Nope, none for mine. There's neither a/c units nor cabinets.

I also have to spend extra to hack the walls to install the extra copper piping.

Nais.

Nothing much can be done about the S&P, it's always not in the favour of buyers.

I always get the feeling we are selling our souls to the devils.

If they are, would that affect your decision to buy it or not buy it?

My experience was that is took them 4 months to rectify defects & in that time, I lose out on my maintenance fees & also on my insurance.

Out of curiosity bro, how much does the ID cost?

I believe the some units also came with A/C units if am not mistaken.

Also, the later units also has a plus point. They include the copper piping for the a/c whereas the earlier batches like mine (Block B) are forced to hack the walls to install them.

True, but it'll increase the size of my bath area (which for me is important) in the already cramped bath area.

To reduce cost for the sliding glass door, I'll reuse the glass panel and shift it to the bath tub area.

The screens look good.

Sodeska.

Nais, you save quite a fair bit already there for reno.

Yea, it's the 'in' thing nowadays. I got the idea from a hotel in BKK last month and was thinking to myself I could reuse it and avoid throwing it away.

I've got a quote for the master toilet sliding glass door and it was 1k plus.

Artist rendition for my unit.

It was designed by Sky Creation. Told them the idea I had planned in mind and they fleshed it out.

Renovation finally kicked off. The wiring for the alarm was installed.

Initially was sold on brick wallpaper but in the end opted for brick wall tiles.

Wow wee. That's will cost a pretty penny, unless you're in the contraction line.

Nowadays you can never be too safe bro after hearing too many horror stories. Will also connect the alarm to CMS for extra peace of mind.

Wet works, hacking, wiring only is about 40k plus bro.

Yea, should be thereabouts. Furnishing & fittings is the killer.

It depends bro. Some ppl can shift in with minor reno (less than 40k) & some can even spend more than 100k on extremely elaborate reno. To each his own.

I wanted to move in before CNY this year. Now have to change to before Raya.

Just a rough estimation judging from the number of cars in the car park, it's about 5%.

Anywho, just went to take a look & found that the bathtub has been removed. Progress is faster that I expected and I hope it stays that way.

Nais, love the built in cabinets.

How much was it all in all?

Sodeska. Should have went for built in cabinets but instead took the other route of buying and matching furniture from various places.

Block C or D yea?

Here is my crib, just recently completed reno.

All in all estimated 120k inclusive of fittings, furniture, wet works & misc.

lol, belum siap lagi. The most costly item would be the plaster ceiling and some cosmetic walls.

Still waiting for sofa and misc. items to arrive.

Here is another couple of pics.



I always share with fellow owners that a renovation budget depends entirely on themselves.

40k renovation can get you a basic place to stay with minor hacking plus budget or medium cost fittings. If you're planning to rent the place, this is the best way to go.

You can even go lower still by not using build in cabinets and going to Courts.

As for myself, I chose to go with a major overhaul of my master bathroom & splurged on the basin and shower area, a comprehensive alarm system, wallpaper, brick walls etc. etc.

Irregardless, most ppl will exceed the original intended budget unless you are a veteran or very disciplined.

Lol, it looks pretty good.

I happen to see another unit which went with the wallpaper brick tiles for their entire unit but still doesn't look as good as the real ones.

That's why decided to spend more on the real ones.

Yea, it's for the study bro. Tbh, I'm unsure what type of wood it is.

Got it from wood & steel. I was comparing the prices for an Ikea shelf for that size and it was similiar. Furthermore this design is more unique, hence this one was the clear winner.
