Cindy-Monkeybone 1 Report post Posted August 27, 2007 Hi All, 1. Dun buy the electrical stuff now because there will be end year sale and electrical stuff prices tend have discount. You may just note down the model that you want and WAIT. WAIT. WAIT.2. Do not change copper wire cause it is conceald. Eariler I mentioned that level 6 SP has hidden some information this is because he insist that i need to change the copper wire. My short-listed contractor says no need lah. waste money.... 3. 20 ft kitchen cabinet. Actually if you are going to do a L shaped kitchen, it does not need 20FT in all. I drew up the 3D plan and show a contractor and he mentioned that I need only 17ft in all.Level 6 SP, mentioned that I must add another $350 if I wanna to have a L-shaped kitchen.Additonal point - Dun do cabinet on top of your refrigerator - Y ? you can't change into a bigger refrigerator in the future.4. Dun do toilet kerb - Y ? U know it when u visit the showroom, cause I can't explain well here. 5. Dun do washing machine & refrigerator base - Y ? People dun do it now. Also, you can't change into a bigger refrigerator in the future if you fix the size of your refrigerator base.Last but not least, it is really a small flat so we will be saving quite a bit on the furnitures and cleaning time.hehe ! Anyone got a good contractor on hand.... Please PM me... Thanks in advanceBarang Barang got 30% discount........ I must WAIT. WAIT. WAIT.

He told me if it is conceal, then it is ok (dont need to change copper pipe).Ask why?He said in future if kitchen cabinet is up, and sway sway pipe leak (due to pvc, then got problem liao.Cabinet might have to tear down. That cost money!So anyone knows whether pipe is outside or inside??Hi Got the quote from U home, way above my budget.Too bad......unable to let them do.. really....The id is very good and understanding and we can even click.But due to budget, I have no choice.....I have one neighbour went there last few days, met one of them and told my neighbour about the granite layout by his tilers.

crazycar 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2007 hi h4happy...the flats in our estate have concealed hot and cold water pipes... bathrooms come with mixer taps and shower heads...i know that the water pipes are concealed. but any idea whether it's copper or pvc? I also had this headache. some ids that i approached quoted me to replace all water pipes to copper although i told them the water pipes are concealed. one id even told me that HDB pipes are defintely pvc. so it is better to change else next time burst. dunno whether he is trying to pull a fast one.
