Hi peeps, i am getting my new house in Waterway Sundew , any soon to be neighbours around here?
Me and my hubby had gone thru the tedious course of sitting down, listening and explaining the same thing over and over again to numerous people. We had finally narrowed down to 2 companies , 1 contractor and 1 ID.... now heres the problem.... i am very poor and stingy... so naturally a contractor is good for me... however, i kinda like the idea of having an ID to do a design of my 1st home.... so yeah.... i am more towards the ID, but my hubby is more to the contractor. sooooo....... everything boils down to $$$... i had listed the 2 shortlisted price, with our requirements.... the pricing goes like this . $aaa/$bbb.... the $aaa is contractor pricing, while $bbb is ID pricing... so here we go !

total : $30375 / $37110 (but ID willing to settle at $35888)
now the difference in the pricing is $5513. however, the ID package comes with free space planning, free design to choose from, free 3D rendered drawings with 4 views of my home, plus a free 3 time changing of drawing, and also a free $500 toilet accessories voucher. I was thinking, since the ID is from a quite reputable company, his design should be worth 5k???
2nd qns, HDB says they are giving out free screeding. but i heard horrible stories about the uneven floor screed. anyone encountered this problem?
finally, if HDB gives out free screeding, then will the cost of my floor tiles cost go down? cus now is less material ma.... if lesser, lesser by how much???
