Hello all, I am looking to do a small kitchen renovation project and I wanted to know which shops can I go to educate myself on the types of materials available (quartz vs granite vs marble etc) in the singapore market and their prices. I have read quite a bit online but I would like to see the physical looks of these materials and varioud popular designs as well as their prices. Any honest shops I can visit ? Thanks in advance S

Can you PM the contractor details please ?

Hello all, I am looking to get a simple awning installed in our balcony. I understand there are a number of types available but if I am looking for something simple (aka value for money), what type of awning should I go for ? Also, please share/PM any relevant contacts for this purpose. Many thanks in advance! S

All, I have reno strating in 2 weeks time and on my recent work trip to India, I managed to pick up 2 Ceiling Fans, which I found to be very nice looking and appropriate size for my living and dining areas. The voltage range is the same as Singapore and the fans can be seen at the link below: http://www.amazon.in/Luminous-Platina-1200mm-78-Watt-Ceiling/dp/B00O2QYXCO/ref=sr_1_83?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1440228962&sr=1-83&keywords=ceiling+fan The Fans do not come with a remote but I wish to have speed control functionality. - What are my options here ? Would connecting them to normal dimmer switch be enough or do I need a regulator ? - Would dimmer switch cause any noise ? - If regulator, can I buy a suitable regulator locally ? If yes, kindly recommend some please. - Wiring wise, I am converting an existing lighting point to a celing fan point. So if using a regulator, does it require any additional wiring because of the regulator ? One ID has told me that but I don't quite trust that guy in general. Many thanks in advance. Regards, S

Hi, could you PM me a brief description of how you structured this please (order of running the cable, type of cable, type of plug etc.). Looking to do the same.

Did you plan the network cabling yourself ? Are you getting the cables hidden in your walls or running them through a surface casing ? Also, please share the link for the LED lights. Thanks.

PM me too please.
