Thanks alot for the info u been reali helpful to tell me all this wonder if I can cope if I enage a contracter as hubby will be busy with work so he doesnt reali have the time to corodinate all this . Also usually if we enage ID they will intro u which shop to go for all the sink and basin and toliet bowl lighting those kind of things they will tell u where to go right just incase after we buy cannot fit into or got any problem the ID can get them to change if we buy ourself got any problem will contracter help me. Sorry so many que. Thanks once again

Hehe you like me like that keep saying sorry de haha. Dun need to feel sorry or paiseh lah. We are a bunch of friendly peeps over here and are more than willing to help out by sharing our experiences. Even if there is something which one of us don't know, others will help answer too.

Feel free to approach your contractor or ID if you have any question regarding placement of lightings, they are engaged by you and have enough experience to assist in planning out the lighting points. Another person who is ideal is the place where you buy your lights from, those lighting specialty shops. Just bring your floorplan along, and if you have pictures of your pre-renovated house, you can bring them along too. It will help a lot in accessing whether the lights are sufficient to brighten up the place.

Hmm for carpentry I asked Patrick (my contractor) to do up my kitchen cabinet, altar, wall-shelf (vanity table) and kitchen decor boxes. The rest I get from IKEA. As for tiles I retile both my toilets (MBR and common toilet) and kitchen. Study room and MBR I use floor laminates. Rest of the house floor tiles I keep.

Yep, usually IDs and some contractors will bring their clients to shops to get fixtures and stuff. You can, however choose to get the fixtures from the shops you like, need not neccessary get from the shops they recommend. Usually prior to purchase it will be good to take a look at your pre-renovated place, take a ruler and start measuring. Ask your contractor or ID what is the maximum allowed space for a fixture to be placed at a location, for example: bathtubs come in 1500mm standard length, a toilet with a 1.6m width might not be able to fit it in due to the decreased width after the wall tiles set in. Your contractor will be able to advise you on all these. Another good thing to do is to ask the shop which you buy the fittings/fixtures from whether they will accept returned goods in exchange for another one with a different size. I believe that quite a number of shops do practice this.

As for coordinating of deliveries, you can discuss with your ID/contractor to see whether he can help you while you are away from the renovated place. If not it will be good to take 1day off, and arrange all deliveries to come on that day. Usually it will be better if the owner is there lah imo, as should there be any problems you can ask them right away and usually they will provide a solution there and then. Really help to keep the renovation on schedule and lessen the amount of reworks and ill-feelings.
