Hi Queensway

Hi Crazy

Most vendors are unable to quote on psf due to the small planter size we had, where they purchase chengai on 12, 15 ft & so on. Hence any balance being left over, they would not be able to resell it. Most can only quote on per area, unless we are talking about those units with bigger area. Then they will be able to provide the price base on psf. In addition, it also depands if the chengai can be fitted into the lift, if not, there will be manpower charges as well. The depth of the planter is also a determinating factor. lots more.... Guess would have to meet up to talk about the list of things to lookout for....

Told by some owners that the contract did specify the sqft of the planter, dont think it mention the breadth & the depth...

usually normal quote for my 2 planter area, it cost abt 1K, for bulk buy we will be getting at least some special price. Most vendor will only be able to furnish us discount we have at least 10 units. So far, we have more then that..
Kind of surprise over one of the quote given with super good price, guess would have to look at the quality before acting....

I will compile a list of the vendors that has quoted me & will share it. Will only be able to do so iin another few weeks due to tide schedules.

Hi Guys, some pics for your viewing pleasure

[GEMS]

Tks Kasper, turning left or right from the main entrance will lead u to the basement carpk.Exits should be from the same points. Its quite huge, almost lost my way inside

coming in from the entrance,

1. if turn left, the road is above surface till the back entrance/exit.

2. if turn right, you'll very soon come to a lobang which also leads you to the basement carpark. Hence, on the right half of the development there's no road above the surface

Presently, i am pretty confident on my maid. Any idea what is the price range for installing CCTV?

I think it is easier just to stick with emailing for bulk purchases matter.

As for the portal, we can discuss it in the next meet up. Anyway, we also need this kind of things for Facility booking in future.

I think I got drop off after all the editing. Just found out over Saturday when I was talking to one of the ID that we cannot use laminate with ABS for the bay window. ABS trimming though protects the laminate edge from peeling, it has a small chamfer around the edges. As some of the bay window is > 8ft, they will need more than 1 laminate to cover the entire bay window. The chamfer between these 2 laminate will leave a small visible "valley".

Solution can be simple by using laminate with post-form (technical term). Of course, best solution is to use solid top. Depending on the length of the bay window from unit to unit, it may be $400 to $500 difference but that has a 10 year warranty.

[tortu]

Another idea of the planter area is to DIY using Granite slabs (natural stone) and peebles. Apparently the granite slabs is ~$15/piece and pebbles is $20 per 10kg. This may be a economical solution for the planter and it provides a very rustic and natural feel.

Only concern is I am not sure if the planter can allow such pay load (ie, Granite Slabs and Pebbles). It is really heavy if we lay the whole planter area. Will need to ask during key collection.

[tortu]

For competitive ID quotes, one of the best way is to "hit" most ID at one stop shop. Visited Life Style 21 on Saturday and you can see that most ID are quite willing to drop their prices to meet your needs.

Most interesting ID that I came across is Rezt and Relax that offers lifetime warranty for workmanship. Not sure what that means (eg. their prices may be relative higher to factor in warranty). But the designer that discusses with us seems reasonable and sincere. Will have to wait for their quote.

UniMax Creative besides claiming that they have gotten 20 projects from Quartz, their team of designers look quite "beng" and their "Quartz Package" is at $12.8K and can even trade bay window laminate wood with solid surface at no extra cost.
