Just went for our 1st apt at HDB last week.

Came across some ID shops nearby and did some checking.

Can't decide which ID to work with.

Most are too eager to give promises and assurance... with some not able to answer questions directly

Wifey and I have decided not to rush but to take it slow on this reno thing.

Headache...

The description not precise enough to protect yourself.

Kitchen cabinet-What material?Plywood?Compact sawdust?with handles?What handles?

L-Box- Inclusive of lights?Electrical wires?Charges for the electricians?And the length size of the L-BOX

HDB-Permit not required for your mention job

Cooker/Hood- What brand?

Paints-Not all the time they use as they describe

Dealing with Reno contractors can be very tricky. My advice is

1) To control on progressive payment

2)Demand quality work-be there most of the time to ensure job done according to what agreed upon

3) Be ready to 'advertise' them if they screw you up,with pictures if possible.This will make them careful with customers
