Hi simplet0tz,
Just to share, today, I went to take a look at the progress of the flat (sorry didnt take any pix) and one of the foreman told me that they have to hand over the completed flat to HDB by march. Looking at this timeline, might be able to get our keys somewhere around Jul / Aug (Which falls in the 3Q as per HDB indication on their website).
Personally, I find its just right time to choose ID cos I can slowly go around shopping for the right quality and right price ID, cos comparison take time and when the ID has been choosen can start on application of renovation loan, start to do plan home design concept and when all completed, can relax and wait for key arrival. Once collected the key, can commence on renovation straight away..
