Hi Everyone, Im Benjamin Tan. I have a unit at 8-1. I have been submerge at this forum to read n keep quite until some time i thought i was banned from the 1st post when i cant reply.
luckily i start to search for cascadia forum again. and here i am.
I am planning to move in by end of 2012. My wife and I are in the midst collecting quotation and hunting down all necessary things for the house.
I do hope anyone can help to advise on some concerns I'm having:
1. Do we have a water tank on our roof? I planned to install booster.
2. How is the best way to covers up the upper floor yard area?
3. Are we able to cover up the porch? with polycarb material.?

i m looking for contractor for kitchen cabinet, electrical, and grill. Any good recommendation?
thanks if you can share some info.
appreciate and thanks in advance.

I found you guys finally!! After a while of not seeing any new post in the old thread, I thought everyone must be soooo busy doing reno.

On my side, I have been a very lazy man. Haven't even submitted my defect form yet.

Checked with Ambank a few weeks back on the property evaluation, hoping to get a top up loan for my reno. Apparently they can provide that as a separate loan from my home loan.

They came back to me that no actual sales transaction yet, so difficult to determine the market price. Based on their evaluation, it's only ard 400K! I decided to wait longer and ask them again.

My unit is upper unit intermediate. My valuation.from OCBC was rm450k during early may. I'm waiting for loan agreement arrangement from the babk staff.

I've not done it yet. Still considering whether to cover whole area or just half. Just dropped by Hunny's house. I think her contractor can give cheaper price.


Added on June 5, 2012, 11:12 pm

8-1? Mine is 6-1 so I guess we are next door neighbors. smile.gif

Anyway, my renovation work should be completing in a few weeks and I'm moving in during the last week of this month. You can check out my contractor's work by then and see if you'd like to have him to do yours.

I just have my grill installed yesterday and satisfied with the quality. I am going through a renovation company and not deal with the grill maker directly. He charged me RM4200 for my upper unit. Do you think that the price is reasonable? I can give you the contact if needed.

Yes, it is fully covered. I believe J&J Reno has multiple contractor. The first contractor asked me to top up RM350 from RM4200 for the design. I am not happy with extra charge and feedback to J&J Reno. After that, they assigned different contractor to handle my case.

Wongtai, which unit is yours? So that i can view ur design n compare the price range.thanks for info....

Hello Wongtai,

We oso do our grille from J & J.  We staying opposite u.  Installing this Sat.  Ben Tan, this is the grille fella that i told u earlier that I was kind of irritated with them.  Actually nothing to do with the boss.  His blurr assistant and always MIA makes us vy mad.  Actually J & J got other contractor to do our grille....and one moment said need to tambah charges for the extra grille....and keep on tambah charges from what we have agreed earlier.  So we told them u cannot little bit things oso want to tambah.  So in the end we said if you tambah some more u no need to do.  We can ask other contractor to do.  So they dare not tambah any more.
Cheers!

I have complaint this to Bolton Site Office. Siti said need to get the in-charge person verify first and get back to us. I am not sure how soon they will get back to us. If no action taken by them, I will escalate it to Vijay in HQ. Thanks, Hunny.

The area out side the kitchen window on the 2nd floor is belongs to upper unit? Lower unit have no right to use that area unless ask for approval from owners?
