Qn To Ask Id And Hidden Costs

[ChowGuoTiao 0]

Hi,

It is my first time meeting ID for my first 5 room resale flat.

What are the questions should I be asking the ID?

What are the works that they should cover and not?

What are the hidden cost or gimmicks that they might play which may add on to our final paying price?

I saw a topic on a list of questions to ask ID here before, but cant find the topic anymore.

Can you help us?

Hi, I would usually ask the following questions

- The cost of the packed-cement price.

- Are they HDB approved contractors? Usually they will said yes, but most of the times they are using third party.

-Any cost for the 3D design?

-For the change of the water pipe, do they charge?

-If need electrical works, how do they charge? Usually they will go to site and advise and not give you a quote straight away

-Any charges for HDB permit? some already absorb the cost, but some don't

-Payment terms (1st payment /2nd payment and final payment etc)

-Warranty period and coverage

-Disposal of the hacking (any extra charge if there a lot of hacking etc).

Also, based on my experience, you need to do own research first and know what you want before going to them.

Good luck!
