Hi Kyosho1
As Carol had explained earlier, BCA did the assessment base on sampling. That means that they will only assess 1 out of every 4 units available and base on this they will issue Quality Workmanship Cert for all units or project!
That is why I am thinking of paying BCA through IDconnect to get another assessment to get them into dilemma.

Hi Happylady,
The first batch of the resident cards are in.... just that mine is not in that batch...
Hi Cool-blue,
My washroom basin is porcelain... but I'm re-doing my master bedroom washroom using the same black tile as in the common washroom... as both me and my hubby like the black theme. In fact, my ID said the black tiles NTUC uses in the common washroom wall are quite expensive... there are cheaper substitute (with similar quality) available in the market. NTUC shld spent that amount of money to provide a better flooring instead.

Hi Carol
My hubby had the power and gas on the same day. So the gas man from Citygas came and check. He informed my husband that one is partially blocked.
So I included in my second defect list. Anyway the main con rep stated that he will check to see if this falls under whose responsibility. The main con or the company that provided the cooker.

Hi all,
I was quoted almost $10,000 for renovation excluding the power points. The quoted price includes false ceiling for living and 3 bedrooms, TV console(living), freature wall(living), feature wall(master).... Expensive?
By the way, how much will be one power point?
Please advice...

Hi Mrs Chan,
When u say electrical works, what do u mean? from the numerous quotes i got, installation of per lighting point is avg $35. So u have a false ceiling with downlights..that could mean quite a number of lighting points. How many lighting points u got?
The wall paper for the 2 bedrooms if for all 4 walls? if it is, it's very cheap!
The quote i got for one side of my whole living room to dining room to foyer is already 2.1k using high quality wallpaper!
Which id firm is it if u dun mind? thanks!

Hi Danny,
As we are not in a hurry to movein to avoid the possiblity of complicating things in the event of dispute with the maincon on defects rectification, we have been taking our time looking for ID. But I heard from my friend that it cost $150 to get the fan installed in a similar setup.

Hi All
I was quoted for the total electrical works for the house as a whole. Each down light cost me about $23. I have a total of 19 downlights in my house. (in master, living and dining and 2 for bedrm 3). yes I have wallpaper in master room, all four walls and for bedroom 2, 2 walls. Lights not included in the quote.
Many ID I ask, they tend to find doing renovation works very little to earn coz everything already done up. I have approached as many as 20 IDs and contractors. You gotta ask around and compare prices lah.
I have seen my ID's workmanship and my husband and I are happy about it. In fact, he is also very service oriented. He kinda gave me free shelves. He also went with us to buy our funriture, our lights for the entire days (whole 12 hours) at no costs.
Want me to recommend?

Hi Merci,
The quotation doesnt seem cheap to me. Those FOC items are very common with IDs/contractors. I do not have the free rack deal but gotta free book shelving and the window bay top free
The others FOC items are available for my ID too though some are not listed on my quotation.
Carol,
I was at my unit yday and saw u and ur hubb checking ur MBR....too bad u two are engrossed in your checking and cannot see me

Hey Ah Eng,
Next time we can wave to each other from our balcony... so nice!!
We too, did "beo" your unit to see if you were in your unit in the morning but didn't see you...then after that we were too busy checking defects so didn't notice you... saw your hubb and kids in the pool when we left..and he told us you poor woman sweeping upstairs
As for our inspection, initially our unit looked ok to us, but the more areas we checked, the more defects surfaced... and we ended up with quite a number of masking tapes all over the house.
My main problems are scratches on the tiles, esp. those in the MBR near the tub, ill-fitting window panes and sliding windows, some uneven tiles and hollow tiles, some glue stains, lousy silicon work and minor pen-knife like cuts on the kitchen cabinets (did you check for cuts?). We have not checked for leakage like what Merci did, but maybe will check it by this week. Oh yes, did anyone check for sewerage drain blockage? Heard that some drains might be blocked by hardened cement, so must check too.

Hi,
Just wanna check, has anyone of you seen the flyer on the L shape custom-made shelves (for the store) that's selling for $150? It was in our letter box. Anyone of you keen of going for it? It's quite industrial looking (with 4 or 5 wooden shelves and metal frame, which comes in white, brown or grey). Think it may be worth getting, cheap and functional (though it does not score well in the looks department).
Alvin,
is yours similar to the system advertised?
Hi ah eng,
We were at our apt on sat, but did not see you around. Two weeks have since passed since our keys collection and nothing has been done at all for defects rectification..! sigh... talked to the supervisor. He mentioned he will try his best to speed up the work, but there are too few workers for too many apts... quite alot have not even collected their keys..

I was recently informed by my future neighbour about the existence of the discussion here. It's amazing to see so many of my future neighbours here, and there are so much useful information which should have be very useful for me had I known the forum earlier. Well, it's still not too late to join I guess.
But I feel it's a bit crowded as thousands of posts clutter in one thread, difficult to follow and reply. Hence, I've created a dedicated forums site for all residence of Park Green, the forum will be used not only for renovation issues before we move in, it will also act as online community after we move in and become real neighbours.
Please be informed that the forum is not related to the PG management authority in any way, and it's not for commercial purpose either. It's free for you to use, as long as you use it properly.

For those who have not registered at the new forum, I wld think that registering under the same name will be easier for us to "recognise" each other... we just need to carry our other issues to the new forum and no need to guess who's who. But I think I know why Ah Eng is not usng Ah Eng anymore
Oh ya, thank you Teak for doing us such a big favour!

Oh yes, did Cecil give you a copy of the things that have to be done for the house, i.e. the FS tips like hanging hu lu in the toilet? He told us lots of things verbally and I dun think I can remember them all...and wat's worse is that I omitted some while writing them down
