Can share details of your contractor?

very good advise as always and definitely agree One thing to note though, according to BCA, creating a 1meter railing at the open balcony does not require any submission and is allowed. And also i heard that they can use a T bar to hold and extend the car porch, so not sure if its still like demolish, piling, reconstruct a whole porch (thus $300PSF). and without roof and wall around it, i would reckon it should not be 300psf as well compared to building a room or extension I will check out with some builders and if there are any updates, i will share the same

Dear snoozee Wow many thanks, this puts things in perspective. Once again much appreciated your expert advice as always

Does anyone have an example of an actual cost of replacing/moving the car porch? We are also looking into this... current car porch covers half the front (only driveway, typical inter-terrace). and we are thinking of moving the pillar to the far side and extend the car porch to cover the full front and then use the top as walk out balcony I do understand that different materials, different structure may cost differently but after reading the posts, some seem to indicate that it is very expensive. However, what is the indication of expensive? 10-20-30k? 50-80k? > 100k? Anyone who has done it before can share what you did and the cost you paid? This will help myself and perhaps TS also to have a rough number to know if its something to even proceed to think further.. TIA

Can share contractor details?

Am also looking for reliable builders for advise

Thanks snoozee! You are really helpful around here

Hi thanks! When did you rebuild your house? How's the outcome? Is the builder good and if so don't mind recommending the contract?

Hi Would like to find out if anyone knows the rough cost to tear down and rebuild the perimeter wall of a corner terrace? Would like a higher more blocked off type like the modern houses. And if u have any direct contractors who are good, appreciate if u can recommended them to me TiA
