LPG

some contractor followed me up, took a look at the place and said the condition was very bad and alot of things needs to change. i was shortly quoted "roughly" 30K for practically Every Thing. The only thing that does not need to change is the toilet windows / room windows & grille / living room window / grille sigh... thats how bad the condition is.

you can write in and appeal and take over his/her share of the hdb unit.

I wonder what it actually means to present home buyers like me who Has already booked 1st appointment. Loan already signed, already exercised my OTP with 5k downpayment

cabinets and tables from Ikea ? no offence to those who have bought them but they Don't last at all. most of the colours doesn't go with the theme I want, materials used are cheap and they give this crackling sound in the night. I had bad experience with a cabinet from Ikea which keeps giving this "click" or "knock"-ing sound. **** creepy

went down today to take some pictures. my gawd, really run-down place. toilet main pipes all rusty and leaking, you can imagine the stinch ... floor was horrid, OLD and discoloured laminated flooring, room floorin was even done at all. kitchen pipes with PVC also leaking. my gawd.... ALL the walls have big patches of paint peeling off. kitchen walls and existing tiles are either discoloured or painted over with GREEN. really terrible. brought a contractor down just to let him see and have a feel of the place and was already quoted 30K for a complete reno.

thanks for another GREAT input. House needs to plaster up, so painting can be done together We already have tons of kitchen stuff ... all from previous years and most recently Tangs sale (pots/pans/fork/spoons) Curtains / Blinds - already have those too from previous home, so don't need to buy Engaging an ID would save me the whole trouble (and TIME), but like every one suggests, to save money get a contractor and we'll be able to save tons. I guess I got to do my own design and show contractor etc Things I need to (for my on record purpose) Find contractor (or seperate contracto/S) to . Do laminated flooring ---- Parquet flooring too expensive ! . Plaster up and Paint entire house . Kitchen floor tiles (no wall tiles) . Hack toilet into ONE toilet with glass in-between (not sure if HDB will approve or not) . Room to have cabinets as well, childrens room to have study table Gonna do some concept drawings and post it up Hope some contractor will find this thread and PM me

LOL... what i meant was we spend alot of time in kitchen... COOKING. and not IN the cabinet

Can someone pm his contact too ? Tight budget so need this contact to discuss and book them

unfortunately, went to a 3 id today and all quoted above 25k as a ball park figure. a little over our budget but design wise they were good.

thanks for the replies, if 4/5rm is above 25K, then 3rm looks like its going to be below 20K for laminated floors, is there suppose to be a layer so that contractor can paste the laminates over? my upcoming 3rm has no tiles whatsoever

Any possibility for a 3rm complete overhaul @ 20k ? The house is very run down, no floor tiles, or wall tiles of any kind in kitchen, all the walls have not been done up at all, there's no kitchen cabinet or proper sink. Contractors will love this place as there is very minimal hacking to be done so I assume I can save a little on the hacking part. Flooring - I am considering laminated floor Ceiling - a simple white ceiling with bright down lights Kitchen - to have kitchen cabinets etc to run from one end to the other, covering one side Rooms - the usual cabinets for mgr and children room I wish I have pictures to show how run down it is, I might call up agent to pop by and snap pictures and post it all up
