pencil 1 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 Yeah, having a small 3 rm flat.. thats the main reason why i choose to do built in furnitures. To save space and to make the flat looks sleeker and nicer.Everything have pros and cons. Small means less effort to maintain and you get more time to enjoy your nice house.

weishun 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 Everything have pros and cons. Small means less effort to maintain and you get more time to enjoy your nice house.Yup i so agree with you... So far maintaining of my house is very relaxed. Not as torturing as compared to cleaning up my parent's 5-room flat... That one.. back breaking... lolOur is also a 3 room flat. BTO in Sengkang. 70sqm. But I only have half of your budget for renovation.. Hopefully can do out something half as nice as your.. Well, you have to really sit down and spend alot of time planning on the necessaries. What do you need for your flat.. Storage? Save Space? Design?For me, the most important thing is storage as i'm staying in a 3-room flat. That means no store room. Therefore i need alot of cabinets to store my barang barangs. Also on the other hand, due to space constrain.. i cannot afford to buy furnitures as they are by standard too big for my space thus going for custom built ins will do the trick. Do only what you need like tv consoles, sofas etc... thats only if you are particular over the overall outlook of my house like i do.. lol.But there are pros and cons in built in furnitures... if one day the furniture spoil.. how to take out? This is the question you should ask yourself. But of course built ins will make your space look more clean cut and sleeker. Best is to practise regular maintenace.

weishun 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2007 Ask you guys ah... Is it possible if i need to add on more power points after my renovation is completed? Cos i think i need more points in my kitchen's preparation area. Any advises guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted July 9, 2007 actually you can consider the eubig system where you only need one point to extend out to as many as sixteen plugsthe system is pricey though, but it'll be less of an eyesore if you have all concealed points however, if you dun mind the trunking then it's okay bahcan expand the existing sockets or pull one more to the kitchen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pencil 1 Report post Posted July 9, 2007 Really can ah? Then should i look for my ID or should i just get a contractor from the electrical shop downstairs my house?Depending on how you want to do it, it may not causes new trunking.For example, if you currently have 1-2 at the preparation area, you can add 1-2 more points directly next to the current block. The electrician can drill a hole and extend the wire across. However, if you want to add points where there are no existing trunking, then its very likely you will have to create new trunking.I think contractor from electrical shops can do sufficiently well. Its your choice. I would typically base this on cost, but your contractor might know your house better. Alternatively, if your contractor don't mind, you can try dealing directly with the electrician that he uses. Might get you a better rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weishun 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2007 hi, check out the discussion hereOh my.. the price is abit too steep. Guess i will just consult my electrician and see what he says. I need just 2 more power points in the middle of my main prep area for my deep fryer and other misc appliances...Depending on how you want to do it, it may not causes new trunking.For example, if you currently have 1-2 at the preparation area, you can add 1-2 more points directly next to the current block.
