  1. I have been using Bellari cooker hoob and hob for nearly 10 years. Don;t find it fantastic. It is sleek but not pratical. The chimney hood is difficult to clean. I will be moving out and have been actively looking for hood and hob. Still find that pratical usage is important. Don't go just for the look. Usually they would recommend Rinnai hob and Fujioh FX900. I am going to get this set. Anyone has comments?
  2. Fujioh Fx900 HOB & Rinnai hob with 3 burners (tempered glass) Anyone has used the above and would you mind to share if there is any pros and cons to consider? Thanks
  3. I did my 3 rooms hdb resale flat 10 years ago by sourcing respective contractor on our own. We save quite a fair bit. Things that I feel easier to manage: Window glass & grills, painting, wardrobe - get respective specialist. Cheap and no hassle. plumbing, tiles, kitchen cabinet & electrical: would be easier to get a good contractor to handle unless you know very well what to do.
  4. for my house 16.5 ft, contractor quoted $780.
  5. Hi All, Could anyone share where to get kitchen sink, dish rack & bathroom accessories?
  6. Hi all, I would like to share my experience in searching for ID/contractor for the past 1 month. I had called quite a few contractor/ID recommended in this forum. Most of them couldn't make it (about 4 of them) simply because the design & quality is totally out, not even passing my minimum expectation. Please beware for the posting in renovation forum. Always seek for workmanship. Be careful in selection of ID/Contractor: 1. DO NOT sign quotation untill you are certain what is given (material selection (what brand, range....), design, workmanship, actual measurement & payment term) 2. DO NOT get ID with FREE GIFTs. Just think about who will pay for it at the end? There is no such thing call free lunch in the world. 3. DO NOT get ID who helds exibition in EXPO as the rental in EXPO is sssssoooo expensive. 4. Some ID are good at sales talk and presentation. Be alert to what is sold to you not what is presented/display. 5. DO NOT believe in lifetime warranty. Some may dissappear/close down the next year. When there is problem arise, some just attend once or twice, that is all. So don't believe in this lifetime thing. ID could just easily change the company's name, relocation,disappear... 6. What is promised got to be written down on the paper. No oral promise. 7. How often ID would visit the site? 8. I know that usually after signing the quotation blindly, every single changes, they would charge, charge... This is the tactic for them to earn money. SO, do discuss in details as mentioned in no. 1 before signing up the paper. Just to share for quotation that i got. Wardrobe with internal in color per ft = range from $240 to $360 Iquartz = $145 per ft Kitchen cabinet (white inside) = $120 per ft I have experience an ID in IMM, refuse to let me have a copy of the quotation. Something is fishy. So we have rejected this ID. Per my experience Kitchen worktop = i prefer black galaxy/blue pearl granite ( use black galaxy for 9 years with no problem at all). If you have budget, can opt for quartz, just a little bit more. Choose for secondary option of quartz. Ceacerstone is too expensive, about 40% more compare to granite's price. Backsplash = I do not prefer stainless steel as backsplash as it is very difficult to maintain. I have used it for 9 years. I prefer tempered glass as it is easy to clean and nice. But my ID said that for heavy user, the color sprayed on it will turn yellow and won't be nice. So , not recommended for heavy cooking. My new house will be using the existing tile provided by HDB. Lamination = go for reliable brand eg: EDL (modern, nice & reliable), Lam chuan. This is what i know. Window grill = use the normal hollow one will do. My existing flat's brown window grills have been with us more than 10 years with excellent condition till now. Hob = I personally prefer Rinnai as the flame is strong and good for chinese cooking. Air-cond = we use sharp but the utility bill is scary. Quiet. We are going to use Mitsubishi converter.

  10. May i know how is the price for JourneyEast?

  11. BELLARI I have been using bellari hook and hob, basin (the biggest size)for 9 years. Feedback: The hook is very stylist but not easy to clean up. The super big single basin is The hob (tempered glass with 3 burners): the flame is too small.
  12. Hi, Very nice i must say. May i know how much you spend on renovation alone? Do you have good recommendation of sofa? I've been trying to get one. Aside of it, do you know where to get child's size furniture with better prize? Sorry for asking too much. Thanks a lot.
