Hi everyone, Planning to reconstruct my intermediate 2.5 storey terrace and would like to use laminated flooring for all bedrooms. Do you guys think is a good idea?Some told me it will looks cheap and parquet will be a better choice. But I prefer the white coloring on laminated which parquet do not provide n the former should be cheaper in cost right? Another question, since the house is going to be reconstruct from scratch, will the floor has to be tile first before laying the laminated or the builder just has to cement it prior putting up the laminated.... Pls advise...

Hi LeeChaoRui, Thanks for your detailed reply. May I ask what in your opinion, is the minimum budget for a recon of a 2.5 storey plus a basement intermediate terrace, taking into account that the ground level is already lower to accomodate for the basement level, which has also been done by the neighbour next door. Thanks, gong

Was told can only do the very basic one but exactly how "basic."... (I'm not expecting very fanciful one but at least has to be durable) Thinking of getting an engineer who can act as architecture to save cost, any good one that you guys can recommend...

But I thought u spent 418k and more on yr recontruction??? I only have 600k to build basment + 2.5storey intermediate..... Buay gao leh..... So need yr advice how to save cost...eg. Get engineer to double up as architect or one builder for all .... Perhaps u could pm me yr contacts.....Pls
