Very general works any contractor can do. If you've already waterproofing, maybe it's not waterproofing. Just need a roof specialist to climb into the false ceiling and check. Prob flashing?

Sorry not that i don't want to reply but its quite basic i only know my builder contact and i don't think he'll be interested to do coz project too small. In fact for my friend's place, his dad did it himself. ie create 2 rooms over the high ceiling living room. the best is to look for those hdb type contractors for for kitchen/cracks/cover airwell. Ask them to outsource roof to roof specialist. I'd do this to feel more secure in the long run and not some kacang buteh contractor.

Does he have to engage an engineer to do that?

Is the extra level structurally sound?

Hi adak, I sent you an email.

If you have time, drive by Loyang Villas, Eastwood, Kew, Westwood, Sembawang. These are all 99yr terraces and cheap hence turnover rate very high. You would be able to find a lot of contractors doing reno work for terrace houses. Alot of them are actually building another storey above their high ceiling living rooms. If you go on Sat mornings, you can even walk into alot of these units that are undergoing renovations. Trust me, the workers won't care if you walk inside, they won't even know who u are. U see what you like, can even see workmanship and if you like it then take their contractor numbers, better than you randomly asking for contacts online.

Above activity is free but make sure you wear covered shoes in case got nails or sharp objects you step on. I do this since i was young...parents teach. So heehee i got about 10yr experience since JC. I believe viewing with my own eyes is better than hearsay.

Ivycool, I've been reading your posts with interest. Why do you keep copying and pasting others' replies to make it your posts? That's not the way to accumulate posts you know...

Whatever you do steer away from D'*** D**** Absolutely unprofessional. I am just warning to ensure no one else gets involved with these people. If you need the exact name, please pm.
