Hi angelia,
You so smart... sure it's a "wild" guess?!... Yup, Sweetiee is also expecting... hee hee...
You very bad, disclose my "real" identity first... naughty naughty... anyway it's sooner or later lah. Anyway, some know already...
Oh ya, I guess I'll let my hubby do all the leg work and inspect the reno... I'm just more concerned on colour co-ordination and things like that.
Hi Lyn,
So you know who am I liao... I probably will have a lot to learn from you...

Hi Sweetiee
Oh, now I know! Anyway, this is the 3rd thread that we're "talking" to each other. I also contributed once or twice to the JWN thread.
Seems that we've got quite a bit of similarities.
Sure, I'll share with you if I have any tips/advices regarding pregnancy/babies that you wish to know.
Will you be shifting in to your new place before your baby is born? And who will be looking after the baby for you?

Hi angelia,
Have u found a contractor for your renovation?The budget is also about 30K excluding furniture but will include a full length wardrobe for my master bedroom and designed study room..My reno includes a foyer,flooring,false ceiling,kitchen cabinets with solid surface etc.ALso include doors and a makeover bathroom/toilet and specially designed aquarium.The interior design was done by idconnect and they tendered the reno contract for me.I will visit them again tomorrow to review the tender and see how much the contractors quoted.An average of 15 contractors will tender per contract and this save me the hassle of trying to look for different contractors comparing prices.I believe the price will be quite competitive although it will not be the cheapest.I do not have to pay for the interior design consultation and will also get the reno insurance from ntuc income.
Mine is a L-shaped living/dining...looks a bit small but I prefer this to the squarish type.

Hi damnjian,
Welcome to this thread. My new flats also L-shape type at 692B. Have not get the keys yet (will be collecting in Jun '02). Looking at the floor plan I do agree with you that it might be a bit small for the living room and dinner hall.
Very intersted to know more about your renovation. My budget is between S30k to S40k. After getting many quotes from different ID House, but seems like yours got more items included. By the way, what tiles did you select for your flooring (Living Rm / Bed Rm / kitchen / etc? Could you advice the contact number for idconnect and who is the one you communicated with? Sincerely appreciate to hear from your info. Thanks in advance.

Hi angelia,
My studyroom is basically one of the 3 rooms which I have converted.My unit is the same as yours lah...only 110m sq.The foyer basically was my designer's idea,which is at the entrance...with pebbles,shoe cabinet,full height partition with glass.
I use ceramic tiles.What abt u?Same as u,I have built-in wardrobe due to the design and it costs abt 1.6K.Basically I included the shower screen and vanity top in the M.bedroom's bathroom only.
Yah...I intend to set up an aquarium with full-height designer cabinet.This costs abt 3K and I will get this from Atlantis.
I just got the quotations yesterday.13 quotes total and my designer recommended 2 for me.They quoted about 24K,so about 6k lower than the estimated 30K.I will be interviewing them later today and hope to select one for my reno.
Hi Alex,
Thanks.Your 30-40K including furniture?If not,I believe the budget will be more than sufficient to do up your house nicely.How many quotes have you got so far?I believe you will get a good price when you can go for many contractors for quotations.I wanted an easier way out so I went for idconnect.Also idconnect helped me to draft out a standard tender form for the contractors to quote which I find it easier to compare their prices.You can go to their website for more info at idconnect.com.Their new showroom is at Marina Square.

Hi,
I first impression I got when I stepped into my flat was the living/dining room really very small.So I dunno whether it will be a good idea to partition an area there.I fact ,I think my foyer occupies too much space and I cut down the area a bit.

Hi Angelia,
I am such a blur sotong. Thanks for your reminder. Appreciated
Hi damnjian,
My 30k to 40k budget includes most of the item you have. In additional to yours I prefer to add in overlay of both toilets, one TV console, both toilets with Shower screen, and the rest of the basic items for kitchen; L. Rms, 3 x B. rms, etc. Still considering whether to use compressed marble or ceramic... Budget does not includes funitures.
Total only received 3 quotes so far but all are very ex with limited items. Additional items have to increase prices. Design recommended is so so only...
I will visit the website that you have recommended.
By the way how much will you have pay for idconnect alone?

Hi Alex,
Seems like you are spending quite a lot of efforts in your home.My kitchen will be most costly,which should be quite common.My 24K quote does not include my aquarium and the cabinet that comes with it but actually include some furniture already since it includes the wardrobe and everything for my studyroom.
I do not have to pay anything to idconnect.The contractor who got the deal will pay 6% to idconnect(inclusive of 1% insurance.We need to pay them only if we got their design and decided not to sign the contract with the contractor.

hi damnjian,
Welcome to this thread.
I've visited ID connect before and find them professional. Quite a good choice. Think the rest here can consider too.
Hi Ann and Alex,
Thanks for the congratulatory messages.
Alex, I used to talk to veronica at ID connect. You can look her up too. She's rather friendly.

Hi sweetiee,
Congrats to you too.Nice to hear from you that they are quite a good choice.

Wow,
Lots of reno ideas.
Well, my FH & I are sticking to Corsini. We have gone thru the step by step design requirements and have allowed them to show us other ideas as well.
For now, can only wait for the drawings to be ready which is next week.
FH & I have agreed that we are likely to take their framework suggs. As for the furnishings, we wld do it ourselves if we do not like the designer's.
We have done some shopping and have narrowed down some items (sofa, console, dining set, bed).
Think after all the houses are done, we shd jus meet up and go see all our houses
If not, since we know each other's blocks also. Jus stand downstairs and shout each other's username. Haha...
Take care all of u. I will be bz. Will try to catch up as often as possible

Hiya dear angelia...
Yes Mdm. Alex is here!!! Heee....
Last few days very business sourcing for ID firm and also busy with my work leh...
Well I have visited idconnect. Jeffrey (Customer Care Consultant)entertained us but find him not experience. Everything also need to consult his superior... Can't answer my question eg) if I were to engage idconnect, who will be the project coordinator for the renovation? He mentioned the "owner"... I am very surpise by his reply which at first I thot it should either be idconnect or the contractor. However I will still pay a second visit to idconnect and intent to speak to their Designer or someone senior.
As for el-fa, I have contacted Joseph, but he is busy. Will wait for his call.
As for White Space Living I have not contacted them yet. Might want to find some spare time for them.
Overall quite disappointed with all the ID firms I have contacted, maybe my budget is too low for them... hmmm...
Anybody out there face such problem??? Need your advice.

Hi damnjian,
From your previous message you mentioned you took a "short cut" by passing through the car park. It took you about 10min at a really slow pace and 5min is avg timing. May I know which "car park" are you referring to? Is it the one behind 692A? Not quite familiar with that place.
This coming Sunday maybe visiting there to take a walk. if you happen to see a young fellow walking to and fro to the MRT with a stop watch, that is me lah...

Hi Alex,
Quite surprise that you encountered an inexperienced guy at idconnect.Maybe you should approach their designer direct.I believe the interior designer from idconnect is the coordinator but once the reno start,it will be mainly between you and the contractor.idconnect will step in on several occasions to inspect the work during the reno before you made the progressive payments.My experience with them so far so good...hope will maintain this way.I have shortlisted 2 contractors and interviewed them.Also viewed their workmanships and finalised one.Tomorrow will go to my flat to begin selection of tiles etc.
Its the carpark of the older flats across the road.Not sure the number though.Aiyah..you going there on Sunday?Me to tomorrow.

Hi Piggy,
Welcome to CCKC club...
Trust me, you love this area.
Hi angelia,
My collection date is alost same as yours. Maybe +/- 1 to 2 weeks
This few weeks quite busy with work. Have to put renovation aside for at least 1 more week.
The quotations I got from few ID have great difference in pricing. Have not decided yet. Will keep you guys inform.
Will most likely I'll use Compressed marble for my Living/Dining, and liminate for 3 x Rooms. Just my 1 cents worth of suggestion is that unless you have spare time everyday looking after your flooring or else try not to use parquet for the whole unit. It is very difficult to maintain.
Will talk to you folks some other time. Next time I'll promise to provide with more renovation information.

Will most likely I'll use Compressed marble for my Living/Dining, and liminate for 3 x Rooms. Just my 1 cents worth of suggestion is that unless you have spare time everyday looking after your flooring or else try not to use parquet for the whole unit. It is very difficult to maintain.
Will talk to you folks some other time. Next time I'll promise to provide with more renovation information.

thx for ur advice. i oso thought so, but hubby seems keen to hv parquet for the WHOLE hse (cos his previous tenant has that and he loves it). i suggested parquet for only the 3 rms, but he said "a bit weird leh".
we're not considering laminate cos it doesn't feel as good and seems to have some "noise" when walking on it.
well, we shall see how it goes... the fact that it's the World Cup season now doesn't help much!!!

Hi angelia,
If your hubby still prefer to use parquet, why not try "Parador" laminate. According to all my contractors that I have approached, they mentioned that it got parquet color and it is scratch/water proof. Just my 1 cents worth suggestion.
My 30k to 40k renovation is excluding furnitures; but includes many additional items. Such as TV console; fosted glass partition; full height shoe rack; Air-Con cum installation, etc. All this are additional items. Not really necessary. Might consider to drop some items to cut some cost for other purpose.
After approaching a few ID firm, they adviced me to put a side some cost for "taps, heater, Air-Con, electrical installation, Additional length of Wardrobe/kitchen Cabinet, lighting, additional cost for better material use and etc" All this can easily add up to be a few $k. A bit "KS" hor??
Need careful planning before deciding which contractor to use.
As for myself, still have some spare time before collecting my keys. Therefore rather spend some time doing more researh on the market prices.
However, this 1 to 2 weeks might not have time for renovation. Quite tight up with work and also most importantly WORLD CUP...

Hi All,
Been so quiet in here...
Good to have all back in the chit chat again.
I have more or less finalised my reno details.
Ceramic for living/dining/kitchen & laminate for the rooms. Though it does make noise when u walk/drop things, it's more scratch resistant than parquet. The lovely thing is that it has many diff colours. Parquet is only one colour and too dark for the young and adventurous. (Just a thot
Though my FH & I have picked an interior design company over just a contractor, the house design is decided by us.
Another food for thot. Don't have too many fixtures in the house. W/O too many permanent fixtures, it allows u the flexibility to move you stuff around and make your house look different all year round
So free hor
Remember all u CCK-ers. Final decision is yours and not contractors. Do not hesistate to tell them what u want for the house. U will be living in it. (some cool advice)
Take care.

hi all!
Glad to see this thread revive again.
Hee, Ann, like you, we also choose laminated flooring for our bedroom coz I prefer the colour range. Find parquet's colour too dark as well. As for living/dining, we've homogenous tiles.
Right now we're waiting for the air con piping to be up so that they can start the paint work...
Can't wait to shift in.
ok, catch up again.

Hi all CCKC residents,
Please to check with you if there is anybody have any idea if there is any show room for furnitures at Sg Kadut which is near to our area. I have bypass a few big manufactures few days back, but wonder is it just a production area or they have show room there.
Anyone visited them before? Need your kind advice.

Hi Alex
Yes they fo have showrooms there with sales staff. Last year, I went there to select the marble top for my dining table and visited the showrooms as well.
