    Highly recommend U Service curtains as well and I also engaged them for Venetian blinds. Their prices is cheapest after 4 quotes including some recommended ones in this forum. I am not related to them in any way but felt good price, service and product should be recommended. Attached their contacts here.

    GROHE Shower Head and Mixer
    While the thing itself fitted nicely, I'm a little disappointed that Water pressure
    from the GROHE Shower Head was just so-so only. :huh:
    At first I was like "Oh dear...is it because my place water pressure is naturally low?"
    (What ive read is that sometimes High floor water pressure is lower then lower floors)

    Guess what?
    I changed the GROHE Shower Head to HDB's default shower head and to my surprise,
    the water pressure was MUCH BETTER!?!? What!?!? :o

    This is the water pressure from the GROHE Shower Head
    This is already set at maximum. Feels only so-so.

    This is the water pressure from HDB’s Default Shower Head
    Notice how much more stronger it is? :D

    So Dear Readers, Lesson Learnt.
    Don't just throw out HDB's default fittings, they may sometimes work better!! :D

    I experienced this in my flat as well. An expensive shower head gives very weak water pressure while a cheap cheap shower head has proper water pressure.

    This is why I am not keen to spend on expensive shower heads. In the end, I gave the expensive shower head to my sibling.

    ANYWAY, I will be doing a review with the good, the bad and relevant pictures so, I guess till then.

    Hi dietgalvon, I have been following your blog and will definitely look forward to your review on CX.

    Just so you know, with your detailed accounts and pictures of the problem areas, I find them unacceptable (to me) and I am quite convinced that CX has not been up to standard or value (that you had paid for) as compared to other renovations I have seen. Even if your experience should be considered as an isolated one (to the good experiences that others has attested to), it is not a good enough reason for me to consider them anymore simply because one case is far too many, meaning who knows if they may treat my reno the same as yours!!

    Just to share my experience. I've just moved into my newly renovated (resale) flat. The ID I engaged is very responsible & knowledgeable on the renovation details. As we've no idea on the theme we wanted, he provided us the ideas & recommendation that make our house very cozy & nice-looking. And, because of false promise from the flat seller (promised early move out for us to start renovation earlier), we ran out of time for the renovation. Also, we've made last-minute decision on the scale of the renovation (at first worried about budget but finally decided to do everything at one go). All these problems were resolved by my ID & we managed to move in according to our scheduled time. Best of all, quality of the renovation is not compromised. And even now, 3 months after renovation completed & moved in, my ID is still very helpful whenever I met some minor problems & solve the problems free of charge. Do let me know if you're interested. I can pass you his contact & you can get the consultation & quotation from him free of charge.

    Hi, I am also looking at resale flat. Kindly share your ID's contacts. Thanks!

    Hi phantommist, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. Your preference in certain areas are quite similar to mine (prefer easy access and easy maintenance, L box with down lights, ceiling fan to eliminate standing fan etc). I am in process of buying a (also) resale unit. 

    1) If you don't mind, can you share where did you buy your lights/down lights, taps/bathroom accessories, TV console, sofa and bed+bed frame?
    2) Reason for your choice to install glass back splash in kitchen? Any risk of breakage/crack? Is it easy to maintain?
    3) Any problems with your homogeneous tiles so far? Are the grouts in between tiles easy to maintain/clean? 
    4) Any reason need to "acid wash whole house to remove stains TWICE"?
    5) I liked the idea of 2-way light switch at main door and bedroom. How do you put that on contract?
    6) Looking back now, what are the things that you would have done differently or regret not doing?

    Hi, I shared many same sentiments as you - in terms of walk-in wardrobe, false ceiling, position of TV (especially this is so true "I dislike this feeling of discomfort and would think that there would be occasions where wifey or myself would be startled by each other.") and  under-mount sink.  

    1) Can you share with me details of your main contractor M S C and also the aircon installer?

    2) You chose homogeneous tiles for your flooring. I read online the main issues include tile cracks, hollow tiles and dirty grout in between tiles. Did you experience these and what is your review?

    3) I see you did glass backslash for your kitchen wall. Is it easy to maintain? 

    4) If you can do it again, is there anything you would do differently?

    Thanks in advance
