Skilled labour/contractors are hard to find but you can get them. I would say check their references and try to find them on your own. When you talk to them you will be able to understand. If they do a bad job, fire them and hire another person. Building materials are expensive and you do not want to waste not only money but also time.

Hi,

We are booked a 3 bedroom apartment in Marg Savithanjali. I need ideas on some customizations.

1. How many swing hooks are required in each room?
2. How many plug points 6 amp, 16 amp are in each room esp, kitchen
3. It has all 3 attached toilets, so what are the Pros and Cons of converting 1 toilet to common.
4. The builder is giving an outer utility area and provision for washing machine there, But I'm concerned that the appliance cannot be kept outside since it is not a closed room. It might be exposed to sun and rain.
5. Are lofts required to be provided by the constructors or can it be provisioned by Modular furnishings?
6. Any other ideas?

Regards,
Newbie

Hi

My existing contractor has accepted the new schedule and they are started doing work without break.

Can you please suggest the site or models for window door, home main door.

as of now me and DH only is going to be stayed. Since both are working it should be more safe.

Please suggest your ideas about this.

1. How many swing hooks are required in each room? fan, and one extra in the bedrooms is given by builders, atleast in one of the bedrooms, though they don't do it in the exact location so as to be used later.. it depends on what you are look.. in my case for hall cum dining, we have four for fans, two for swings, 2 for chandeliers.
2. How many plug points 6 amp, 16 amp are in each room esp, kitchenl
I have discussed this in the thread link below when check out this you will have most of the details you need http://www.indusladies.com/forums/housing/5284-discuss-woodwork-and-modular-kitchen.htm
3. It has all 3 attached toilets, so what are the Pros and Cons of converting 1 toilet to common.
nothing..i would suggest that is the best way to have privacy. infact somepeople convert the toilet attached to the guest bedroom to have a two way door. i would suggest the one closer to the hall/kitchen be the common..

4. The builder is giving an outer utility area and provision for washing machine there, But I'm concerned that the appliance cannot be kept outside since it is not a closed room. It might be exposed to sun and rain.you can always cover the balcony with glass doors fitted with aluminium frame. better space and closed as you want.if you are really concerned you can put the wm in a nother place.
5. Are lofts required to be provided by the constructors or can it be provisioned by Modular furnishings?loft provided by builder is stronger and if you have some old things to be kept there, that are real heavy..otherwise wooden lofts in modular holds good. but i have a loft that runs from the kitchen to the service utility..that is around 60sq.ft..the logic was the utility need not be 11 ft..and the chimney pipe goes through that..and also i have enough loft space for the kitchen.
6. Any other ideas?
read the other thread for ideas.
