not really cheap.i went to enquire, i need to pay 2100+ upfront for the maid's loan to the agency, and another amount for the agent's fee. + + other things.. can't rem... I only went there cos' it is near our house, any problem, can go over, saw that it has CASE trust.. don't really trust those katong or lucky plaza agents... do you have any recommendation?

I am engaging a maid for my mother. going to get one from nation. Finger crossed for a good maid. S_pear, you are getting a part time for your baby?

hey there, anyone bought aircon already? any idea how much is the market price of the system 2 for easy clean Mitsubishi Electric?

Hi Ikoice, I am hacking an opening between MBR and the adj room to make a walk in warbrobe.

how does this work? quote your big name?

house warming u mean? I want to join

very informative. Thanks : )

SO, for Main Door, confirm no stopper, so it is not a defect. Hahaha.. sekali, I sua ku, I report as a defect when it does not come with it. how come for haulage fees...some cost $450, some $700, some $800, some $900 some up to $1100? is it depending on the wetworks or hacking you do? do we do to the main contractor by HDB for the haulage fee?

huh? I collected my keys, so far only saw a scratched tile, can u PM me what are the defects you find? I better go double check again.. what do you mean by defect sockets? by the way, can i ask all of u, is there a stopper at the main door? cos I don't have. strange, all the bedrooms have a stopper though.. let me know...

a noob question: 1)can we engage an ID if their company is not named under the HDB web of the Listing of Registered Renovation Contractors? 2) is the haulage fee fixed for all blk 79?

okie, glad to hear that. I was so tempted by offers every now and then when I see adverts that offer such... but I havent sign with any...

thanks.. I wonder whether they will just do the 12888, if I do nt do any carpentary. I am so tired actually. Been to expo, been to ID firms near our place, been to relative's recommendation... the more I visit, the more confused I am. is there any chance where contractor try to act as a designer? Tsk. The problem I am facing now is .... I have quotations from as low as 19k up to 30k... rather similar requirement...just perhaps maybe the diff. materials the ID use...I also dont know. but as you know, no one will do any concrete drawings when you haven't sign the dotted line. it is like I have to sign based on good gut feel which I haven't develop with any... the most expensive doesn't even come with any aircon or whatsoever.. headache

hi, just want to check with the rest of you here, what do u think of the renovation package for 4 rm at $12888 which comes with sys 3 aircon, hoob and hob, kitchen sink and kitchen solid top? anyone here signed up with something similar to these? any 'experience'?

any hidden costs?

did you sign with the firm for the package which comes with lotsa free gifts? any hidden costs upon signing?

i still don't understand why you pay up to 4k?

ohh... u all going to finish renovating soon? : )

company name?

so better pray that the reno don't have unnecessary delay, if not will have to pay for both houses.....

hi I am not from SERS. I am from BE. Things are progessing quite slowing on myside. Haven't decide ID. so I think it will take long time before I start reno. sigh.

I collected the keys already. Sunday I am going to open the door to check for defects. Where are you all meeting? I want to ask, is city gas good? another thing, when you buy the fire insurance, did the lady ask you to buy an optional 5 year insurance against the interior reno? I signed for the 5 yr, and not sure if it is really good. it cost $70 a yr, i paid by credit card $300+ ( according to the lady sign 5 yr can get discounted premium).... everything happened so fast, I forgot to ask her how much is the payout if anything happens.... I started the insurance in Mar 1st next yr cos i havent decide on an ID, but is it true that we have to renovate (4 months time allowance) once er rece the keys? Any advice? very much appreciated.

HI Ms White I'm just opening the door for the "pandang" ceremony and for the id to take measurements is this considered "Dong Tu"?

I am collecting my keys in the afternoon. but not opening until sunday. heard from an elder that sunday is chu 18, a better date to open than on Sat.

i am collecting my keys tmr, anything to look out for? heard from some forumers that I have to sign a lot of forms, buy fire insurance and what else?
