Was quoted 1800 to reconstruct the room with hollow blocks

my experience tells me FSM then get your ID to design based on FSM's advice

awww.. that's hurt.. what an irresponsible ID.. my 2 cents, always go for the ID that is recommended by friend. It is not easy to be an ID. alot of coordination works required, and alot of details need to take care off. I'm fortunate that my ID so far does the job pretty well. anyway u have nice purchases for your furniture !

i can accept difference from the actual and the drawings. but i cant accept the difference for 2 countertops. They should at least make sure the 2 countertops are flushed or same level. Anyway 1 or 2 cm makes alot of difference. Usually the threshold is 5mm and below

sorry to hear that.. if i were you, i will change the entire door with a reliable digital lock. U'll find it worth spending the money to buy a peace of mind.

Avalon accept credit card at no extra charges. The rest they do accept but with additional charges.

my wife loves ash-grey.. so have requested the ID to change the laminates.

I hope you are not a heavy cooker... otherwise you will be having a hard time to clean your house For practical consideration, i would shift the hob and sink closer to the windows.

wow everything in your house is "retro" except the TV and aircon... It'd be perfect if you can replace your LCD/LED TV with B/W CRT

the best is to custom-made one.

hehe the utility used by the workers are nominal compared to the pricing you pay for the renovation anyway happy reno!

mine also waited for about 1 week to obtain the wall hacking approval.. Good luck!

very nice !!

jimbo, i noticed yours are a condo. Renovation cost for condo is generally higher compared to HDB. Same applies to landed/private properties. The pricing i'm quoting is to re-lay cable from the DB, but is an exposed trunking. If you are looking for concealed wiring, pricing will naturally be higher. It's quite labour intensive. They need to cut the wall and plaster back. I'm not too sure about the market price for concealed wiring works. Just to share some other costing that my ID quoted me, for your reference. Please bear in mind, the costing stated below are for exposed wiring. Labour to install light - $10 per pc 18way DB - S$360.00 TV point - $95.00 Fan Point/light point - $35.00 Labour to install fan - $40.00 per pc

congrats on your new home !! to me design is secondary, more importantly is the designer's attitude and sense of responsibility. There's plenty of design drawings in the cyberspace, just print them out and throw to designers, and tell them to follow.. haha

Looking good ! wishing you a smooth reno journey !

You can check if they are GST registered from here... https://mytax.iras.gov.sg/ESVWeb/default.aspx?target=GSTListingSearch

for your info, my double point cost me $60 (ID price), which is already on the high side. Market rate is around $50.00. I dun think u need a LEW endorsement for this kinda work..

well if u have read alot, u should understand the pros and cons of top / undermount sink be it top or undermount, ultimately still the workmanship speaks. the primary benefit of top mount is when comes to replacement. It can be replaced without damaging ur table top
