HiHi!! Finally its my turn to create my reno t-blog I'm so excited to share it here... but, upset with myself that i didnt take as many photo as i can before reno although all BTO looks abt the same.. But will still post some pics...
The house is about 70% done. We engaged a contractor and im the "designer" for my house, i have decided it will be a black, white and grey theme.
My reno involves alot of hacking and carpentry works...The view from main door...
The view from the kitchen entranceThe view from service yard..
Sorry doesnt have any pic for the bed room and toilet.. will update the reno pic this week..Attached my floorplan
A brief list on the things that we are going to do :
1) Conceal bedroom 2 door and create a new door on the wall opposite master room toilet.
2) Change the kitchen entrance to another side and do half height glass.
3) False ceiling for whole house except room 2 as its going to be a walk in wardrobe so only can have track light.
4) change all W/C and basin and all doors.
5) Carpentry works in kitchen, service yard, living room and all 3 bed rooms..
6) 2 layer of platform bed in master room.
7) Overlay vinyl flooring for whole house
Total Reno Damage $36,363. Still not yet finalize as we add or change abit here and there so it might increase, but will keep it below 40k. -

He say he can apply permit to hack walls and everything... Hmmmmm.... I still confuse lo.... Shall source for other Contractors as well... Good Contractors are so hard to find...

He say that he can apply permit... But he is not under hdb approved contractor.. Will hdb Depay his application of permit? Or will hdb disapprove of the application?? He is a sincere contractor so the only waste is he is not under hdb approved list lo..

tx sweetmelody06, ^_^ no choice.. didn't had a balcony in my first house and regretted badly after staying for 10 yrs. And this house which is pretty rare does come with one as well (the entire block doesn't have balcony) so have to sort of squeeze one out from the thin air.
yes, u seriously need a permit to hack any walls from HDB. And it would be the best to get ur contractor to apply early so the day u get ur keys will also be the day to hack.. wouldn't waste time waiting.
Yup, BTO walls can be hack to. As long as you have a permit for it. But if you look closely at your floorplan, you would realise that certain walls are in solid black colors. those walls you can't hack as its part of the building foundation.
As long as the wall which you wanted to hack is not shaded in solid black on your floorplan, the chances of it getting approved is like 99%. So don't worry too much.. go apply first.. reject then re-plan.
And in any case, if kena reject (only if its a wall which is suitable for hacking) , yes u can try re applying.
hope the info helps ^_^
hihi, thanks so much for replying... ya i only wanted to hack the wall between my master bedroom and the room beside it, to do a WIW only..
oh yes, i just went to see the floor plan and true enough there is a solid black line but its not a full line thank god, its only like 1/3 of the wall only..
my BTO still long long way to go, and i very much wanted to start my T-blog leh... but i cant, only just selected the unit of my flat only... so its still a long wait for me..
nice idea to have a balcony, i think my house cant squeeze any space for balcony leh, cos dunno how big it is, as new flat is only 112sqm...
-
wow so so so cosy... i really love the mini balcony in your room... super cosy can!!
may i know if hacking walls need permit from HDB or we can just proceed? Can a new BTO hack walls? cos i wanted so much for a walk in wardrobe... what if they decline our request? can we re-apply again?

So weird i couldnt upload the rest of the photo it keeps saying photo upload fail..
ok managed to upload the rest of the pic...
My small kitchen..
Common toilet... Master toilet also same concept.. And i have the normal glass partition with swing glass shower door so didnt take a pic..
My walk in wardrobe.. I uses one of the room beside master room to turn into a walk in wardrobe.. I seal the original emtrace for the bedroom and open a new entrance with glass sliding door..
this side is all for clothings.. 4 big door divide equally between me and hubby so no snatching of spaces.. Haha...
Another side of the walk in warobe mainly to put bags and to do my makeup and other things..
The big mirror..... The opposite of this walk in wardrobe door is the master toilet entrance..
My son's play room...
His future wardrobe...
My platform bed... On the opposite side of the platform bed is a study table.. Will take a better full view pic next time when everything is up... Now is without furniture.. Will upload pics with all the furnitures...
