairs wash area can not put in toilet am I right? Initially I thought must have a WC downstairs but now pretty much give up on that. All IDs I consulted said not sure since current pipes are boxed up

    2) Can message me your ID contact? We got a few quotation but either too expensive or seems not organised. Met a new one today. seems pretty good. Hope the price would be good too!

    3) Your place look really nice after the reno! We dont plan to do much renovation so just touch up mostly. Wonder how much yours reno cost? If you dont mind? perfectly ok if you prefer not to disclose... We are not sure of re-doing the bathroom since currently ok condition....

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, now wonder if you used Ikea kitchen in the end? I am considering them too so would love to hear some feedback. From my talking with them so far, the downside is the "Modular" approach, since theirs all come in standard size. Eg. I hope the top cabinet can go all the way to ceiling but not possible with Ikea. So they have standard height top cabinet and box up the part above. Another more annoying thing is their cabinet legs. I dont understand why they can not build onto my current concert plinth, but have to have legs. And then have some ply wood board clip onto the legs for front view. I can not imagine take those small boards at the base on and off every time when mopping the kitchen floor! :o Is that really how anyone use ikea kitchen would be happy to do? :rolleyes:

    Thanks for any sharing!

    Just to add on. The price quoted by Ikea is about the same as from contractor. It is a bit surprising since with contractor, everything is customized. I saw some complain about contractor used by Ikea here, which is disappointing, but Ikea does correct after complain. While with those contractors, generally small firms, where do you complain to when their work is not up to standard?

    Still thinking...

    From their 2010 and 2011, I see that IKEA has a whole range of complete kitchen design options. Went down to their Alexandra store to take a look - saw that some were solid wood whiles others are compressed wood.

    Anyone had experience with IKEA kitchen - ie installed a kitchen design from IKEA. Saw other post on specific kitchen items but not a full one. Wish to know whether if it was durable, whether one shld include them before or after the kitchen has been built.

    My current kitchen is customed built (by a Malaysian contractor) - about 9 year old and already lamination is coming apart. Otherwise the workmanship was good - I inspected the works as it was being built so knew what they did "behind".

    Thank you.
