Hi guys,

I'm getting my house key in end of Feb. it is a basic unit thus a lot of reno shall be done.
I'm really confuse what job to do first and which of them can be done parallel. Moreover, I'm going over seas soon, left my wife to do all these thing, I hope i can support her remotely.

Below are the things I would like to do, hope you guys can advice me on this:

1. Flooring:
-------------------------
living room flooring (paint first or flooring first as afraid the paint will mess on the floor and vice versa, or plaster ceiling first as afraid the tools or stair case would scratch the floor)

generally, top to bottom, most messy to least messy, concealed installation then exposed installation.
ceiling - flooring - painting

kitchen flooring (cabinet/wardrobe first or flooring first?)
flooring first of course. built-ins always last
rooms Flooring (cabinet/wardrobe first or flooring first?)

ditto
2. Plaster ceiling + electrical + lighting + fan:
--------------------------------------------------
electrical job (i believe this one come before the paint)
electrical (concealed) first, painting always last

Plaster Ceiling ( plaster ceiling first or paint first ? as plaster ceiling need to be paint again after finished ??)
painting (on plaster ceiling too??)

3. Painting

at last are:

Furniture + electronic appliances + curtain

First house... really pening ~~  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  hope you guys can give some advice smile.gif

Your contractor should know what to do. For first timers, it is better to get a main contractor to 'pau' the different works. If something goes wrong, they always try to point fingers at each other. Better to hold one person responsible.
