    you don need an PE to supervise the hacking works and no PE will supervise for u as its contractor's job, PE only tell u which wall can be removed. HDB will tell u whether ur work require a PE or not.

    hdb only allow free screed for laminate n vinyl flooring, to get the correct level you wan u need to talk to the hdb screed contractor else they just top up 40mm. if u r doing homogeneous or ceramic tiles ur contractor has to settle the rest for you. i paid 5k+ for homogeneous tiles for living & corridor only + haulage

    take more photo evidence, rmb if u already paid them majority of the $$, u're already at the loose end, try talk to them nicely, make them admit their fault first...if really cannot then goto their management, last resort file to CASE.

    drainage pipe will be at common bathroom, pardon the horizontal pipe, later goto cut a hole in the kerb & pull the pipe through. total 8 pipes as we will be installing 2 compressors, one 20k BTU for MBR + parents room and one 28k BTU for living + walk-in-wardrobe initially the aircon installer highlighted to me that with 8 pipes its difficult to fit into the mbr toilet false ceiling due to the existing drainage pipes and might warp the false ceiling grills (like pregnant), but when i checked, nothing went wrong. i must say they did a good job (haven tested though)

    new aircon wire with 20amp isolator installed meet gaincity aircon guy this morning, by afternoon 5pm all installed according to what we discussed. i specifically told him, i don allow any trunking in my MBR toilet. however some of the piping in MBR is difficult to hide, they will be boxed up later. new aircon wire will be fitted into aircon trunking taking reference from my friend's house, my 24k BTU starmex is 110cm wide, it has to be offset to the right as my display cabinet is on the left on the corridor. they also drew out the dimension of the false ceiling cutout so the aircon can be installed later we wan all the piping to be out from the rooms so we can box up in the corridor to have a cleaner look During the discussion, i realise when the piping ran across the entrance of the walk-in-wardrobe, sliding glass door cannot be installed with the pipe in place, as there is no way to install tracks...goto change to swing door =\ consider save money although not as slick looking...

    Hi u can just write to HDB General enquiry email, they will refer to ur HDB officer. HDB contractor will use prepacked screed to do for you. as for ur tiler, they will need to use prepack starting 1st june. Please note that the free screeding is only for ur vinyl or laminate flooring, it's not for ur contractor to save on screed n lay tiles on it. If HDB find out they will fine u. I'll pm u the appeal email good luck

    more lighting points done met with ID firm manager, he is quite friendly and willing to rectify all defects i highlighted in the MBR bathroom, kerbs, floor tile, etc, especially the feature wall, it will be removed and overlay again at no extra cost (depending on the tiles we chose vs contract quote) when i asked how come the floor & wall tiles don line up, tiler explained that the water will drain faster as he made use of 4 tiles to form a slope. but i don buy it, i want the line to align nicely..as long as water can drain off. they will redo the floor tile for the bathing area. regarding the feature wall, he mention that the existing tile i chose have variations and do not have even matching lines, making it difficult for tiler to align perfectly. taking this opportunity, we went hafary and chose another type of tile to make tiler's life easier. close up look, this Italian tile has interlocks, meaning it will not have problems with vertical alignment, tiler only need to take care of horizontal part. ID highlighted that the area at the bathroom window might not look as neat as tiler needs to trim the "uneven" tiles. we shall see how skilful they are. initially i really wanted them to tear down the wall & reconstruct the way i wanted (manager is willing to, although it makes the tile/wall contractor pretty angry), but he reassure us the work is done with good intention to introduce less joints, dowel bars, mesh & stiffener all added and guarantee years of defect repair for this wall. Having 2nd look at the MBR entrance, it acts as a stiffener to prop against the joint between the 2 bricks they put in, hopefully it might have less problem than i initially thought. i decided to let them off, the wall will not be rebuild. also discussed on the living room & passageway tile layout, will be looking at the setting out plan before allowing them to start work. Quite satisfied with today's outcome since they willing to settle all the problems. Hopefully they also understands that we as a client who paid a premium only wish for quality work and peace of mind. Also, we impose no deadline on them, there is no LD, so take as long as they want, just give us quality.
