[dragon888 0]

Hi,

I am new here. Thinking of having some renovation for existing 5rm flat but would like to seek advice if it is possible to stay in the same place while renovation on-going??? Me, my wife and 2 teenage daughters staying now.

Basically what I have in mind is to do the following:

1. Remove existing shoe cabinet cum divider due to wear and tear

2. Have some new design at foyer area for privacy

3. Remove balcony sliding door and frame

4. Replace bi-fold door of common toilet

5. Replace shower screen of both toilets

6. Painting entire place and maybe with some wallpaper/decal

7. Replace bed, dressing table, study table for the 2 kids.

8. Replace furniture in MBR

9. Is it advisable to get ID for above???

Please also advise rough cost for above renovation.

Thank you.

Dear Dragon888,

1. Remove existing shoe cabinet cum divider due to wear and tear

are u replacing with a full ht shoe cabinet?

2. Have some new design at foyer area for privacy

What is foyer area?... u mean living area?

3. Remove balcony sliding door and frame

4. Replace bi-fold door of common toilet

5. Replace shower screen of both toilets

6. Painting entire place and maybe with some wallpaper/decal

Painting entire place cost 1000 to 1200 in workmanship. But if u wanna place decals, it might not work on rough surfaces, unless ur wall is the smooth texture kind.

7. Replace bed, dressing table, study table for the 2 kids.

Are u doing build in bed, study table??

8. Replace furniture in MBR

9. Is it advisable to get ID for above???

From the situation i foresee, u need not engage a "professional" ID for this aspect. Maybe u need to seek sub contractors and carpenters, painters, etc

Rough costs for your revamping project might really to depend on the complexity of the project and also how much work are u focusing on. I am guessing around 10,000 to 15,000, or even lesser

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

item 1 and item 2 are supposed to be together because the existing shoe cabinet cum divider is somewhere near the main door entrance which provide certain level of privacy to the living/dining area. so this is removed, will need some replacement. maybe a full-height shoe cum display cabinet.

for replacement of furniture, have in mind of getting COTS products instead of build-in.

by the way, do you happen to know if there is any contractor who can help with repairing of shower screen door cause the shower screen door of both toilet has the top bearing wear off and also the rubber seal has hardened.

regards.
