Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request
Chrono PMed you my contractor contacts. MY reno is still on going. I started reno at mid March.

Thanks! Will be good if u can post some pics to show!

Yesterday i was browsing IMM level 3 with my wife! A few IDs attended to me but was only impressed by one!

I can tell he is a contractor even before he introduced himself.....cos his hand felt like sand paper! I was impressed not because he is a contractor but he actually help to save my cost, give good advices and ideas to salvage thing that i felt need to change! 45 mins of discussion already save me 3.5k! However, it is still too early to finalise anything....will wait for his quote and see his work before deciding!

hi Chrono,

can share?

now i am really having a hard-time.....cos my hb was telling me to save cost and not to dismantle the false ceiling and no need re-wire,...he says remain all current wiring and false ceiling......sure will save alot!

means, we only need to buy new lights and change lor.

can anyone advise me here? is it advisable to keep those and remain as it is?

The apartment is around 20 years old and most of the tiles and fixtures are original HDB items hence need to replace most of them. My ID is more of a contractor. There is no fancy 3D drawing only simple drawing for the carpentry. He would recommend what i should do based on my ideas.

I not sure if i got a good rate for the reno works.
