  1. hi jass

    can i ask about ur experience with three e? your PM doesnt seem to be working

  2. depending on how deep u wanna go it can be a complicated affair to compare panels. Never forget TCO is a function of panel efficiency over time as well, this is where things get complicated.
  3. sorry i wasnt clear, i meant inclusive of the construction of all the duct...
  4. thanks guys for all the great sharing. as i prefer to have maximum opening, we have decided to go for a double later sliding gate. i'm actually surprise that object sensors are not included by default considering is 2022 for sure i need the side gate integrated into the main gate as mine is an inter-terrace and wont have enough space for dedicated side gate. will take note of how the wiring runs, i initially assumed this was easy-peasy to have remote lock/unlock. my plan was to have keypad at one of the sidewall.
  5. @snoozeewhat were the considerations that led you to actually prefer sliding over swing? learnt something new, didnt know that swing you need to swing inwards... but honestly, i have never seen anyone implemented it this way.
  6. i'm not familiar with the topic, but one thing i can attest to is completion timeframe challenge. you must bug, hound, track and spend time to monitor closely. i feel in times like this, the loudest home owner gets the most attention. before you sign, just make it clear to the contractor that you are going to be a PITA and if he cannot tahan u hounding him, he better not take your business, set the correction expectation and make him come out with a detailed workplan down to day first before you even sign anything.
  7. quick update... Piling has completed... estimated was 14m but actual did about 23m, not sure why the variance is so great, but anyway LL also, it is what it is, not something you can nego. Pro tip: dont be swayed by quotes that offer you low cost in vibration monitoring, ecc, setting out etc as these are ONE time cost. focus on the piling per meter run cost, cause this is one variable that has a multiplier effect! Eg: my extra depth per pile is now ~9m, i have total 58 piles, each pile is $78/m run, total is ~ SGD40K b4 GST! I'm not saying this will happen, but imagine your PE has kickback from a specific piling contractor, he and the piling contractor can easily work together to under quote your initial pile depth. The initially TCO can still look low and they make back from the extra pile depth easily, so when you ask for quotes for comparison, dont just look at the final estimated cost from the various vendors but also the per meter run cost cause this will come back and bite.
  8. @Kellhoundthis is exactly what i am going to do as well, LPG at the yard area, main cooking source still the induction.
  9. sharing my findings here... so city gas reached out to power gas (sibei confusing) and it turns our that the nearest gas pipe is 460m away from my unit. the cost to lay the pipes is 227K before GST... yes its not a typo... its $227,000 induction cooker/lpg gas it is
  10. I did that... and now city say its dependent if there is gas man along the road. Need to check with power Gas
  11. Anyone knows if my house can have direct city gas pipe or require lpg tank? How to check
  12. guys, i would like some feedback of solar panels on RC roof. so we know RC roof is susceptible to roof leaks? and probably waterproofing lifespan is max 10 years? with solar panels installed, it would mean that re-waterproofing is to be done, the panels have to be removed and taken down again. thoughts around this laborious process?
  13. Yeah... the precon was very extensive.... many trees were killed in the process... and much ink wasted!
  14. ok, looks like this is part and parcel of the rebuild process then... only one side is tarped, strange they didnt tarp the other side. guess its not helping when its raining cats and dogs lately.
  15. guys, my unit has been demolished and water is now leaking into my neighbor's living room during these 2 days of crazy downpour. I think contractor might have damaged some of the bricks. Are these hiccups considered "normal"/expected or should i give a gentle nudge to my builder to take more care?
  16. has anyone bought from xtwostore before? Even if i include tax/forwarder, the price are incredibly cheap.
  17. Friends, anyone has any recommendation on what material and who to contact when it comes to creating a wooden panel effect on roof eaves and car porch roof? Prefer not to be real wood as it will be subjected to elements. My builder as quoted me Aluminum wood looking ones but the cost is astronomical and i would argue even higher than real wood itself. the best offering that looks most realistic, low cost and light is actually this from a MY company: https://mazeconcept.com.my/car-porch/ but i cant seem to find an equivalent in SG
  18. Yes, ST-02 feeds paid. yes, neighbor notification and covid restart plan in progress as well... hmm seems like the RTO is already covered in my building cost
