  1. I'm newbie here. But just drop by to check up on this firm Modern Concept, based in Tanjong Katong complex. Heard their pricing is rather cheap. Is it any good?
  2. We are getting the keys to our new 4-room DBSS soon. We have quotes from several IDs through Renotalk. Spoke to them and finally decided on one. They quoted us about S$21K for false ceiling works, curtain pelmets, TV feature wall & console, shoes cabinet, a mirrored dining wall, wall papers, painting and the general cleaning and haulage fees. Is S$21K for these a reasonable rate for a 4-room DBSS? Many thanks in advance for any constructive feedback.
  3. Looking for help. We are unhappy with ID. After signing contract never gave design. Only gave one pathetic design for masterbed wardrobe 3 weeks after signing contract. We finally designed our wardrobes ourselves. Gave ID our design. She input in autocad and print out. At-least hope price is not too bad. ID quote us 1) For masterbed wardrobe 2300 $ for 8 feet using lamitak, with 2 sliding door, and one casement door. 2) For one bedroom, 1750 $ for 7 feet using lamitak but only casement doors (no sliding door). 3) For another bedroom, 2100 $ for 7 feet using lamitak, only casement door. So for casement door wardrobe price is 250 $ per foot for one bedroom and 300 $ per for another bedroom For sliding door wardrobe price is 341.6 $ per foot. We understand IDs take 25% to 30% of price quoted. Because they give design service. But in this case we have to design ourselves. Anybody sign reno package recently? How much they quote for custom build wardrobe using laminate for sliding door and casement door? Is the price right? Thanks.
  4. Hi folks, anyone knows where is a good place to acquire granite stone titles, both regular oblong and irregular kinds as picture? Some samples as follows. Thanks for a heads-up.
  5. I had several requests to see the work done by my ID. So I decided to upload it since I'm free. I sourced for several IDs to extend my kitchen as I felt that my existing kitchen had not enough space to do things and the cabinets were too high for me. Also, I wanted to make a 3-in-1 tv console, book shelf and shoe rack and was not sure how to go about designing it. It was not easy as most IDs wanted to charge me 7-8k to do my kitchen and a tv console with shelving and wanted me to pay first before coming up with any ideas. Eventually, I went with the ID who could meet my budget and even provided me some free 3D drawings to see what it would look like. This was the quotation. Description A Kitchen & Living Room 1 Design & Fabricate 4ft (w) bottom kitchen cabinet with ABS trimming and laminated finish 480 2 Design & Fabricate 7ft (w) top kitchen cabinet with ABS trimming and laminated finish 840 3 Addition of 4ft (w) of Black Galaxy Granite top with extended downturn and backsplash 480 4 Design & Fabricate 10ft (w) of bottom kitchen cabinet insert into existing configuration, with ABS trimming and laminated finish 1200 5 Hacking of existing kitchen cabinets 400 6 Mortar bed extension of 4 feet 240 7 6 ft (w) x 6ft (h) TV console and shoe rack 1980 8 Supply & Install 3 ft shelving 150 Discount (393) SGD 5,377
  6. My wife and I were referred to DC Carpentry by my sister who engaged the renovation film for renovation work. Eventually, we met up with Peter Chan, the manager/designer on 23 Sep 2014 to discuss about the renovation quotation. Our initial impression of Peter Chan was quite pleasant as he managed to guide us through the renovation discussion. We thought we have found the right person to engage for our renovation. However, this was exactly the opposite. About one week after our first discussion (1 Oct 2014), we approached Peter Chan via whatsapp to check if our quotation was ready. He did not reply, neither did he call us back. When my wife tried to call him, he answered the call in a positive tone at the beginning. But once he realized we were asking him for the quotation, he immediately told my wife he was very busy and then hung up the call before we could speak further. After which, we received a whatsapp message from him, asking us not to call him. From then on, there was no more messages from him, even until now. My sister who engaged him for renovation work a month ago, did tried to speak to him several times regarding our quotation follow up. But again, no follow up from Peter Chan, not even a courtesy call or message. It seems like he has no intention to liaise with us at all. Probably he has been very busy but I feel that he could have let us know, or sent someone else to follow up with us if he was really that busy. But instead, he chose to ignore us. There was not even a single message from him at all. Anyway I do not feel that he is really that busy because I saw him sharing some random news feed on the DC Carpentry FB wall that has nothing much to do with his renovation work. I tried to post on the DC Carpentry FB wall more than a week ago, asking them about my quotation follow up, hoping that they will reply. Again, no reply from him of anyone else. Instead, my post was removed by them. When I attempted to post the same enquiry on their wall the 2nd time, my post was removed again and this time, I was BLOCKED from posting on their FB wall. I realized only positive comments are found on their FB wall. The negative ones were removed. And I am not the only one experiencing this issue, which I found it really dishonest and deceiving. Anyway, I am posting this just to share my negative experience with people who might be thinking of engaging DC Carpentry for renovation work. Thankfully that I did not engage them. You might wish to think twice before engaging a renovation film because if the pre-sales service is bad, your renovation could end up as bad.

  9. Hello fellow Renotalkers, I'm new here though my husband already is a regular. I created a blog to document the joy and experience of building our home with my hubby but silly me, I had meant to place the content in T-blog but confused with the main blog platform also on Renotalk. Here are my first two posts. BLOG - CHAPTER 1: ID Search Months ahead of our key collection, we were contemplating whether to engage an ID or not. My hubby was very excited as he had been looking forward to start on our renovation project and he was very confident of doing up the 3D-drawings himself. I must say, he did some pretty decent perspectives for the home. But we still went ahead to get some quotes from ID first… ​Click to continue --------------------- BLOG - CHAPTER 2: Our 4RM BTO Space STEP 2: Space Evaluation (4RM BTO) Here's an overview of how our bare 4-rm BTO space looks like LIVING/DINING AREA We opted out of the floor tiles (living/dining/bedroom only) and doors option in order to get alternatives that suit our liking. View from our main door. ….. Click to continue Chapter 2 -------------------------- Anyone here who might be find this layout familiar? Guess most flats are laid out similarly these days. Moving forward, I will continue with my updates from here onwards.
  10. Hi I have a 5 room hdb resale flat with sqm 130 I need to 1. paint the whole house 2. change the door handles 3. change the toilet doors. Any quotations?
  11. Hey everybody! After reading many of the forums here on Renotalk, I'm extremely pleased to say that it is finally my turn to do my renovation. My flat: Buangkok Vale @ Buangkok Green Size: 4 room A short story on my flat: Actually keys to the flat were given out in March 2013, but I had just then filed for a divorce with my ex-husband. Finally obtaining my legal documents from the Courts in June, I made an appeal to HDB to retain the flat with my name and my son's name, and after 1 year of struggling with non-responses from HDB, i have just only collected my keys to the flat in early August. After doing the necessary rites and etc, here are some pics of my flat! (1 year worth of dust on the floor has already been swept and mopped!) The main hall (ignore unused trash bag) The view from the window: Collage of the rooms and corridor: And one last one of my cheeky happy boy... More to come on my ID choice next post!
  12. Hi guys, just wanted to share my experience with you all and possibly get some advice. I got the keys to my resale HDB flat in May this year. After which, I started looking for an electrician. I checked quotes online as well as had a couple of electricians recommended by friends. I met up with one guy upon my friend's recommendation. He came down on a Saturday and gave me a rather reasonable quote. He also mentioned that the trunking cost will be minimal and will be added in after the work is done because he can't gauge how much he will need to use. So, I asked him to please work with my contractor on the schedule. She feedback to me that he was very uncooperative. Didn't keep to his schedule, turned up as and when he felt like it. I am a single, working woman so I could only head down on weekdays after work and on weekends to check the progress. My contractor also kept me in the loop through the phone. The renovations commenced end on the second week of June. It was scheduled to end on 18 July, I was to move in on 19 July. The weekend before it was scheduled to end, I checked with my electrician on the status and requested that he complete everything by 15 July. He told me it was not gonna be a problem. The contractor handed over the house to me on 18 July in the evening. I had gone down for a final look and realised that one of the twin sockets was incomplete. Some others were crooked and not aligned. So then I contacted the electrician and asked him when he would be completing everything, he said he will arrange again but he cannot do weekends. He can only do on weekdays between 9am to 5pm. So that meant I had to take a day off work to see that everything is completed, which is unfair to me. Over the next couple of weeks, I tried to arrange for a time. There was one weekday that my friend was gonna be around so I dropped him that he could come on a Friday, so just let me know if he can make it. I dropped him that message on a Tuesday. There was no sight, no sound. Then 2 weeks later, he emailed me and told me that I have overlooked payment, I replied him that it was not an oversight but that the work has not been completed. Subsequently, we kept missing each other's calls. When I finally did manage to speak to him, he started shouting at me and I couldn't get a word in so I passed the phone to my friend who was with me at the time. I did tell him that he can even come and fix in the evenings after 6pm. His response was "who works at that time?". He was adamant about not being able to work on weekends. In the first place, before I agreed to engage him, it should have been made clear to me that he cannot work at certain times. Its absurd because the first time we met was on a Saturday. When my friend was talking to him, he was shouting at her too and saying that he does not work on weekends. She did offer to pay half of cost for the incomplete and crooked ones, he told her to go and give the money to God. After that very unpleasant situation, I spoke to the friend who had recommended him and she also saw the incomplete and crooked work done. She said that he was actually recommended by her colleague. So she spoke to her colleague who said that she would have a word with him but after that, nothing. This happened on 18 Aug. 2 days ago, he emailed me and asked me to settle everything by this week. He is denying everything mentioned before and is accusing me of shouting at him instead. This guy is so very dishonest and has a terrible attitude. In his quotation and invoice, it is stated that a deposit is required upfront, which has been paid. The remaining amount is to be paid upon completion. However, because it was not complete and some of the crooked ones were not rectified, I feel that its unfair for him to demand full payment. Now, he is saying that I am the one who shouted at him and I am the one who is inflexible with the timing. Can anyone advise me how I should go about dealing with this?
