Extreme Makeover @ Pandan Gardens

[csingeu 0]

After reading the hiccups & issues faced by good friend csingeu makes me feel heart pain for him lor

Just 2 days into the reno journey & he has to solve the problems by himself...poor thing.

I am glad that I am lucky one with a good ID to take care of my house like his own. That's why I dare not park my initial $50k renovation contract in the hands of an unknown contractor, especially where our renovation is extreme makeover. At least anything not happy with the contractors, I can push to the ID to solve them for me.

Now, I just want to wish him to stay calm, focus & strong enough to conquer all odds & challenges!

Csingeu, if you are reading this, JIA YOU!! I support you all the way!!

Thanks!

think if in the end, cannot get what I want, also like tat le... sigh...

Bro,

If you need our help, just let us know.

Both Marsy & me have completed our renovations, and May's reno is ahead of you. So, we can share our knowledge and lessons learnt with you.

Instead of rolling on the bed, I might as well do some readings until my eyes tell me that's enough.

Woah, you still so hardworking to do spreadsheet? I started off one spreadsheet to compare the reno quotations, but after reno started, I moved my focus away. Now, if you asked me exactly how much I spent for my reno & purchases, I can only give you my guesstimation!

no no.. i am doing spreadsheet for my contractor.... he need a spreadsheet to automate his quotation. By doing this, he will do some free stuff for me instead of charging me for top up.

May,

So you are creating a template for your contractor. Got Copyright or not? Can 'sell' your template to more contractors le.

Marshy,

I am just the opposite...I am pro in MS Words but not Excel. After the advance Excel course, I am confused & lost with all the formula (VLook, If, etc etc).

You must be very Pro in excel lor.

Our QS & Commercial people are also Pro in Excel, and whenever customer requested for soft copy of pricing document, they will copy the value and remove all formulas and pasted onto another spreadsheet. Sometimes when I check their document, I will run through each line item by item to ensure no formula and mark up% in the cells...which sometimes happen lor ...and I will start at them!
