Advice from other buyer(s)
- You have to know the scope of works for plumbing and know the design before you get any work done. If it’s an existing building, then there’s not much to be done. You need a licensed plumber as well. Sanitary areas require regulations. For different kinds of building, eg private, HDB, JTC, different requirements apply and each need approval before works. Look out for the plumber’s experience. –(Chua Chong Teck, electrical project manager)
