Hey lxiul,

- New Standard Flat cums with cement rendering (rough finish).

- If new 'owner' (u), wana do laminated or parquet or timber flooring, u gota submit e Cement Screed Request Form at e Branch Office of ur area.

- How efficient is e cement screed workers ngage by hdb? Gota depends liao. Might take 1 day to few wks.

- Some ppl who got more $$$ 2 spend, they may choose 2 pay their own ID's flooring contractor 2 do it.

- Some ppl who r doing cement screed flooring (no tile, Industrial look), olso have 2 ask their ID's contractor 2 do it. At an additional cost, bcos special chemical is added 2 smoothen & improve e properties of e cement.

Note : curing (dry & harden) time for e screed is different for laminated flooring & parquet.

Hi!

Do you mean the cement screed for the areas that you want to have laminate or parquet flooring?

Yes, HDB does provide that kind of service for new flats. Just visit the town council office and make an application. It may take up to 2 weeks depending on your estate schedule. Do prepare a duplicate key for them when applying.

You can save quite a bit instead of engaging your own contractor to do the screeding!

sorry for diggin this old thread. i've been reading that screeding is not necessary for tiling but my contractor is saying our floor level is too low and needs to be raised. so i must get hdb to do the screeding? will they do for whole house? or just the rooms?

for everyone's reference...

they only do cement screeding if you are doing laminations. for tiles, it is provided for by the contractor...

my cement screeding of 3 bedrooms took 1-1.5 days and is free of charge
