good question! what if either one go visit first and cannot agree with each other?

engage fsm first then id

Usually ID accommodate the FSM one lah. Client orientated lah. No Worries. Best both together so the ID can mark the places and cautious about their design. (My own opinion only hor)

my experience tells me FSM then get your ID to design based on FSM's advice

Wa lau....of course fsm first la....

ID should be to flexible, masters very stone.....so better get flexible to flex more....

FSM first than ID...

Agreed with most forumers here that house owner should engage FSM first to audit the house before you get ID to incorporate any modifications or layouts suggested by FSM. Of course, you can also get ID to provide quotations for the common renovation items to get an idea of the ballpark amount you would incur for your renovation. So, if you have budget constraints, at least you can advise FSM to provide alternate solutions which do away with major hackings / modifications.

If were to believe fs so much so, then correct logical sequence as follow:

1. Get fsm to locate a house for u.

2. Get fsm to advise all reno

3. Get ID to follow all advises from fsm

4. Fsm as consultant to supervise the project.

5. If things not happen as what fsm advised, sue fsm "in court" till his pant drop.

In reality:

1. We select/locate house for/by ourselves.

2. To "peace" ourselves, we seek "2nd opinion" from so-called fsm

3. Then "curses" and "praises"....

4. Back-side itch?

i guess my life destiny always end up buying 2nd hand pty (no new BTO, no new launch - hmmm maybe that is a good hint to myself without approaching fsm).

anyway, my experiences to this topic

a) engage fsm - to see what to keep and what not to keep.

b) toilet , wall colors, all these little details - i try to stick to hygience and fsm respectively.

c) but unlikely to do major renovation unless the things left by previous owner are spolit.

d) if fsm say must do major renovations for best fs, i usually won't follow. (unless fsm wants to co-share)

e) last resort : marry a pretty fsm and u can get advice all years ahead

i guess my life destiny always end up buying 2nd hand pty (no new BTO, no new launch - hmmm maybe that is a good hint to myself without approaching fsm).

Time flies!

5% Downpayment done in July 2010, when there was an old block yet to be demolished!.

Now(like yesterday), 2 yrs 5 months after, super fast. Time flies.

Remembered I post before(> 2 yr 5 months ago) if to "invest" in "new" or "old" property to make the $ rolls?

I decided "new" then, otherwise would have ~ $3k x 24month = $72K! in pocket now.

Est 10K "reno", "part-time" stay in for probably 3-6 months, then .....see how. Most likely will sub-let to corporate family.

Wife said don't sell. My calculation with PVIF (1.5% pa), if to sell with breakeven= $1.270mil at end 2013!

Take this chance to wish all a blessed and "happy" new year.
