Hi fellow members, Please help! Currently facing a situation doing my renovation, a mild steel glass frame has installed as a divider between our kitchen and dining area. We wanted it thin, thats why chosen mild steel. We find that the workmanship is not justifiable. I just not sure if we are being difficult or unreasonable. As we were told by our ID apparently there are limitations to the installation of the mild steel, since each of the frame/glass are custom-made therefore variations are inevitable. We are facing issues with the presentation of the glass work, there are smudges of the silicon all over, stained glass, and silicon is not able to even out, jagged edges (cos contractor cut the excess silicon). I've uploaded an image, you may take a look. ID told has they could try to clean it up, but it will still be facing such issues unless we install u-channel which defeats the purpose that we wanted it thin. Would really love to hear from your views and advice. Thank you!

Hi all , We're looking for a reliable and reasonable HDB licensed contractor or ID for our 3 bedroom unit that is expecting to be ready in the 4Q this year. We are hoping to source for helper and could kick start the reno as soon as we get the keys. For Home Owners, you could share with us your quotations with any good contractor and/or ID that you have encountered? As we have absolutely no idea what is the basic package like for an EC. For Contractors and IDs, could you send us your quotation along with personal portfolio based on these rough ideas that we hope to see: Kitchen Hack wall to create an open concept kitchen, with installation of glass separator - this probably need to hack existing cabinets and floor tiles as well. Additional installation of cabinets Island top, if space allows There is a WC is the kitchen, which we wish to cover it up. This would require hacking of wall and tiles. Living room Simple 1-tier console Possibly a false wall to cover wires, open to suggestions Balcony Wood decking Balcony doors Invisible grill, or others recommendation that is allowed by management Serving Room Simple shelving with 3-4 planks of wood Study Room Full length book shelf with ladder Balcony doors Entire Unit Electrical Works and piping? Painting Sound-proof curtains for living room and rooms Lighting Likewise we do have budget constraints. We're a genuine couple, hopefully to engage genuine people to work with too! Thank you =)
