Meaning which precast concrete walls are safe to hack?

Or are those walls actually brick walls (which would be safe anyway)?

But yeah, it would be helpful to get that! I guess I'll need to inquire more.

Wow. How was it when it comes to renovation (effort, cost, contractor willing to do the job etc) e.g

- drilling in to hang fixtures
- hacking to make way for additional power point wiring
- fully demolish a wall to make way for bigger kitchen / room

Thanks!

hacking away a wall but the wall has a door way, and two windows so its just the 2 lower half got a small piece of wall. Even that took 2-3 days to complete cause concrete very difficult to hack. yup make way for a bigger kitchen, want to join the dry and wet together as my kitchen space is super small.

got indon workers to do it. i think it cost me around 4k. need to do water proofing and retiling.

Indon at 4K? Wow. That's for demolishing only, or inclusive of water proofing and retiling? Wonder what's the estimated cost for just demolishing.

Lastly - curious why the need to waterproof?
