Hi Ann,
Great... you have collected your keys and will be doing renovation soon.
For me still waiting for Town Council to get back to me when to rectify the defect that we found last Saturday (Collect last Tues but open door last Sat)
Quite many defects... Must complete the defects before contractor start work.
Do enjoy your renovation...

aiyo, last nite go new flat to check for defect (got scared at the list of defects u gave us lah) and knock knock till my knuckles so painful..
the tiles are okie, but the bedroom doors a little little bit slanted but guess this can ask contractor to help us fix. the bomb shelter door oso slanted.. cannot lock properly. i.e cannot turn handles upwards to 90 degrees fully.. than we see see see and realised that the lock doesn't fit nicely into the "hole" on top.. can see the paint in the "hole" coming off due to the friction..
prob will send the defect list by tmr... btw, where to send the list to?? CCKC town council? is there a form to fill? we hvn't gone thru that stack of docu given by HDB leh...
<FONT COLOR="aa00aa">Sweetiee,</FONT>
nice meeting u & hubby.. must say ur house is very nicely done up, though eventually u din engage ID.. both kuek and i like ur kitchen sliding door. dun mind if we "copy" the design?
also amazed by the way u "hide" the bedroom door. actually separates the living area from the room very nicely.

hi Angelia,
Nice meeting up with you & kuek also...
Must apologise for keeping you guys waiting downstairs...
Thanks for your compliments...
Hee, the kitchen sliding door har? It's actually a mistake! I mean, it wasn't the design we originally wanted! Thank God that it turned out to be ok... so we accepted it but still demanding discount from them...
Well, you can improvise the design if you want... but just make sure it blends with your overall concept lor...
The bedroom door har... it was just my crazy idea but in the end we managed to do it like a feature wall...
Feel free to swing by for chit chat again...

Hi Angelia,
Over the seperate e-mail I told you that my girl girl actually using "Tapping Rod" to test... Ooopss... forgotten to inform you that this Tapping Rod is not easy to obtain but next alternative you could use "Coins" to knock. This process is very "Siong" lah...
The form is together with the small "black bag" given during key collection. You could send the defects list to fax 63100725 (CCK Town Council) or call 63958688. Each block will have different Technical officer to handle the defects... I have sent and called on Monday, but until now no reply leh... Will call them later.

Hi Alex,
What sort of defects did u find at your place?
I gave my place a glance through and not too sure if there were any defects.
Maybe shd go and have a thorough check thru' becos we nd to report within 7 days.
Hi Angelia,
How's ur place, so far? Loving it more and more huh?
Hi Sweetiee,
You are the most senior CCKang-er, having moved in first
Enjoy before the rest of us move in and visit your house
Since Angelia has praised your nice house, we shall all drop by...hee hee (just kidding)...Don't wanna scare you

Hi Alex,
Oh dear, my email caught a virus...I clicked on a title that didn't look familiar and the PC always gives a farting sound when I try to go into the email. Have not been able to rectify it since...
Can just tell me briefly what to look out for?
If not convenient, then it's ok..
I shall just go knock all the walls

Hi Ann,
It is ok. Is just that I am lazy to type lah...
For my units there are many "Hair line" Cracks at the tiles (Wall and floor). Hollow tiles are common. When you knock on tiles or wall (can either use metal spoon or coins), you will hear that it sound different. Some dun mind about hollow tiles/wall becuase apperance looks ok, but after certain years tiles/walls will "pop" out...
For some tiles already crack, contractor usually use white cream (dun know what it call) to paste on it. But actually if you look carefully you will notice that it has already chip off... For cracks it is better to use your hand to feel the tiles because sometimes it is cover by a layer of dirt which won't be obvious by seeing.
Do look out for the doors. Some can't close propoerly. (In line with walls) and some can't lock fully.
Do remember to check the window, whether can be close and lock fully. As for Window especially at the casement paint/protective layer usually peel off.
For Ceiling, check whether if there is any water stain. If there is most likely becuase of water seepage from upper level. For those top level will be easier to check becuase of occasional raining, but for normal level unless someone living on top wet the floor than you will see the effect clearly.
Most of my problems are hollow tiles, walls and mis-alignment of doors
Wow... if I have not remember wrongly, yours is EA right. More area to check...
Hope this helps.

Alex, i think i still owe you the contractor's number. Very sorry as these few days are so busy. I am meeting the contractor tomorrow, i will get his namecard & let you know on monday.
I have just gotten back a quotation from one of the ID yesterday. Quoted me ard $25k (without aircon, electrical fittings). Not sure if this is ok pricing. Also, the kitchen cabinet quoted $3500+ & with solid top will be another $1500+. Is this too expensive cos don't remember my sis' kitchen cabinet being so expensive.

Hi Kas,
Hope to hear from your good news soon.
As for $25k, need to compare items before knowing whether cost is ok...
As for Kitchen cabinet, need to know $/ft. Use $3500/xxft = $/ft. Some are slightly expensive because inclusive of accessories or some panel of foster glass. very difficult to judee without the details.
Sames goes to your Solid top. $/ft will be difference for different length and brand...
Or you might want to have a seperate discussion at the e-mail address i sent you?

Hi,
Just happen to see this thread today. My hubby and I are staying in Blk 685B. We completed our reno last August. Will be having our customary in Dec this year. We spend around 30+K for our reno of our four room unit. Have done quite a lot of built-ins.
If any one needs our quotation for reference, feel free to let me know.

Hi Sweetiee and Angelia (Ng),
Guess this few days has been to busy with work. In fact I have been typing my client names almost few hundred time per day. Either through e-mail, summary of meeting, reports, etc... Very scare already lah...
Hi Kas,
Each individual contractor have different specialty. Some good in design, cost, quality, and service etc.
For me I'm chosing El-Fa (IMM). El-fa have Radac and is also from HDBay List. Design not bad. Pricing attractive and able to negotiate. Quality not so bad (have went to their present site to see) So far compare almost 8 ID firms and contractors, Elfa is my top list...
There are a few recommended contractors/ID firms in this thread by our CCKC neighbours, not bad too...

Hi,
Inorder to avoid confusion, guess you all can type my name as Angie. You think is a good idea, Angelia Ng
Currently, my hubby is in CCK in the weekdays. I will only be in CCK during the weekends as you all know lah, not yet customary...
Sweetiee, where is your block? Is it the one beside my block? Which floor is yours? We wanted high floors initially. However when we selected ours last year, there were no high floors left and we can only be content with our current 9th floor.
Before I forget, to all of you who are in the midst of renovationg your flats, make sure you do not cover up or seal off the "ventilation holes" in the bomb shelter. We did a feature wall to cover up both holes and we were so "lucky" to be one of the targeted unit for "QC" check. Guess they selected the units at random.
We were told to remove the feature wall for one of the hole. They have not come to follow-up since and we have not done anything yet as the thought of having to clean up after all the work just put us off.

Hi Angie,
My block is the one right at the corner at the very end... next to the multi-storey car park...
I managed to get 15th floor... very windy over my side. So quite happy abt it so far.
We can visit each other one of these days...
So you'll wait till Dec before you officially shift in?

Hi Sweetiee,
Lucky you! Manage to get quite a high floor
Oh sure! will love to see your flat. Read about Angelia Ng's comment about your sliding door and the way you hide your bedroom door. Very interesting
Yup, that's right. Will have to wait till Dec after our customary before I can officially shift in.

Hi Angelia...

Oh ya... feel free to come by. Erm, drop me a note here in advance.

The shops at Turf City is not too bad if you wanna try...
Bought some there over the weekend

Products include Aircon, fridge, TV, fans, heater, etc... About 90% of the brands available in S'pore. Just helping him up to do some promotion here...Try to believe...

Just give him the model number and he will give you a good price where it is difficult to get it else where. Very cheap you know...
Remarks:\ Don't ask him which one is good or further discount... He will get angry one leh... because price is cheaper compare to others... All my colleagues got their stuff there...
Happy shopping...
For furniture, I'll update later...
Please do share with us if you happen to come across best buy...

ha ha... Ann, sure... make sure you find me at the right unit!
Hi Alex...
Oh ya, I think my hubby's colleague also recommended him the same electrical appliances dealer... my hubby just ordered the TV from there. Much better price than outside. Should have got our other stuff from them earlier.

hi Ann,
think i am very close to you too. I am at 690C. Am hoping to start my reno soon too but still deciding on the ID. But must definitely kick off reno before the hungry ghosts month. Pang dan lah!
But hope that HDB can get the defects settled soon. They told me they will take 3-4 weeks. Gosh! Hope they hurry!!
You sure there are no defects at your place? Mine has alot. That's why the HDB officer said might take longer to rectify.
Alex, did you get my email on the contractor's contacts?

Hi Kas,
Yes I received. Thanks... I've decided to use ElFa.
Yap, I agree with you that there are many defects. To name a few like hollow tiles, tiles hair line crack, pipe leakage, uneven alignment of doors, etc etc...
For those who wanted to lay laminate or parquet or timber material, pls remember to request town council cement screeding earlier together with rectification of defects. This way will not waste time...
Happy renovation...

Hi cychang,
I believed most toilets are rather small. My the same. When open toilets doors it will hit the shower screen area. My ID Firm adviced me to put a small stopper at the side of the door to prevent knocking. Idea seems ok but have not started reno yet.
Agree with you there are many piping. I'll be boxing them up with shelving to put small items.

Hi Kas,
Wow...so near...next blk only...
Yep, no defects from what I see. I went through all the things that were mentioned by Alex...3 times actually with different people. Couldn't find any faults.
Hi Alex,
May wish to try Thomson Lighting At IMM. It was the most reasonably priced during my scout there last nite. The designs are nice & modern too. This is the only one I have been happy with.
I agreed that the toilets are small and the door placement is rather inconvenient. However, able to still do shower screens. For the common bathroom, suggest the 3 small sliding panels unless we can be happy with a shower kerb and a nice shower curtain.
Congrats to those who just got their keys!

Hi Ann,
So sorry that my understanding power is poor. Could you help to further explain how to do the 3 small sliding panels? Is it for the common toilet panels or for the common toilet shower screen?
For the defects, agree with you it is diificult to spot it. Not even me could spot it. Happen my girl girl is from contruction industry to help me... hee hee heeee....

hi all!
finally moving to end of the week. Feeling so tired these days with all the renovation sourcing. Am going to look for another quotation tonite. Argh!!
Alex, you might want to reconsider doing shower sliding doors for common toilet cos most likely we will use the common toilet to wash some of our hand washed clothes. You might find it very restrictive in future if you installed a door. I was told by one of the designers when we went shopping for quotations. That's why she discourage us installing shower sliding doors for common toilets. Find this quite true as the toilet is really small.
Hi Piggy, you might want to try out JSDC at IMM & look for the designer Vivi. She's quite good & i like her designs. Price might be quite ex but negotiable. She's quite flexible. She is recommended by my colleague who use her for her Punggol flat. Am seriously considering her once price is ok. I think she is in charge of the 1st flat featured in the Open Sesame last sunday.
Btw, i am considering doing a L-shaped kitchen. Will this be restrictive when we try to hang out the clothes from the top hanger out thru the window. Cos the space look really small. Any one has already done a L-shaped kitchen?

Hi Kas,
Thanks for your suggestion.
You might want to take a look at the other thread "JSDC Design". Believed that Sweetiee have some comments over there. Not sure if it is her.
For Kitchen Cabinets, I have facing the same constriant as yours. ID Firm suggested to me to do L Shape from one end to the other. That means do not protrude in the middle of kitchen. This way have more space.
Hope this information helps.

As I have to cater space for the washing machine, don't think i can stretch the cabinet from 1 end to the other. So will have the cabinet protrude out in the middle.
My experience with JSDC so far is quite ok. Agree that i did not have a good impression of them during my 1st visit cos there's no designer to serve us. But subsequent contact with the designer was good & she has been very prompt in replying my calls & SMS. Guess we will have to meet up with them to really see if there's a connection.

Hi all, so many messages...
Hi cychang,
Actually we din do any shower screens for both toilets. Intend to have just shower curtains initially but now got so used to it coz it seems so much more spacious.
Save cost on shower screen and also no need to wipe also... hee...
Hi kas,
I can understand how you feel... The last time I was also feeling very tired after sourcing all the contractors.
Hi Alex,
Yup, I did post something abt JSDC. They din come back to me with the quote and design at all. Anyway, it's ok lah. That din bother us a lot. But I guess it's important who you liaise with. As long as you're comfortable then it's ok.
Hi Piggy,
How many tables are you looking at?? can help you suggest... kekkeke... kay poh.
And all CCKang-ers,
So far I must say I'm really happy staying there. The nearby path next to canal motivates my hubby go jogging more!
And my place is windy.
And it's not very far from the supermarkets and MRT... My blk should be further than all of your blks but I just took around 10 mins to walk there... And... and... hiya. very good lah, you won't regret choosing CCKC! Hee hee...

Hi Sweetiee,
Which canal are you referring to? Where is it located? I do jog too. Have been jogging on weekdays after work at Clementi Stadium (at my mum's place)However when I am at CCKC on weekends, I can't find any nearby tracks to jog as CCK stadium is quite far from our place.
