U mean $300 for you living hall false ceiling + TV feature +ledge? thats a steal! YOur false ceiling is 4" or 6" how can that be so cheap hmm....Hmm so how much he charge for installing lights for the false ceiling ~ And your shoe rack only cost $660 OMG!!! so cheap! Mine was quoted 4th $1500 got to remove from my list then~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jopej 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2011 No no no. Dun be mistaken. 300 is for my master rm ceiling, feature panel n ledge. The false ceiling part is very small. Jus the centre of the rm. My contractor n us hav a common understanding, 拉长补短. Meaning, he will quote me some other things more ex, but some at cost. He oso need to make his earnings. I think mine is 6". Cos I bot the bigger plc light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terencetcw 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) haha true true mind did told me the same thing too~ 拉长补短 haha I wonder if you have false ceiling can u place the ceiling fan on top? will it be too low and might possible get "chop" touch wood by he ceiling height~ Edited October 29, 2011 by Terencetcw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jopej 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2011 Ya. I did think of putting a ceiling fan, but need false ceiling to hide electrical trunking. My ceiling is already very low, can't put ceiling fan, hb feel very presured. Everything too low. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terencetcw 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2011 can i check with you, how do we know what is the height on the ceiling level?As i plan to do false ceiling too but i do not know the current HDB ceiling height...I Prefer to have ceiling fan as it uses the "Air Space" so the house will be much bigger~ 4" false ceiling may not be good as i was told that lighting size which do not have sufficient space to install.Ideally most of the ID/Contractor will do a 6" False Ceiling...and now im thinking on the same issue as you. "Ceiling Fan" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jopej 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2011 Every estate has a slight difference in height. U can ask your contractor to help measure n give advise on whether a ceiling fan is possible. Originally, I wanted a ceiling fan at my dining. Then I will not hav downlights there, jus lights attached to ceiling fan. So I will hav my false ceiling very shallow, jus enuf to cover trunking. U can do the same for your place. I change my mind cos I found a dining light tat I like a lot. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terencetcw 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2011 hmm....I have L-Box surrounding for living and dining hall thus is okie for me to install dining lights and ceiling fan but the main problem will be the rooms....What is the min clearance for installing a ceiling fan under the false ceiling?

jopej 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2011 Hahaha. I dunno min clearance. But I guess it is quite dependent on the tallest height of your family members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terencetcw 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 hm..no problem i ask my ID I guess the KDK fan dimension should be small enough to mount without chopping visitor heard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jopej 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2011 I was unhappy with my main gate. It looks awkward. The supplier did not use the full space of my doorway. I told my contractor abt it. I know it's unreasonable to request for a change since it's up already. I jus told my contractor to see it personally. Next, I received a call saying tat the gate will be replaced at no addditional charge. Hahaha. I was so happy. Thou there were problems along my reno journey, lucky my contractor helped me to settle everyone of them to my best benefit. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
