- Thread starter dumb
- Start date
Hi Ouchie, I'm taking the 62X area.
Think only ard 10+ units left, thus we are able to get the keys. Got out notification last week. I believe you all will most likely get your notification next week. Do login to my HDB page to check next week. Guess by 1st week of April, you all can go q-up for keys.
As for quotation,it depends on what is your requirement. everyone varies. less carpentry work, low material grade will of course be cheaper. if tight budget, do those impt first lor.

hiz... i did actually got a tv during the ITshow. a display set actually, got it very cheap. delivery will be in latest in june... cannot delay anymore to july... haiz :<
i think most contractors are some wat the same lah... just certain items for contractor A might be cheaper and contactor B others might be cheaper. on the whole, the difference in the end is like mabe a thousand or two. and becos all the detailings are different so end up all different prices again.
the only thing i'm more worried is the workmanship & how the ID or contractor handle problems... and also all the must do or must have de 'hidden cost'..... so many horror stories u get to read from the forum/internet.... scary...

mine reno also probably end up around 40k... haiz... and most work done in only the MBR n Study, featurewall in the living rm. but alot of hacking.
i'll be changing the MBR entrance. the WIW will be at the present existing entrance, my other bedroom will be smaller... (hack away the slanted wall).
the study, also changing the entrance to the wall facing the living/dining rm.
after all these, i doubt i have any money left for furniture at all... haiz...

Cracked? but it does have a lifetime warranty
Ouchie,
Use 0% installment for your furniture then, if not get a reno loan. try not to overspent on reno now. you can still do it a few yrs down the road, so that will be new flat again.
can spent on the flooring etc. less carpentry work for the time being lor.
Latte,
Me facing carpark. Think have to at least stay at the place for abt 2 hrs to visualise and to have a discussion with the FSM.
Thanks, wait for my sms tmr evening.

Babu, I think Latte is on the same side as us isnt it?
Normally carpentary is the killer... the thing that can really add to be alot. With our 628-630 block, typical L-shape full kitchen should not go beyond 29ft L. Babu, Latte, do u have intention to keep the Balcony?
I think those who is getting keys soon, should already source for ID quotations... that will speed up the process. My quote is 27.5K including window grilles (no choice, the elders insist), whole unit Homogeneous tiles, features walls x2, consoles etc... dun wanto spend toooooo much on renos... rather to invest on good furnitures...

so u face carpark and Latte face basketball court? sorry all mixed up... kekez... mine is facing basketball court.
i agree my quite is reasonable... with the increase in price with Sand, it increase our overal Haulage price... Hope Indon**ia will sell us Sand then we wun be paying so much for SAND!
i almost did WIW but FSM said i have to slp in MBR, sigh.... but my wardrobe is big too... total of 14ft, comparable to WIW le... casement wardrobe is more exp compared to WIW as WIW need no doors. my kitchen is only 20ft thou. and i will be keeping my balcony... i like the idea of gazing the sky in my own house.

me intending to do it at the entrance of the toilet door but all these have to speak to FSM tmr... if he dun allow, my reno should be cheaper... hehehehe
ya, being praying hard for ID to change their mind, so that we can save some on the Haulage.
ya we are keeping and will do even do window... ehhehehe... now thinking abt service balcony as Latte told me the kitchen very small.
Can share your warerobe idea?? if can't do walk in, sure need to do a super big wardrobe. hehehehe

Anne,
i guess it depends on wat u wan to use the other room for. i wasnt keen on changing the size of other room either, but mainly becos my feng shui shi says it's better, n secondly, even after the other room size is smaller, it still big enuff to be able to use as a small guestroom/bedroom. and the compromised space of that room is actually on the slanted wall which other than building a build-in-wardrobe or put a table there, the space is almost 'useless'. so unless another perment member of the family using that room as a bedroom, then i guess i prefer the MBR to be more comfortable. (selfish thinking hor...
)
honestly, unless u have the experience or is a ID/Contractor urself, most of us really wouldnt know if we actually have all the things needed listed on a contract. so i guess it might be better that before signing on the dotted line, get someone who knows abit to look over the contract first??
To babu...
pls pls do update us after u got ur keys... (feeling excited on behalf too.....
)

)The rain will not come into both balconies too much. If u have wooden blind, should be sufficient.. Initially i dun even wanna do grilles.. but haiz, no choice.
Sure.. but that will depends whether u intending to hack MBR to Bedroom 2 wall. If u are, then easy. Lets chat over email bah.

Hi Anne, if u need us to help u look at your quote, i believe all of us will be glad to help
Most impt is u r able to click with ur ID, able to convey ur thoughts to him. Of cos, the $$ mux be right. Thats how i chose my ID... end up got 2 IDs whom we can clicked and $$ is good too... u can imagine how tough for us to make decision. If u need my ID contacts, feel free to PM me.
Latte, heard from Babu that ur unit is very near mine.

hmmm so far, after reading from the forum, the ID i like came from a not so 'good reviews' from forums... haiz.... the FSM reccomended ID's company also has their fair share of bad reviews... my relative's company, too small to have reviews on the internet... hahaha...
I have done monthssssss of research on IDs... if u need my help to give feedbacks, I will be glad to help. U can PM me the details if u need my assistance. Sometimes there are reasons of why ppl wanto complain online... thats to create awareness. U won't wanto be the next one isnt it?
U still have few weeks to decide on the ID, the rectifying of defects for Jurong takes WEEKSSSSSsss to Monthssssss... to complete. U wont wanto start reno b4 H*B rectified the defects unless u wanna remove everything.
