You must remember this. DO NOT RUSH! TAKE YOUR TIME. SOUCE FOR MORE QUOTATION. DRAFT OUT YOUR OWN SPREADSHEET AND COMPARE. (APPLE AGAINST APPLE) SEE SHOW FLATS. ASK ASK and ASK. NEVER TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED. DONT EXPECT OR ASSUME YOUR ID/CONTRACTOR KNOWS WHAT YOU WANT.

Hahaha...what to do? Already shifted in liao. There are lots of cut leg feeling here and there. Anyway, other than that danm tiler who screwed up my floor, the rest of the renov is good. I have no complain. And the after service is good too! Anyway, before this, I nearly to sign up with De Palmco.....luckily I did not. The others such as Ho Bee and Jade.

Yeah, I agreed with you. I do encounter not a good experience with the id also. I complain to them and glad that they have sack the granite tiler. I should have ask the tilers for compensation! I forgot! But what done is done. I just moved on.

Oh my goodness.....seem like renovating a house is not really 100% perfect isnt it? Anyway, I hope your id can recitified your problems and comes up with a good alternatives.

Actually the blum system is very cheap and easy to install. Just ask Tony to help you install lark. If you have the driller, just drill the nail onto the blum system. Of course the nail must not be longer than your cabinet widith.

No all different company. It was run by a young couple.

You forgot to factor in kitchen cabinet, kitchen top, etc.... That cost money too!

Hello KimYuan How's life getting on? Long time never see you liao. I am gonna call Tony to fix the door bell for me and check one of the living room swtiches...spolit liao! Last two weeks ago, my son has a nasty fall, cut his ear, required 15 stitches! I panicked, good thing I meet Gina mother and Tony. Tony offer to fetch me to KK. Gina sms me too about my son health. Really need to say thanks to them!

I also have this encountered before. But that was when I already moved in. The air con suddenly turn on by itseld. Mine is Mitsubishi Star Mex. Called the air con man to check. Due to sensor, something like that. After adjust, all ok liao. Anyway, I think if you still not move in yet, turn off the main swtich (compressor). Hope that helps.

My kitchen cabinets, display cabinets, all doors have. I think is the normal type as I saw my neighbours (same id) also using the same. So far, ok for me. I seldom cook, and door always closed. So, cannot really give any feedbacks. But if you go to ikea, their blum system is kind of good stuff. Except my drawers dont have the blum system. You may ask for one for your drawers.

If your painter is Vance or Ah Guan, you can 100% rest assure. His skills is very good. Before painting, normally he will like to talk face to face about how they do... Thumbs up for the painter. Hmmmmm...mine (grouting line) also like that...but it is better to have the whole floor wash up, then feel it with you leg for any cut leg feeling.... Good Luck!

The gap (grouting line) is for expansion especially during humid days, the tiles will expand. If no gap, the tiles might crack if it expand. Btw..who is your painter?

Hello YG, Watermarks?? I did not notice that for my granite top. There is 1 incident that during heavy downpour, my granite top (imperial golden) was soaked with water! A small mini poo cos the water did not flow out into the bottom cabinet! Now actually I did not bother wll those watermarks liao. Too lazy to clean. Aiyo...I need to instal the door bell, forget all about it! HAPPY

SINGAPORE : It may be a property buyers' market now, but the poor economy has brought woes to another segment of the housing industry. The business slump is turning contractors into casualties of the recession, forcing some to tout for business. Residents in Punggol have recently become the targets of touts. Several callers to Channel NewsAsia's news hotline said they had been approached by many contractors seeking to do renovation work on their homes. Checks with these contractors revealed that they have resorted to such tactics because of the bad economy. The Singapore Renovation, Contractors and Materials Suppliers Association said the renovation business is undergoing tough times. Many contractors said new home owners are now holding off plans to renovate. Those who do plan to have work done are asking for lower prices. The number of customers defaulting on their payments has also risen in recent months. On top of that, the Housing and Development Board's (HDB) Build-to-Order scheme, which offers flat with standard or premium finishes, has drastically reduced the need for contractors. "Many of our members say they haven't had any jobs since the start of 2009. If the situation continues, nearly half the contractors in Singapore might close down," said Lim Ah Bah, honorary advisor of the Singapore Renovation, Contractors and Materials Suppliers Association. Under the HDB's Registered Renovation Contractors' Scheme, registered contractors are not allowed to tout or solicit for business in HDB estates. Those found guilty of such offences can be fined S$500 and given demerit points. - CNA /ls
