Went to talk to 2 IDs yesterday.

1. Had conflicting answers on how long it takes to renovate 2 old toilets that includes hacking of wall tiles and floor tiles. 1 says it can be completed in 1 week and the other says it can be completed in 1 and half months. Has anyone done toilet reno before and approx how long does it usually take to complete?

2. Is it easy to find short term rental at another hdb hse while house is under reno? Staying at hotel for almost 2 mths will cost a bomb!

Thank you in advance for any ideas/suggestions or inputs shared!

please recommend me the one that say can complete in 1 week. (meaning 5 working days)

hacking already takes 1-2 days.

laying of waterproofing and initial cement smoothing takes around 2-3 days.

tiling up the floor and wall takes 3-5 days (unless u are using cement screed, but highly unlikely)

then fixing up the piping and accessories takes 1-2 days

total around 10 working days or 2 weeks.

Normally, contractors should take 2-3 weeks. I think 1 week ID just wants you to sign and then extend later!! I've a few friends that tell me that happened to them.
