  1. He is quite fast. The team of tiler had left and the electical team took over today. I think the plumper and my aircon ppl should be coming next week. I copy the design from one of the blogger here as my initial design cannot be used due to some issue.. But this second option turn out to be even nicer
  2. It had been a hetic week.. we manage to got quite a few items done for the new house. - Mange to confirm the eletrical works: Lighting Point Plan Power Point Plan After we confirmed the plan, we are now worried that we do not have enough power point in the house... Now we are hoping there will be more than sufficient power points, if not then i will - Tiling works for the new house are about 90% done except for MBR toilet. My fav tiles for the house: :sport-smiley-004: Lastly, we went shopping today and decide to get the mini sofa that we had been eyeing for a while for our little girl. She and her playmate can sit on the sofa to read and play in future...
  3. Had email you the contact.
  4. Finally got the key for the house and we went down today to meet Alan on site to do a site measurement and confirm of the details. Now, we just have to wait for the renovation permit to be approv before we can start work next Thur. We had shortlist alot of design that we wanted for the house,therefore we decided to link all the pictures together to see if it will turn out fine. Tentatively, the whole feel of the house looks good and it is similar to what we had in mind. Hope everything will turn out fine
  5. We had confirmed our final layout for the new house, there will have alot of hacking and rebuilding of walls. Hacking permit submitted and hopefully we can start hacking on 24 Jan. All wet works, rebuid of wall, electrical works should be done before CNY. Carpentary work will start after CNY and hopefully, we can move into our new house by end of March. Some pre-reno photo.
  6. We came out with a layout on our own as we are still waiting for a few input from a few firm that we are going to see. We feel that we actually did not fully utilise the space the master bedroom area in front of the wardrobe. Anyone got any feedback on the layout? Beside, i got a quotation from for my house system 3 aircon. 1) Mitsubishi Electric Inverter Model : MXY-4A38VA/MSY-GE10VA x 2 + MSY-GE24VA (38,241Btu) - Bedroom x 2 + Master $3,550.00 2) Daikin Model : 4MKS80ESG/FTKS25DVM x 2 + FTKS60FVM (27,296Btu) - Bedroom x 2 + Master $4,100.00 Is this consider exp? I know nothing about aircon totally..
  7. I think most area in Pasir Ris are most similar pricing now.. Ppl are asking for ridiculous COV. I think i got this unit at a good pricing
  8. Mine is at St 51. Opp pasir ris park
  9. Went to Air Division to take a look at their year end sale and see if our fav TV console is on discount or not. Got a great suprise that Air is trying to clear this console as there is a small dark patch on top of the console and that patch is a bit rough when u feel it. Since this console is only display at their showroom for 1 week only and we feel that the spot will be cover when we place out TV on top of it. We decide to get it on the spot Total damage: $2.6k!!
  10. It ia about $5.95 per sq ft but they have some package price for 3/4/5 rooms.
  11. We had always wanted to have wood flooring for our house but did not get it as we are afraid of the maintenance required. We did some research online and discover this flooring from Evorich called High End Resilient Flooring (HERF). High end resilient flooring (HERF) is a strong substitute to conventional laminate and parquet flooring due to its wood like and waterproof features. As it look interesting, we went down to Evorich office to take a look at the actual product. We like the feel of the floor when we step on it and it claim to be 100% water proof. Evorich offer us the promotion price they offered at the Expo Fair that ended last weekend. We decide to take up their offer as this will save us cost on hacking the floor and laying it with homo tile and parquet in the living room. One major item settled for my renovation.
  12. Thanks May_dream1! She had wanted it for years and we decided to get it since it was having a discount at the Mayer Expo Sale.
  13. Meet up with serveral ID/Contract: 1) Intradesign Meet up with the same ID that did my current house 5 years ago. Sent her an email informing her what are our requirement. Meet her 1 week later to look at quotation and design. Quotation excluded items that she think it is not necessary and it will cause us exceed our budget. Overall experience 7/10. 2) Artistroom Meet up with Mark. He start by asking me and our wife personal details and our lifestyle which me and wife feel very odd. Mark sense our discomfort and told us that he was actually trying to know our lifestyle so that he can built the house to suit our need. That why he ask us question like "How many pair of shoes do we have?" so that they can know how big a shoe cabinet we need to have. Next, we go through their portfolio which are quite impressive to us. Will meet them again 2 weeks later to look at the quotation and design. Overall experience 9/10. 3) Mr K Meet up with Mr at my house after viewing all the works done by him in reno blog. Got a quote from him 1 week later. Wife and me feel that his quotation are too high, totally nv expected it. Decided to drop him. Overall experience 6/10. 4) James - Recommendation from friend. Meet up with contactor James at my house after recommendation. Go through with him what are our requirement of the new house which he took now. He sent us a 3D drawing 1 week which it totally different from what we had discuss. Sent him an email to let him know what are the thing changes needed and told him to contact us to clarify if he do not understand it. He said that he will go take a look and get back to us. 3 days later, he sent us a quotation with major items exclude and include some items we total never include. Price are ridiculous high (He quote me $6.5k for false ceiling work)... I told my wife even if i put all homo tiles on the ceiling also not so exp... Decide to drop him. Overall experience 1/10. I guess i would need to speak to a few more ID/Contractors to do more comparison. ID searching is really a painful process..
  14. Since this is our second house, me and my wife had got some "experience" in renovation. Thus, we had list down the items of what we want to do for our new house. Requirement for the new house Balcony - Built shoe cabinet under window Living Room - Built craftstone wall outside study room Kitchen - Create an Open concept kitchen - Built an Island at entrance of kitchen with dinning table MBR & Bedroom 3 - Hack wall between main bedroom and bedroom 3 - Built wardrode and a corner for reading and watching tv Bedroom 2 - Build a wardrobe in bedroom 2 Toilet - Complete makeover of both toilet Misc - Hack all flooring and wall tiles in the house - Rewiring for whole house - Replace all water pipe - False ceiling for whole house - Replace front gate, main door and all bedroom doors - Lay homogenous tile in living room - Lay parquet in all bedroom To have a rought idea of the budget we need for the new house, we went to a ID shop in IMM that used to be quite famous in renotalk when i did my renovation 5 years ago to get a quotation. This ID shop have a package price for resale 5-room. The sale person then start explaining to us about the package they had for their resales 5 room flat. That ID just took 1 mins to come out with the design of my new house. He merely just draw a line in each bedroom and told me this is the wardrode. Then he just draw a L-shape and tell me this is the kitchen. After that, he told me the total charges will be $30k and told me if i want to pay a deposit now.. Haa.. me and my wife look and each other and smile . We just told him our little girl is hungry and we will get back to him.. The standard had drop so much that we totally do not believe it.. After this incident, we decide to sent our requirement to some of the more popular ID/Contactor and our previous ID to get new quotation. ID that i had approached so far: 1) Int**Design 2) Mr K 3) Art**room Will update again on our meeting with them.
