    In case you haven't noticed, I like to tinker with the floor plan whenever I am bored, it lets me take my mind off my work and research, so before having met with any IDs, I liked to sketch out my ideas like this,

    I had no clue whether what I proposed is actually doable (knowing that HDB has a thousand and one regulations seemingly to make sure that you'd never have it your way).

    almost have the same layout as mine.

    totally agree that the toilets are very small in size, for mine, i hacked away the toilet wall and have the 2 toilets joined together.

    Searching for IDs

    After we have confirm we would want to purchase the unit, we went on to search for IDs and getting quotation for renovating our new nest. we have my bro-in-law, a few IDs friends and recommended by my ex colleague who create a blog here too: Huiqing He

    Its really a hard time deciding who to go for as all of their design more or less are the same. After much consideration, we went to Eric from **dio.

    In fact, their pricing are on the higher side compare to my BIL and IDs friends quotations. Why we choose the higher quotation? reason being that we would not want things to turn ugly if the design or construction didnt went the way we wanted and so i guess to avoid all the argument, we would rather pay.

    Below are the 3D that he had proposed to us:

    We're going for industrial Scandi look for the new house.

    Hello Everyone,
    Having been luring here for some time and its time to give everything back to the new and existing homeowners renovating their beloved home.
    Wife and I have been paying the stupid $10 application for the new BTO flat and disappointingly got a very backend q number for the new flats. So i told my wife to F it and we went ahead in searching for a resale flat.
    Remembered it was on the 14th day of the chinese 7th month that wife and i went to view a flat somewhere around the vicinity of my parent's home and paid the OTP on that night itself.
    Lets cut the story short and collected my keys on 30th last month.
    Floorplan:

    Resale Flat:

    Flat itself was build in the 70s, a 4rm with 98sqm of space and miserable small toilets.

    Collected the keys and went up to view the flat:

    hi all, i am new to this. :help:

    sorry, i am not sure how to change the topic heading :(

    still hunting for a resale unit (4rm/5rm) but i need to plan my finances properly

    is a 30K budget enough for the below? i do not know if I miss out anything important..

    1) total re-do of kitchen and 2 toilets

    2) re-do living room floor? hacking and re-laying homogenous tiles

    3) build in wardrobe for master?

    4) maybe laminate the other 2 bedrooms floor

    5) light box for living room and master

    appreciate advice from all the readers here :)

    just bought a 4ng resale and renovation itself cost around 50k (whole house).

    its a 36 years old flat and is still in its original state.
