went in for some progress photo, greeted by the partition wall, this pic just show the clearance between the main door n partition wall when fully open, i hope no problem when delivering furnitures. behind this wall will be dining area, reason built this wall is firstly for fengshui (no direct view to windows/door), 2ndly cos i bought a 2m dining table, too long cant fit anywhere, lastly to install the dining light switch on it false ceiling up to hide all the ugly lighting points and in-ceiling speaker. did L-box instead of cove light, didn like the idea of cleaning view from corridor ceiling with 6" gap near the window for double curtain tracks later, i didn wanna install the curtain below existing window beam as i think it will make my unit look shorter than it already is

measurement done for false ceiling, materials on site. had a discussion with ID on the opening size, location, lines etc... collected KDK fan from my friendly neighbour who bought for me from JB opened one of the box, 2x Aames chair Evorich guy came to do measurement for my bedrooms, he suggested to me that i should do carpentry (wardrobe) first then they can lay HERF vinyl, this prevent scratching done by carpenters and also can reduce the area needed to lay vinyl, save some $$$ however, upon checking he told me that my bedroom entrance screed is not levelled, some area 5mm, some 3mm, to my horror he told me the HERF is actually 5mm not 3mm..WTH! the sales clearly told me its 3mm & asked me to offset 5mm for adjustment... but he also said that it can be resolved with a pvc bridge over...so...i hope everything turn out nice... so buyers of HERF beware...its 5mm thick not 3mm..and i think having offset of 7mm is a safer bet... we chose the Amsterdam eggshell white as i think it is more close to our theme.

Screed is basically a level finishing before u lay ur tiles/parquet/vinyl etc. it's a sand n cement mix. usually contractor mix cement & sand to a certain ratio (1:3-5, w/wo aggrevates depend on the application) concrete is the one added with bigger aggrevates (small size stones) Prepack screed only means that sand/cement already mixed properly in the pack, contractor no longer need to mix using mixer on the spot New requirement in place to make sure the mix is even & to requirement. Will cost higher. If u request for HDB screed they will use prepack screed. Starting next month Reno contractor goto use prepack as well for all flooring works. HDB only give u foc screed if u laying laminate/parquet/vinyl but not tiles
