i did ping nparks on this... and it seems like hor, if the tree was planted by the previous owner, and you as the new owner dont like it, i think you can work out a tree replacement with them based on the approved list of of tree from Nparks and they will bear the cost of it. at least this is the initial impression i am getting

yes bro, hence, trying to see if there are alternatives that i can look for

Maincon open for me too seek alternatives. Cause prices went up a lot... charges are $75 per m run now... Peck bros is what my maincon suggested

If anyone has good piling contractors to recommend, pls send it my way... tks!

hi all, had a good experience with both my Soil Test vendor (Geospecs) and Surveyor (Lee Boon Haw). Having experience them, i have the confidence to strongly recommend.

Lol... guys, i'm totally not aware of this! help me understand if i'm reading this correctly, as a home owner, if i want to visit my own work site, i will need to be swabbed every 2 weeks? what if i visit the site only when the workers are gone in the evening?

in case anyone is keen on the reply from URA to submit lodgment for Lift protrusion, here you go (maciam got say like never say): Generally, we are prepared to consider lift overrun which protrudes slightly beyond the envelope control (i.e. 0.5m as indicated in the landed housing e-advisor). However, this is subject to evaluation based on the specific design of the proposal on a case by case basis. As a general guide, the lift protrusion should be limited to the lift shaft only and should not be overly extensive overall. As long as the proposal complies with the lodgment criteria and the prevailing development control (as indicated in our handbook and e-advisor), the works can be submitted as a lodgement application. on a separate note, my Prelim Soil test just came back - they terminated boring at ~27m as they have hit STP 100 blows @ 210mm at about 24m (Kallang Formation on top and Old Alluvium at the bottom) curious if anyone know if this considered deep or still ok? with such results, what does it typically mean to piling depth and estimated rough order of magnitude costing for the piling efforts?

ya my archi is also against it.

hi all, my architect was hoping to submit a Lodgement for my unit as it will be cheaper and faster. however, will require an additional lift protrusion to cater for the lift Overrun since our attic floor is not that high... https://www.ura.gov.sg/Corporate/Property/Residential/Renovating-private-residential-property/landed-housing-e-advisor/terrace-houses/interior3/LiftShaft3 is anyone familiar if we can still perform a lodgment?

ok bro, will look into 3P 100A

hoping for minimally 32A 3 phase so i can hit 21KW.. but even at this rate, doesnt seem to be fast enough to be classified as "fast charging"

hi guys, is anyone familiar with getting the house future ready for "EV"? keen to know if there is a way for me to install those "Fast Charge" system rather than standard charging speed? what do i need to design for to cater for fast charge?

tks for the advice @snoozee i can sense my architect it trying to talk me out of it as he feels the compression in floor level is not worth the extra space - he seems to value this a lot, which i kinda tend to agree

spot on, this is exactly the same advice/concern my architect provided. fortunately, i have a very patient architect.

yes, my mezzanine floor will be entirely glassed up, so i shouldnt have a claustrophobic feeling and it will look down to the dbl vol living rm.

i will pm u the floor plan

here is what i am left with: Attic 3m L2M 2.7m L2 2.7m Living room 3.1m you are right, esp with false ceiling, wall fan etc, will be low, fairly similar to a HDB setup i suppose?

you indeed have an excellent eye for detail, yes, as my mezzanine will only be at the front half, the room behind will be massive (which calls for an idea of a small loft for the room at the back). we prefer not to add steps to enter the balcony. half of my lviing room is already dbl volume, its just the "other side" that will be compressed. 3.1m should be floor to ceiling.

i was actually thinking of inserting a mezzanine level between level 2 and attic

hi guys, was wondering if anyone has considered or implemented a mezzanine floor before? it will compress the height of the rooms a fair bit which i think we can still accept (living room down to 3.1m) but our only concern is car porch will be dropped to 3.1m as well which will inhibit light and lack of spaciousness feel. any thoughts?

Update 2 I have just engaged ID. Went for Museworks. Somehow wife and I are attracted to his works. Thus far a very good experience with Shawn (owner of Muse). His ideas are fantastic and very practical.

Yes... most are not that willing to provide floor plan design in great details during presales stage. High level still ok. Three E builder was willing to, which i though was comforting. 3d nobody will do it till you sign i suppose. My builder did provide a fairly detailed timeline. Let me share. Build is about 10 to 12 months. But dun forget to add on all the paperwork.

Thanks for your advice @snoozee

Tks bro... builder says now SOP os cat7...wahaha Oh yes... powerpoints are always a scarce... thought of having one below the dinning table but heard it wont pass TOP. Yes. Car charging a must, was recommended to go wif three phase 100A. Cant see the ROI on solar lei... and heard solar also need regular cleaning?
