Hi neighbours,
We are staying in 656D. We got our keys a month ago and currently HDB is fixing up the defects. Let me share the defects we have. BTW, for defects repair, our HDB contact person is Vanice (64778892) and the HDB contractor is Raymond (81987262).
1) LOTS Of hollow wall tiles in kitchen and both toilets. HDB is hacking away everything and replacing all the tiles, but the design is ok only. Raymond will introduce nicer tiles to you at additional cost.
2)Hairline cracks on walls here and there.
3)One of the doorknobs is faulty.
4)RUSTY metal home shelter ventilation port.
5)Incomplete rubber lining of windows.
6)Old electrical point covering at service balcony and balcony.
Erm... that's all i can remember. So just get your money worth as you have paid for a NEW home and what you received should be NEW.
Oh ya, heard from Vanice that town council will repaint the whole block at the end of the year.
Hope they do something about the rusty mailboxes also.

Hi Photoemission
Welcome to this Blk ;-) Which floor you are in?
Btw, may I ask how do you check if the wall tiles in kitchen & toilets are hollow?
My defects are a)incomplete rubber lining of windows b) leaking of water at the common bathroom pipe. I had inform Vanice about the defects in a mth ago. But still yet to solve. Sigh...

Hi pYiP,
i'm at 16 floor. What about you?
Regarding hollow wall tiles, you can just knock with your knuckles and listen for the "hollow" sound. But got so many tiles to knock, it's better to use a hard rounded wooden stick, eg wooden hair brush handle. If there's a hollow one, it will definitely sound different from a sturdy one.
Ya. Vanice told me got to wait 6 weeks, so still waiting loh.

i can be contacted at [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

Contact Mr Tan @ 9191 6633 (Hoon Hoe Bros / Eagle Design). Have seen his carpentry works and designs not bad. Been in this biz for the 29 years.
He brought me to view his other clients' houses at various areas and I had spoken to them, abt 5/6 told me that his prices are really reasonable and dun over-charged! No mark-ups at all!
His client bases are mainly by words-of-mouth. Met up with him recently and got to know that he's actually bought his shop from the govt and dun need to pay rental hence can charge cheaper.
Most of the quotes given to me are basically material costs and some/minimal labour costs.
He got his own team of plumbers, technicians, titlers, electricians, carpenters. It's a one-stop service company.
His package even throws in reasonably priced cooker & cooker hub, air con and FOC toilet accessories. In my package, he also throws in FOC labour for lighting points & wash basin. Of course there's more into it.
Im also introduced by a forumer here and am so glad to get to know Uncle Tan.
He's a very friendly, middle-aged man who goes dealing biz in traditional way. Thus, he would be doing up his company webpage soon. Currently his company website doesnt have heaps of info.
Of the comments I have received from his customers, most of them went back to him after comparing quotes from outside contractors/ID..one of them even compared 15 quotations before signing up with Mr Tan. his quotes are generally 5-10% cheaper than other companies.
His company is registered and can be found under HDB's list of registered contracting companies. He even opens up a sister company in order not to let clients pay for the GST.
Not trying to help him bringing in more biz but trying to share what I know about Mr Tan. Hubby & I are in the midst of finalising the details and will be signing up with him this week.
PM me if you want to know more info abt Mr Tan's works. Insofar, I am quoted 25-26k inclsive of doing wiring for air con in living hall, making 2 pcs of temper glass door at main leading to kitchen and another one to rooms. We are still contemplating whether to keep the big air con at living room cos parents yet to decide whether to give us or not. Thanks.
