3 days later.

Anyone know If we pray for 土地公 on the day of house opening ritual, we have to put joss stick, candle, huat kueh, fruits facing main door? Which mean we face to the main door n pray for the god? Need to know the correct direction of praying. After praying ceremony, can we proceed to defects check immediately? Or have to wait another day.

Which contractor you are looking at?

My unit come with tiles. If I dont like the tiles, do I need to do hacking or what method to change the tiles of it?

i have yet to find contractor but found the tiles at $1.90 psf for vinyl, should be cheap bah i guess.....

you can hacked away the existing tiles if you want or you can do overlay which is a cheaper options.

Some said according to feng shui, its not good to have the fan on top of you. You will feel pressurized or something like that. And for safety precautions, dont take ceiling fans that are too low as nowadays the ceiling of all hdbs are lower than before. But i think its up to individual. Im getting ceiling fans for my whole house, meaning living room, dining area and all bedrooms. Haha. I dun like the idea of having standing/wall fans. Take up space too. And ceiling fan are so much cooler than those.

yes me too dun like the idea of having standing fan in the house too, so will be installing ceiling fan in the living room. As for room, i think about it first since not advisable to have ceiling fan in the room. But will still install aircon to the whole house :0)

Overlaying tiles over tiles you don’t need screed.

Laying homogenous/ marble tiles over unscreed floors you don’t need screeding, these rough floorings are actually meant for homogenous tiling. Beware of contractors who insist that you need to Screed and re-screed for them to lay tiles.

Be especially careful when dealing with contractors & ID.

• Choose ID Firms that are professional

• Have been around for more than 10 years

• With proper paid-up capital and not a $1 dollar paid up Pte Ltd company.
(In case they run away with your deposit after delaying you for some time, or force you to top-up for no reason mid-way during your reno claiming they miscalculated or market rate gone up after achieving your commitment with low price attraction otherwise they’ll abandon your job).

• Choose a company with more than 20 good reviews.

• Choose a company that’ll give you proper warranty minimum 30 months for workmanship & material.

• A contractor’s price should always be lower than ID firm by min. 30%

If you hack any BTO tiles it’ll affect the warranty = void.

Hmmm... I thought we gotta report the defects within 7 days after collecting keys?

 

[hweephing84]

Once your grant is approved u need to follow tightly with the officer, meaning call, e-mail, to check key collection date.
