Hi stars,
As I have mentioned in the other thread that your contractor did a great job ... didn't realise that the plans + design comes from your innovative ideas.
Wow! I salute you! Not easy to co-ordinate. How did you do it? Tough lah. Takes a lot of effort and time you know. And to bring across your thoughts and plans to the contractor is also a challenge.
Finally, you can sit back and relax ... the complete house renovation is a great reward for a job well-done!
I've since written an email to you already. Hope you received.

Hi Jac,
Yups, our is a 5 room resale flat. Nope. We din get any ID. We actually engage a sub contractor to do each different parts. Etc, carpenter to do all carpentry works, contractors to do the flooring..
Well i can intro u to the carpenter if u r interested.
But afraid i cannt post his contact here, coz if not, think it will be like i am advertising his services and moreover he is a subcontractor hence not too nice to post here. If u r interested, juz let me know via email okie..
Hi Kopi,
Yups i have receive yr email already and also drop u a reply mail. Let me know if u din receive okie.
Ya it is a lot of hard work but i must admit that we would not have done it if not for this subcontractor! He is very experience and he offers us alot of advise. His price is not those super cheap kind but it is the quality and workmanship that u r paying for. Coz sometimes some carpenter will take advantage of pp like us who knows little and give us carpentry works that is inferior, like using compressed wood for the cabinets. He wont. He show us the quantity and explain to us everything.
The rest of course then depends on us lor..Like chosing wood materials for cabinets, sometimes he will advise us to choose something else if he knows that this colour will not turn out the colour that we want. So all in all, he is the one helping us alot as well..Hee hee.. But it is very rewarding to know pp telling us that our home is very cosy and nice.. ;P

Hi Hazel,
Hmm as our hm is a 20 yrs old resale 5 room flat, hence we actually did alot of renovation for the whole house. We re-wire the whole house electrical, hack away all the flooring in the whole house, plaster the whole house and paint it. Then we started the renovation. Well lets juz say that the quote we got from ID for doing everything is about 60k coz our kitchen is very big and we use granite top instead of korean top for the kitchen and both toilets also use granite top for our vanity and basin top. We also did parquet in the 3 bedrooms as well. Rest is homogenous tiles. We also use full blum systems in our kitchen.
But by doing it ourselves thru sub-contractors which my hubby found, we save 20k. And we also have alot of custom made furniture done by the carpenter whom is very good and the price is very reasonable for that type of good quality work. Hence no complains abt the carpenter at all.
As for the MBR, we haven took any pics yet.. ;P I cant rem which is the 2nd pic. If it is the one with the hanging lights and the long dining table, then it is our dining area. The pic also show the passageway to our rooms. If you are talking about the pic with the daybed, then it is our balcony.
Hope it helps.. For curtains, i actually recommend a couplr of brides to this person who is actually my hubby friend mum. She does not have a shop hence her prices tend to be cheaper. The curtains which u saw from the pics are also made by her...if u r keen, drop me an email and i will share her contacts with u.
My email is [email protected]

well of course, the $20K saved for DIY will goes to ID for his/her speciality work and that is design and coordination.
Depending on personal preferences and committments, both myself and my wife are working full time and we just don't have the time to coordinate the contractors' work. Also, if we need specific designs like resort-style, contempoary, minimalistic, we need to engage these people to design unless they can't do better design jobs than myself ( * actually i've encounter some of them).
hi Stars, perhaps you can share with us how you manage the contractors ?

Well, like u said it depends on individual preference. Coz we wanted specific design which is resort style and most of the ID we went to, after we tell them about our ideas, they juz simply use the ideas we told them to draft an initial sketch of the design and then quote us based on our ideas. They din even contributed any extra special designs. Then in the end, we felt that no point to pay someone to do our ideas.
Well as we are not in a hurry to get the renovation done, we took our time. Actually it is my hubby who will manage the contractors. He has contacts for each individual contractors and hence each contractor will have a date whereby he does his scope. Meaning that say etc for a week, the flooring contractor will do his job, then after his job is then, then my hubby will get the contractor doing wiring to come and do it.. As my hubby runs big projects for companies, n hence he knows how to coordinate and manage a group of peole. The only bad thing i agree is that it is very time consuming and we have to do alot of works ourselves like going to places that sell tiles and choosing the tiles we want ourselves and then tell the contractor doing the flooring what particular model no of the tile we want..More hard work and effort but the end results is worth it and saving $$ is always great. It feels great when u see the finish product and know that this are yr ideas and hard work...

Anyway juz want to clear any doubts that i am a contractor or anything. I am in the sg brides thread for a while alr and will be getting married this yr..u can find me in the other thread esp the brides thread. I am juz sharing my experiences and satisfaction in doing the renovation ourselves. N if in the process, anyone need the contacts for any of my contractors, i dun mind sharing but i wont opening post his contacts here coz i am not advertising for him or anything..
hi stars,
Your house is cool
what's more is that your house layout is the same as mine
Can you share your contacts or quotation with me?
[email protected]
do you have the size of your new storeroom? I am thinking of hacking the existing storeroom to enlarge my MBR coz the MBR is rather small.
