blueocean 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2010 Wah ... that's early ! I guess you could probably come up with a ceiling works, lighting and SSO points plan. Then can already start scouting around for the downlights etc you want to buy alreadie ... If your flat is a brand new unit, may need to have some time allowance for HDB defects rectification work ? I remember my mum's place had some leaking walls after the flat was completed by HDB, and they needed to rectify first before renovation starts .... Have you got all your quotations alreadie ?

Have you got all your quotations alreadie ? hi, I'm more kiasu. Lol. No lah, I start preparing now; bit by bit, when I get my keys it's not so tedious. If everything wait till last min, I may make wrong decisons which may have a negative impact on my flat? actually I aready engaged an ID. Layout, designs all done. Just that still choosing the laminate n colours. Will post here when all is confirmed. When I collect my key, go onsite look through again, if no major changes then can straight start he Reno! Appliances mostly I have in mind which to get le. Furniture wise I only need to get sofa, dining table and coffee table. Went IMM & IFC last weekend, but didn't saw any that we like. Wait till nearer date to our collection of keys then go scout again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same thoughts as you, wanted to get things done step by step so no rush when keys are avail. One word of caution before you make any purchase - think, think and think. So far, I made 2 purchases, regretted both, but deposit already paid, so either forego or swallow lor. Don't be tempted when salespeople says things like book now, lock the price, promo price only now, or later no stocks etc. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
