Last time my one very fast, I recall the reno uncle apply under my name on Monday, on Wednesday approve liao lo

Christine (Andrew's admin staff)re-submitted my permit a 3rd time for "1 not approved item" on May 8 and I got a call from my HDB officer today giving me the good news that it's now approved. I should be getting the confirmation letter in a couple of days.

I'm sure yours is submitted earlier than mine. Any idea why yours take so long?

i had similiar issue during my reno. two items was not approved, so i gave the HDB officer a direct call, and asked about the rejection reason. turned out that he misunderstood what the contractor wanted to do(hacking), so i gave him a verbal explanation on the exact works that are required, and he gladly approve immediately.

Congrats Battle, HDB approved hacking liao :yamseng: Reno can start right on time :good:

Oh ya, need to re-do my aircon trunking, anyone have good lobang to intro ?

Current Aircon only 2 years old, so no point changing, will just need to redo the trunking (seems like owner change system w/o changing trunking, so trunking very very old liao).

Also anyone knows the agar market rate for trunking work for system 3 ?

3 Bed room side by side. So very straight forward and generally I believe can use back existing trunking hole.

Oh... Like that good ley. At least when renovating, you can drop by every morning and evening to 'supervise' :sport-smiley-004: :sport-smiley-004:

Basically, I will drop by every morning and evening (before and after work), to make sure things are in place :sport-smiley-004: :sport-smiley-004:

Very KS hor. :bangwall: :bangwall: :bangwall:

its normal lah.... its your own place mah...hahahahaha.... Andrew told me yesterday that he is very stressed. Said that those i intro, he have to make sure everything sui sui or else get complain on RT then no one will intro anymore. So, if you see anything you not happy, just call him and get it settle asap... or else, the longer you wait, it might not be possible to change anymore.

aiyoh, so many things add on... over your budget or not?
