  4. How you can save few hundrend of dollars if your floor area is big. 1) Measure the floor area yourself in square meter. Multiple the total floor area in sqm by 10.764 to get total floor area in square feet. Vendor charge by per sqft. If you don't measure yourself vendor will give you a higher measurement. 2) Ask the vendor their Vinyl or HERF per box is for how many square meter. example. 1 box have 8 pieces of Vinyl or HERF. 1 piece is 1200mm by 200mm So 1 box total can cover 1.92sqm floor area 3) Add 2-3% wastage example your floor area is 40 sqm plus wastage your total Vinyl or HERF needed should be about 40.8 to 41.2sqm 2% should be enough. 3% would be safe. 4) Since you need 40.8sqm, so 40.8sqm divide by 1.92sqm = 21.25 boxes 21 box multiple by 1.92sqm = 40.32sqm which is more than your floor area of 40sqm So tell them you will order 21 box plus 1 box extra. Total 22 boxes. Extra box not use will return and refund back. Remember to put that extra box one side if not the worker will open up all the boxes and you won't be able to refund back. 5) Remember to count the boxes and tell that person you only bring how many boxes so as to prevent any argument. when it arrive because you order that quantity and any balance ( few pieces ) you should keep. If not vendor can reuse and resell. Vendor will say wastage is about 5%. Don't bother about that just use 2% - 3% wastage is enough. Try to measure yourself and than compare with the vendor measurement. Eventually just use your measurement. How vendor earn extra from you. 1) Tell you a higher floor area measurement. 2) Tell you add 5% wastage. 3) Take back those unuse loose pieces Do your sum here. If you measure 40sqm and vendor say my measurement is 41sqm. We will use 41sqm than. 41sqm multiple by 5% wastage will be 43.05sqm. Therefore you need about 23 boxes because we sell by boxes. If you don't count how many boxes they bring over they may only give you 22boxes and if really not enough (I'm quite sure it should be enough) than they will use those loose pieces thus they short change you! 1 box extra will cost you 1.92sqm x 10.764sqft x $5.5psf x $1.07 = $121.6 Note: Measurement does not include skirting Note: It is only for your reference and it doesn't give you 100% confirmation.

  10. Hi everybody this is my first post and notice that hacking of walls is everybody main concern, especially the wall between living and kitchen. Majority of threads here concerning hacking of wall that i read so far in renotalk prefer to have the open concept. Unfortunately a lot of them only realise that hacking of the wall is not allow after committing to the unit but its too late. Hope to compile a list here to know which layout can hack. If cannot hack, engage PE whats the result and the total cost for getting the PE. Location also affect, because some said their location are built using prefab wall. Type A Type B Type C Type D 1) Mine is type 2) can hack or cannot hack 3) Cannot hack so engage PE, result is can hack / cannot hack / this wall can hack but that wall cannot hack 4) Total cost for the PE 5) I'm staying at
