Any idea what queue numbers were being called up so far?

High floor good,but lift breakdown,you're more or less trapped.

aiyah now most blocks got 2 lifts de mah, one breakdown got other lift mah...not that bad de lah.

 

[yiantay]

Get high floor but not too high, somewhere like 12-15, cos you don't take too long in the lift to reach your floor. 15th floor is a good floor , high enough to get a good price when you sell later on. 15th floor in a 30-35 floor block is only mid-floor, but I think it is fairly okay for most people, and you can get quite a good price already in future when you decide to sell and upgrade.

Does anyone know what is the purpose for having both:
1) ACCREDITED CHECKING SERVICES FOR BUILDING WORKS
and
2) SPECIALIST ACCREDITED CHECKING SERVICES FOR BUILDING WORKS

found in the tender notice in HDB website for the recent BTO. Usual BTO only has the (1) ACCREDITED CHECKING SERVICES FOR BUILDING WORKS

Not sure wads purpose of both the works.

But I only found one tender notice for each project. i.e the nov one for queenstown is:

Part A: Building Works At Queenstown Redevelopment Contract 25A (Total: 1179 Dwelling Units); Part B: Contingency Works

The selection of Ghim Moh BTO seems to have paused for awhile. Any idea if there is any nos. being called down past few days? Have been monitoring the statistics.

CPF is only 23% of your monthly salary. So no impact ba...

BTO.sg does not always have the latest update based on what I can see for TPY selection. BTO.sg only updated for the first 2 days - while the selection has gone on for another 2 days.

I would just check the HDB website instead, as that is the best source of info.

BTO.sg seems to be quite reliable until Monday (14th Jan) when they updates just stopped coming in... I wonder why. PM keithster but no reply.
