Dear All!
As I'm like all of you a new homeowner to the newly built 4 room BTO flat. I'm excited to post and share with you my experience during this process.
First and foremost, my husband and I managed to get our keys at 31 Dec 2014 (best gift) to sum up our 2014. So we actually started to source out for contractor to do up our house since Nov 2014. Through some internet search and renotalk, we manage to find and secure ourselves with Mr K (H2O interior design).
Just a side note, as our key collection is near the end of 2014 and start of 2015, chinese new year in Feb, we were told and inform that the work will be slightly slower. Since we are not in a rush for it to be done, so we understand and let Mr K to make arrangements that is the most suitable for us and his fellow subcons/workers. therefore this post will only contain work done before CNY.
Planning and measurements were done before CNY, so that all these could be sent to factory for preparation and after CNY can start to install the items.
In the first week of 2015, he came down to my new home and did the measurements for the windows/ kitchen carpentry and did some drawings for additional/modification of electrical points, he was also very kind to help us do a rough check for defects. As we are hacking half of the wall, he did the measurements and markings, and within the same week he sent it off for HDB approval.
On the same day, he asked his carpenter and the false ceiling subcon to come down my place to do measurement and drawings and gave a rough quote; super efficient and i was surprised too.
Here are some links for the drawings of carpentry: We have chose the materials/types for our carpentry and it is coded as such in the drawings.
