Hi everybody,

I am new here and we will be looking at starting our renovation in March.

Now still looking for quotations and are considering engaging contractors given our tight budget.

Here are some pics of the place and floor plan.

You can try Ho Bee, Impress21, ID Note, Inzen. All of them give good pricing.

Paid 30k COV.

Liked it for the layout and close proximity to where we are currently staying, Toa Payoh.

At least the total price is slightly below $500k as compare to those 5R we viewed at Toa Payoh, Bishan and AMK.

At Blk 147.

Will be going for 1st appt this coming 28th.

Here are some pics of the existing condition

Balcony/main entrance area. We will be adding a red painted tempered glass above the tile area for the altar.

Need to hack and cement screed part of the living room area that has wall tiles.

Kitchen view

Other things we wanna do.

1. Do up both toilets and kitchen with bottom cabinets and 1 full height cabinet. India granite for kitchen top.

2. Install laminate wood flooring in MBR and BR3

3. Hack the left side of the kitchen entrance and extend the other side, idea is to block the view of the L-shape kitchen cabinet part that has the sink

4. Hack a door opening between MBR and BR3 as that will be the children room

5. Polish the marble flooring at the living room, BR2, study and store

6. Seal up the ventilation outlets above the doors

7. Change the BR doors to veneer and re-varnish the main door. Also change to wrought iron gate

8. Change rubbish chute to stainless steel

9. Shower screen in MBR toilet

10. Feature wall with side cabinet in living room

11. Divider between balcony and living room

12. 6ft top book shelf in BR2

13. Feature wall with sliding door in MBR

14. Painting, plumbing and wiring work

We have brought in the lightings and taps ourselves. Managed to save some $ there.

That's about all for the time being.
