Status @ 10 Oct

Looking at my home pics folder, i realised that over the fasting month i've only took pictures of the house ONCE. Feeling guilty about it, i rushed to the site to snap a few pics, and here's one that compares well to the architects rendition.

Payment?
Manage to sort out the payment issue with the bank, and it seems like process problem alright... can't say much about that, except that i am so disappointed with the delays despite us being cooperative and giving them whatever letters, invoices, receipts for them to proceed with the payment, but Alhamdulillah (Praise Allah) the contractor never slowed down the construction and continued on with their work on schedule.

Budgeting?
When the contractor quote their price, you have to know that it does not include government charges (we still have no idea yet how much it is), aircons, aircon piping (average $300 per aircon unit), alarm (depends on numbers of doors/windows), lights & fans. You have to set aside budget for other necessities too like fridge, cooker/stove, microwave, TV(s), curtains... depends on number of windows and material/design... and for those home theater enthusiasts or those IT buffs, let your contractor know your needs (LAN points, speaker points, cable TV outlets etc) before they quote cos it'll cost more if they charge it as an additional job compared to being included in the outset.


Anyway, here are the pics:
