Haulage 450 seem reasonable. But u need to check if one trip is not enough, who should bear the rest?
-
Couldn't comment much cos u need to provide measurement and price per unit. Eg how long is your kitchen? Top and bottom? How much per foot run? For 10ft kitchen cabinet, price can range from 1900 to 3800 base on 190 pfr and 380 pfr.

Market rate is something like this: hacking : $1.5 psf tiling: $3 psf For your reference.

Ivy u r sharp. Fu Hua ID registered only yesterday. -
Living and dinning requires applying of water proofing membrane? Why? Besides, your tiling for 503 sf at 4.1k and max 2.8 psf tile sounds steep. 600 x 600 = 2sf = 2x2.8 = $5.6 per piece Have you been to see or select tile? Have you consider u might select tile priced higher/lower than what has been quoted to u? 2.8 psf is consider in the low range.

My is also top floor. HDB said no, it depends on how much u trust your agent, just give HDB a call to clarify. Well u can always do it illegally as long as nothing happened. That was what proposed by my contractor but i decided not to. -

Anything void cannot be touch. No extension whatever is allowed, it is stated in the HDB website. -

Can Own A Second New Hdb Flat?
chronograph replied to eipsy's topic in HDB New/Resale Flats, Executive Condominiums
you can but have to pay levy for the 1st new hdb flat u sold. 5 rm is 45k(cash). So think twice. -
Did u sign any commission letter with your agent? GST applies and if u r in very good term with your agent normal they can absorb on good will. Your agent should have submitted your application and gotten 1st app date, depends on the traffic, waiting time can be 2 to 3 months. As for moving in early, it all depends on the seller, the house is only yours after the completion of sales at the 2nd appt.

You people are all so nice, if talking can work, TS won't be starting this. He is a ticking time bomb. You won't know one day Ah long will come paint your door with O$P$. My way, very simple. One fine day, pack all his stuffs and discard it outside, change lock and whatever so that he doesn't have access to the house. You can forget about the rent he owed, if he has the slightest intention to pay up he, u won't be chasing after him. Make a police report to force him to change address on his IC. You friend has simply no respect for u and husband, so he doesn't deserved any in return.

Is that your only quotation? Can't comment much as I did my reno a year ago and chances are pricing could have been changed. So it is better u get more quotations and compare. I believe u should have many other quotation to compare prices with. Just one comment, from your quote i guessed that u r keeping the kitchen cabinet structure and changing the door and some modifications. But have you consider redoing everything, tearing down and redesign the kitchen cabinet to your taste/liking. Your total for kitchen store room item 1 to 6 is already 2.2k. Why not get a new one, pfr is about 190 to 260 top and bottom, 10 ft give 1.9k to 2.6k, kitchen top about 700 for 10ft. So taking 1.9k + 700 = 2.6k for a new one compare to 2.2k old and modified. Please check with your contractors the price for cabinet.

Tiles..laminates..hack..overlay?help!
chronograph replied to Sue79's topic in Ceiling, Walls and Flooring Works
Yes, you should hack and replace with new ones. Your 5 rms will probably cost your about 2k to 2.5k hacking fee. But this $$ cannot save have to spend. -
Help! Seller Backing Out On Hand Over Date
chronograph replied to Jason Poh's topic in Housing Rules, Policies and Procedures
Better called HDB to reschedule the appointment. At the same time, ask your agent to negotiate for some extension or look for temporary housing. Blame him for not anticipating this, should have gotten the black and white before signing OTP. -

Aiya, forget about this unit. Sound to me seller is testing market. On 1 and 2 can understand but on 3, that's ridiculous. But of course, willing seller willing buyer, it all depends on how much u like the house. I will not commit. -

I will be glad if they can upgrade EM. If it is going to happen HDB need to be careful on the structure of the building whether it can hold the additional weight as after all most EM have been around for more than 20 years. -

Give u a tip, use wrought iron paint to paint your stair rail. Normal paint will not last. I done up sliding door, don't like the folding one cause my experience with folding door is not good, tends to spoilt easily. -

Good buy at evaluation but ain't cheap, at least 600k. Reno is only 5 years, better keep it or minor touch up will do to your taste.
