Can show floor plan?

The Planning Stage My professor back in uni always say "IF U FAIL TO PLAN, U PLAN TO FAIL", nothing is further from the truth. Most contractors and IDs nowadays are the old school type "I have been doing this all my life, I know what I am doing...guran-T one lah" When things screws up.. its either or . Then forumers will complain and post topics like "Please don't using Tan Ah Lian ID...they used sub-sub-sub contractors and Ah Lian never returned my call after I sign and pay the 50% deposit!" We know we need to exercise our due diligence in this selection process..we are ultimately responsible for the outcomes and this is our house and money..... Our selection and evaluation criteria includes the following 3 key parameters: a) Costs b) Quality C) Reliability If I continue to elaborate further all of you will be zz zz so this was how we selected Laska to be our ID! The theme of our house Aiya...a picture tell a thousand words..just look at the initial 3D designs!! Living Hall (Front) Living Hall (Back) Swee boh... -----------> To be continued to with more 3D pictures!!

3. Your Budget As the saying goes "No money no talk" ....if you are looking for fancy tiles or other flooring like parquet or fancy designs like feature walls or other carpentry, prepare to folk out lots of dough for it. According to the contractors and IDs we have talked to and reinforced by the sifus in Renotalk ...carpentry is the best component of your quotation to negotiate downwards... As demonstrated by many forumers here, we tend to get our budget busted time after time.. :jawdrop: "Can we built an extension har?" "How much to hack this wall?" "I would like to have a feature wall with modern settings" "Why is hacking the toilet so expensive?" Please don't forget you need need $$ for the hidden items sometimes contractors or IDs don't talk you about your renovation quotation a) Aircon ducting/piping replacement with hacking and plastering b) Electrical Works c) Install this and that lah d) Vector control lah (termite, ants, kakua infestations etc) e) Repairing leaking roofs Maybe the sifus can add more from their experiences... Among the IDs we looked that, Laksa seemed to someone we can work with and with her track record of being a responsible and strict renovation professional, especially dealing with workers...we decided that she is THE ONE!! (Although she is not the most economical)

The ONE Laksa has a bubbly character . At a glance there was a stark contrast between what bloggers wrote about her vs first impressions of her . She was frank and open on her style of working and was clearly enthuaistic about her profession. She was a Reno Ninja in disguise Being someone who is kiasu (and being a rookie as well) and upon reviewing the sifus (experts) in "RENOTALK", the following is a checklist of stuff to prepare before you see your potential ID: 1. Your floor plan No, no just the floor plan that I have shown in the beginning of the blog you will need one with dimensions. Either your "competent" property agent can assist you or you will have to go down personally to BCA (Building Control Authority) to view the film and pay some $$ to print out for you. I was lucky, Agent 007 did everything for me ....sibei heng argh... A BCA layout plan (Top View) looks like this 2. Your Interior Style This is where all the magazines, showrooms and friends' houses' designs come into the picture. You gotton ask yourself and your internal stakeholders (wife, mother-in-law, kids, girlfriend, mistresses what style they like). "Wah ni nia eh, country style belly siong one you know..." remarked Laska in her typical ah lian voice in a mix of English and Mandarin...We paused "That is an easy one for us" I whispered in my mind with a grin. Not done yet hor...Ran out of space----> to be continued...
