Hi Hikoki, welcome to renotalk. Im staying in Jur West St65 too!

Don't worry too much, just be more careful while searching for ID/Contractor. Get words of mouth, thats more genuine proof. Believe you can get keys in 3mths time bah... U have ample of time to source ard. My renovation is currently ongoing, and no complaints about my ID. Hope the same for you too!

Regards,

Allo

Ya, Giant supermart, foodcourt and 7/11 are very near. Kou Fu got certain foodstalls selling not bad food... but the place is getting more and more crowded.

My handover will be in weeks time too.. Pretty excited. Renovation process has been smooth though along the way got headaches over designs and stuffs... But i guess those are common. :P
