My references for estimated light Wattage. I plan to use LED lightings for the whole house, hence as a layman, better go read what is the differences between normal bulb and LED lights. - http://www.charlstonlights.com/led-light-requirement-calculator - http://www.hoveyelectric.com/hovey-electric-power-blog/bid/55242/How-To-Calculate-Watts-For-Analyzing-Energy-Efficiency-Projects Based on above and other websites, i estimate that i need - at least 24W for bedrooms/kitchen (~3.5m x ~ 3.5m), - at least 18W for storeroom/bathroom - at least 12W for all the downlights in the living room. - Plus need some small lights like 6W for some corners. The downlights should not be placed in corners so that you don't waste the area that the lights can cover. Spacing between each downlight best to be between 1m and 1.5m. Hence i need like 10 x 12W downlight at the side and 2 x 18W ceiling lights in the middle for a 8m x 3m living room. Plan to be slightly brighter than necessary and then group the lights to a combination of switches to control where i need the lights. Originally wanted to have daylight white, warm white and cool white lights. Heard that there are people who encounter the downlight not in sync after sometimes, need to manually reset the lights to make them in sync again. Decided against it for practical reasons. only the middle lights are either 2 tone or 3 tones. the side lights just daylight white will do.

Dear all, after asking many questions in this forum, among friends and etc, i have started my renovation. Thought i can give back a little with my sharing. This also serve as a dairy of some sort. Do keep me some feedback if there are some incorrectness or other good suggestions that i can improve on as my renovation is still on-going.

On the quotation that i got from 3D, the ACRA is not the same as in the newspapers. 3D innovations design pte ltd - 201009892D Checked with Jayden, he says they just throw a promotion yesterday on facebook. Maybe this is not the same as 3D innovative?

Dear all, i saw the warning label in all Panasonic fridge that says something like "condensation might occur when high humidity or cold weather". Checked on Hitachi, LG, Samsung, Electrolux and etc, didn't see the warning sign too. Not much discussion with Uncle Google too. Is this something i need to worry about? Anyone using below models can advise too? Kum Xia! Pricing wise looks like very close. Panasonic NR-BX468 Stainless steel 3 tick Hitachi R-W480P2MS White 2 tick Sorry Mods - Can help me shift to the correct place? Realised i started this at the wrong place.

HI Sunnyshannie, How's your rennovation?

@Summer Quah Has the issue been resolved yet? Just saw your edit.

Thanks Bruce.

Thanks Bruce. Got some quotes, hopefully can get some advises from the seasoned forumers. Posting here because i started a thread but till now not approved yet. Suspect its because i'm still newbie. Essentially, what is the budget range should i be looking at with below things to be done? Is $50k before wiring stuff reasonable? Don't want to become a carrot. The new place is roughly 100sqm (living area 40sqm, bedrooms 13sqm each, toilet 9sqm, kitchen 13sqm), based on the floor plan. - Hacking of floors, skirtings and wall tiles in the kitchen (include the cabinets and basin), toilet (include the basin and toilet bowl), whole living room. - Hacking of raised platform and built-in wardrobe in master bedroom. - Hacking of false ceiling in living room - Removal of existing laminate and skirtings in the bedrooms - lay vinyl in 3 bedrooms - screed + lay 600mmx600mm homo tiles in living area ($3/sqft is ok right?) - waterproofing + screed + lay 600mmx300mm homo tiles in kitchen and toilets - lay wall tiles for kitchen and toilet exposed wall ($2.50/sqft is ok right?) - make cabinet base with side tiling - make shower kerb x 2 - install toilet bowl, basin, tap, toilet accessories - install kitchen sink and tap - replace all the water pipings - install storage heater for 2 bathrooms - lighting plan for whole house.

@BruceLee: Where you get the fan from? Is it advisable to get from across the border? TIA.

Hi all, Anyone has enagaged UD for renovation work recently? How is their workmanship and schedule control?

Hi all, Any seniors here engaged Jayden from 3D before? How's the work progress and workmanship and the pricing? He seems very busy though. Met him twice, both time also he's late one. First time, his car battery flat because he forgot to switch off the lights, 2nd time, don't know where he went.

@mod: is there something i need to do to get the post approved? Please guide me. Thanks.

Looking forward to get my keys soon. Any reliable contractors who has good workmanship to recommend? If possible, got link to the finished renovation will be good. I will probably jot down my journey in this thread. I have tried requesting through renotalk function but mostly are the non-HDB registered companies. Thanks in advance..
