    Hi Saru,

    How long will hdb take to approve the permit?

    Hi Neighbour

    I first called this guy 67421822
    Engineer registraion no. 2987

    Boey Choong Fatt Field of Engineering CIVIL Emploer Cse consultants company address 118 Lorong 23 (of Sims Ave) #SCN Industrial Building S388402

    $300-$400.

    Then when i dug further if engineer required on site they will charge about $500-$600.

    Eventually settled with my ID to have her PE do it for us for $500, which will be on-site. Onsite is required just in case HDB check. If not, you can get by rubber stamping with PE signature. Pester your contractor to find PE for you

    Moral of the story is for our kids to be PE or lawyer - one signature = $200-$300 :P

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    I have exactly the same thinking with you after running here and there islandwide and lastly feel that TB price is more attractive :)

    I'm looking for sanitary and lighting as well.

    You buy from Taobao or Taobao SEA for using NETS and local CC as payment method?

    Which forwarder are you using?

    How much they charge?

    Any tips to share when shop at TB?

    Day 17 of renovation

    House is still going thru the long process of water-proofing and cement screeding. It really takes a long time as they need to be dried and processed and adding more waterproofing and waiting for it to dry again. So is the cement screed process. They need to smoothen the walls and floors and then let it dry and do touch up. It shd be done by this week where they will lay the kitchen and toilet floor tiles. Hopefully all will be in schedule.

    In the mean time, we went to another phrase of renovation. Shopping at TaoBao. Finally the long awaited shopping for sanitary fittings and lightings. I spend almost 2 months going thru many shops almost in the whole of Singapore. IMM, geylang, jalan besear, balestier. And honestly the prices are about the same throughout the shops but quite atrociously priced above TB. So we took the leap of faith of maybe poor quality and bad service. But what the heck, I save almost 60-70% so who cares. The most I chhange my lightings and fittings every 1-2 years since its so cheap. Haha. Below are my list of items I bought.

    - kitchen sink with tap (free gift of stainless steel dish drainer, wooden chopping board and a 6 set knive set.
    - master bath toilet bowl ( free gift of toilet paper holder and toilet brush)
    - master bath wash basin with tap
    - 2 towel rail
    - toilet paper holder
    - 3 stainless steel floor trap
    - 2 rain shower sets
    - washing machine tap
    - 4 ceiling lights with remote control
    - 2 tracks with 10 track lights
    - set of 3 pendant lights.
    - 2 toilet lights
    - chalk wall wallpaper
    - doorbell
    - and a box of Lego for the kids.

    Total damage - $1380. I bought them if wed night, and according to the tracking numbers, all have been delivered to my shipping warehouse. Only left the kitchen sink as they will only deliver next wed. So keeping fingers cross and all that will be delivered smoothly.

    For those that are interested to buy from Taobao, here's a good news. They have open up to Singapore market. They actually accept NETs and credit card payments now. Don't need to go thru agents anymore if u know how to do it. They also have shipping to Singapore as well but I figured they won't be cheap. Just need to arrange your own shipping if you have one. I'm using Amcon as most of the forummers here are doing.

    Good luck to all that are considering shopping at Taobao.

    your pseudo marble tiles look good! :) For the hood and hob, i had same considerations as you but in the end i went with glass hob. My mom has been using glass hob for almost 10 years and till now it still looks good and no cracks whatsoever. Also she told me that it is easier to clean as well.

    May I know the brand of the glass hob? Thanks.
