Still thinking how to create a space for 6 adult human being plus pets in this 5 room flat.

Required full Wardrobe for all the 3 bedroom.

Main bedroom - must have space for future kids if any.

Bedroom 2 - full wardrobe, dressing table and also possible for room to share the toilet in the kitchen there?

Bedroom 3 - full wardrobe, sleep area for 3 person(can have double deck bed), study table

Kitchen - Need to redo all as the current kitchen cannot make it.

Flooring will remain. Just need to touch up abit here n there.

Possible to keep the budget below 20k for all the above thing to be done just for reno?

I think 20k is a tad too low, but if its just the items u listed above, maybe its enough. No changes for the toilets?

Dun thk need to change toilet as the 2 toilet has just been upgraded by HDB itself about few mth ago..

hi shanice780, frankly speaking, $20k is abit low. do u need to do pastering? painting? if u wan to share commom toilet with bedroom 2, u need to do hacking....

not to forget u also wan to do up the entire kitchen. unless ur kitchen u don wan wall tiles, if nt $20k for enire house seems abit tight....just my 2 cent

anyway since u got idea of wat to do, tink its better u engage contractor to do. i also got a contractor to do up my house( after meeting several ID and 'borrow' some of their idea ) cause it is much more cheaper....if u wan, u can PM me for my contact....cheers

I buy at blk 713 in yishun street 71. U buy a flat in yisun too?

Looks like you will be having many carpentary works. Given your description, I think SGD 20k is viable. Here's why I think so, but subject to whether you're having more things that need to be done, eg: revamping your 2 toilets? Doing some L-block false ceiling in your living room?

For built-in wardrobe, I've got $230 per foot run. So it really has to depend on your requirement, as in how big do you want for your wardrobe.

For revamping of your kitchen, I would assume that you're going to replace the wall and floor tiles. For this, I'm not too sure. But for Solida Surface Table-Top, I've got $70 per foot run, and kitchen cabinet is $110 per foot run.

Aren't doing anything to your living room? If so, I've got TV feature wall come with suspended console for $230 per foot run.

I'm about to start my renovation soon, waiting for the disbursement of cheque to pay the 1st downpayment to my ID, most prob will start work next week. So far, it's been a good experience with this ID, who is located at Joo Chiat. If you find that this quote is reasonable, I can PM you the contact.

Good luck to your renovation. :)

Yup, my flat in Yishun too.. Blk 289 ave 6. Maybe I can intro u my contractor, also frequently recommended in forum...
