Breaking down a $60,000 renovation | Japandi | Singapore HDB Renovation

The renovation for our 4RM HDB BTO resale flat is complete! We're so glad that many of you enjoyed our Japandi Home Tour video. In this video, we break down exactly how much we spent on our home renovation in 2022. We got our quotations in 2021 so be sure to adjust for inflation on for your own renovation. We go through how much we spent on hacking works, tiling and flooring works, plumbing works, carpentry works, glass works, electrical works, aircon works, painting works. The costs for all these things are included in the video. We also have some tips for you for how to save money and budget for your renovation. We also wasted some money due to poor planning. But we hope that you will be able to learn from our renovation mistakes!

For neutral cable, please take note, let said you have 3 x 2 gang switches in that area, you only need 1 neutral cable, and from there you tap to the other switch. don't need to lay 3 neutral cables separately.

I'm just wondering why you can't have slightly different levels for the bedroom and the living area. Is it so important to be level?

It's not too expensive and at least it is possible without excessive disputes and delays in Singapore. The building industry is definitely a major mess in Australia.

is it easy to clean the kitchen since there is no tile backsplash and there is only wall now?

[yenkwang]

Hi, may I know how much it cost to fabricate a kitchen island?

[elkansim]

Hi can i know how much does it cause to hack the existing floor tiles in your resale flat and laying of the new tiles?

[wonderbuffon]

Great video and thanks for the tips! But what do you mean by BTO Resale flat, is that a new flat type?

[leonliang]

Hi, i'm thinking to plaster over my kitchen wall titles too, but i heard have to see the condition of the existing wall tiles first. Any comment on this? :)

[yeowanfui]

Hi, may I know the laminate code you used for your kitchen?

[KoKoThePomeranian]

Do you mind to share more about the plastering of kitchen wall tiles? Any recommendation?

[lishr]

also which vendor did you use for your bathroom doors? :) sounds reasonable

[fishingwithmakarony]

Hej! These wooden fronts in kitchen on bottom, what are they made of?

[hanthehan]

Hi I noticed you did not hack away all your tiles in your living room, but you have new living room tiles. May I know if you simply overlayed the new tiles onto the old tiles? Thank you!

[zaqqer]
