eddieadc 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) My HDB 4rm in Bishan is currently on-going renovation by contractors. The very same group of contractors (hacking, tiling, grills/windows, plumber, electrical works, carpentry) that goes from renovation to renovation...they will coordinate the tasks among themselves...no need to worry and most importantly very value for money... hehehe Agree with fellow forummers, the quotation above is typically ID/designer quotation (for every item ID will mark up by a few dollars). ID/designer will need to earn a few hundred each for electrical, plumbing, painting, hacking, haulage, tiling, carpentry, false ceiling, air-cond, erecting a new wall... Do note for some IDs, though more expensive, the workmanship is still pretty bad especially for routing of the trunking. Please do not introduce a trunking in the ceiling that seems to cut your bed into half if you believe in feng shui. My electrician just removed all the old wiring today...and we have discussed specifically how the PVC trunking is to be routed throughout the whole house as well as the exact switch/socket location. We will be using designer switches. For electrical works, I would strongly suggest that you demand for electrical testing ($200 nett) if you rewire the whole house. ==> Why? Your electrician will be slapped with demerit points if the electrical testing fails ==> Required to safeguard your interests as well Edited November 11, 2008 by eddieadc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
