  1. Hi do you guys know if there is a minimum stipulated distance for this? - dishwasher tap to dishwasher electric socket - if not, how about just the minimum distance of water outlet to power socket? thanks!
  2. Hi my builder is suggesting as part of major reno to get a roofing guy to check the integrity of my 20y tile roof KIV change the tiles/battens. He says changing to metal roof will cost more because it involves changing the timber rafters & replace with new steel structure/purlin & metal sheet, plus need to check on the existing structure to design the steel support for the roof. Is this true? He generally knows his stuff but I wanted to check w u experts, as professor Google says metal roofs are generally lighter than clay roofs.
  3. Thanks. can I just double check on approx costs. Thinking if it’s worth shifting the meter box. upgrade to 3 phase is how much? move the meter box outside is how much? any price difference between normal meter and smart meter? KM
  4. Hi I’m looking to build a single storey extension for my inter terrace. Anyone has recommendations for reputable builders?
  5. Thanks. some more questions: A&A = $3210 + how much QP fees + other fees, just to clear it legally? I am just wondering if it is worth it. I can skip all these fees and do a lean to extension under 20sqm, but ideally I would like to do a 27sqm extension but wondering if the added cost is worth it. Lodgement application - URA also says approval can come in the form of a lodgement application. Is that the same as plan lodgement, and what is the difference between this and A+A? As on URA website it is much cheaper at $749. thanks.
  6. Yes I contacted URA about it as well. They say anything above 20sqm needs a development application. Anyone knows how much it costs to submit URA development application?
  7. Thanks. correct me if I’m wrong but I thought for single storey lean to extension with lightweight roof, BCA says no need to submit for approval?
  8. Hi I know there is a thread on ID vs builder vs architect but I still have some questions so I’m posting a new theread. just got a 70s inter terrace for which I would like the following done - extend first floor built up by about 25 sqm, shift toilet fitting position, major internal reno I contacted my previous ID who did a very very good job with my condo reno but he is a one man outfit. would actually like to continue with him as he provides very good service and follow up. And he offers good suggestions to reduce costs. However not sure if this is too much for him to handle (given there is extension). Should I be engaging a builder instead? Thanks.

  10. Hi couldn’t seem to find any topics on this so decided to ask. the old terrace I bought has two level 2 toilets in the middle of of the house. They share a 4 inch SWVP which runs vertically down to level 1 right in the middle of the living and dining room. can I check, is it possible to run this pipe around the walls so it’s not so obtrusive? Or do main SWVPs need to be vertical without horizontal parts?
  11. Hi I just bought an inter terrace with an inspection chamber in the backyard. I see that many of my neighbours have extended the built up area such that the IC is now indoors. I am thinking of doing the same. Can I ask - is it acceptable for the IC to be indoors, as long as it is still accessible for maintenance? - does sewage gas leak from the IC? thanks.
  12. Hi I just purchased an inter terrace. Previous owner filled up the front porch garden bed with concrete and now I would like to recreate one. Anyone had any experience - est cost, potential problems?
  13. Letting go of a 20W Philips ceiling light model 31816 (daylight colour 6500K). This is NEW, still in unopened box. original as per Philips Sg website: $130. Asking for $60. self collect Bedok south.
