For anyone interested in renovation of your house, i have asked Mr Kok and Beng Fong for quotation. I asked to do a permanent CD shelf, platform cum storage and floor to ceiling storage. Mr Kok's quote is higher. Beng Fong is lower. However, Mr Kok is more honest in that he says it cannot be done before the CNY, whereas Ah Chye from Beng Fong said no problem. Then, he informed me the next day, after i called him, that he cannot give me before CNY. Ah Chye said two times but reneged the agreement. I had even prepared a cheque for the downpayment. So, the moral of the story is don;t do reno work before CNY and the other conclusion about Mr Kok and Beng Fong - i leave it to your good sense to conclude.

Hi Jaskel,

Can you please PM the details of your carpenter.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

The carpentry I know of is very knowledgeable, even the workers need to study the characteristic of different type of woods and laminate...workmanship is good and responsible too.

Anyone need can PM me.

Had emailed Mr. Koh a sketch of the dressing table that i wanna have in my walk in wardrobe and he did email a quotation. The sad part is that if i confirm the deal then they will drop by to take a look. Just am afraid that my sketch is not accurate and when he come the price became different and i had agreed with the deal then die loh.

hi guys,

does anyone recommend using laminates for furnishings such as shelves and tv consoles? any good companies to recommend?

thanks!

hi Vulcansg,

i got a little bit blur regarding your contractor "Mr Lau"

is he the "Lau" from wood and metal? or the "Lau" from other threads that also call him "Mr kok" ??

from the threads i read, trees and tplittley's recommendation is mr kok (Lau) hp 9768xxxx and you have post a recommendation on the column of "Mr lau' from wood and metal whose hp is 9742xxxx under boonpin85, but yet you thanks also trees and tplittley... so your "Mr Lau is hp 9768xxxx" ? or "Mr Lau hp 9742xxxx"? it seems that both of them got a lot similarities..

HI,

sorry for the late reply.

was busy settling down in new house.

My contractor mr Lau is from Sun Hup.

Our Reno + all carpentry works also done up by Mr Kok & Ms Perlyn. (Sun Hup Interior Contracts)

Hi Wei_renovation,

I think what you are trying to imply is that I am a carpenter ???

Too bad, I am not. I have been benefited from this forum when doing my renovation work. I have gotten a contact for curtain from Malaysia and have a saving of about S$2000+. I have also managed to get a lower price for my lighting after comparing what was posted in the forum.

My carpenter was recommended by someone. In fact, I have received 4 quotes ranging from S$30,000 to S$60,000. After using them, I am very happy. So in returns, I posted their contacts on the forum and hope that someone can benefit from there.

You can choose not to believe me as I have nothing to loose. By the way, this is the design of my staircase. As the ceiling height is too high, I don't know how to take a good picture.
