My ID just came back with some 3D drawings, base on what I wanted - "simple, comfort, modern". Living Room: 1/ Hack the wall between living room & kitchen, open up the space for dining. 2/ Add a glass panel to separated the kitchen, as well as to have better view from main entrance. Kitchen: 1/ Shorten the kitchen space as the original kitchen including dining space, where I want to relocate it to between living room & kitchen. Chaos,

2 weeks later, I'm going to HDB to collect key for my resale 3NG. Here is my floor plan: http://www.renotalk.com/forum/gallery/image/3569-floorplan/ My budget is around $30K. The original condition of the house is really original and old (30+yrs), have to redo everything.

My ID was recommend by a friend. He did my friend's house last year, nicely done! Before make the decision, I was hesitated if to use ID or Contractor for a while, as budget concern , contractor is relatively cheaper. but because I don't know much about the renovation work, if use direct contractor may have difficulty in coordination and may end up cause more in unnecessary rectification. As for price wise, I compared the quotation from 3-4 ID firms, the prices are more or less the same except one firm (N*D) , just some IDs added est.electricity and some not. so it is easier for me to decide to use "D*G*" base on good experience of my friend. Look forward to my new home!

Hi guys, i'm new to this forum, new to renovation. I initially wanted to buy a "ready-to-move-in" type for my 1st home, as really knows nothing about renovation. The only memory of renovation is when i was in school, helping my father repaint our old house many many years ago. But it is really difficult to find a house have everything you like, hence after several viewing - end up I bought a 30yrs old house with a good price, and have to do renovation inside out. I have to worry about how to do RENOVATION now!
