Hi ZTZY, thanks. The workmanship is certainly commendable.

The contractor that is working on my project, i believe has been in the business for quite a while but he could still be new in managing larger projects. If you are a very hands on type of customer, then it may work out well but should you want to just sit back and let the contractor handle everything, you must ensure that everything has been agreed upon up front and also there would be notes or agreement terms to fall back on.

In summary, the contractor is a nice person to work with but you do need to ensure that what you have asked and agreed on is delivered. Workmanship is certainly commendable. (sorry for being repetitive)

Sent you the details via PM.

I LOVE the amount of storage space I see here, sure comes in handy! But I really dislike the internal white PVC look.

Can share where you buy the light colour wood like floor tile & how much is this?

Haha OceanEleven, thanks... I'm pretty sure the wife will have a lot of things to store inside. It was actually the designer's suggestion to do a double sink with full length mirror.

Understood on the PVC look. I'm kind of impartial on that, not that particular. Guess I'm used to seeing it all over hehe.

Thanks for dropping by though hehe.. hope you are enjoying the journey so far...

Khng, i believe you are referring to the living hall tiles? We got it from White Horse Ceramic, went with my contractor to view before the commencement of the reno. If i don't remember wrongly its $5.50.

tiyiz81 congratulate on your new place! Really jealous that yours is almost done. Can you PM me your contractor contact too. Is he recommended by the ID or did you find him yourself. I like how clean he keep the house and the work done as shown in your picture. I'm in my selection progress and hope to get a responsible one. Thanks in advance..

Jullykhor, thanks for dropping by... no need to get jealous.. it will all be done in due course. We looked for him ourselves. Our designer has their in house contacts as well and they are ok to work with anyone. Yeah his staff do make sure to clean up whenever they can. Also, having a neighbours who keep their surroundings clean helps as well. It will spur the contractor to make sure the location is kept clean.

Have PM-ed you my contractor's contact...
