What is the problem? Pros and Cons

Designing the layout

Ideas

Cubinet and Cabrox

Portable & Flopla

Develop solution

We combine cubinet, crabrox, pocutable and flopla. Why we choose all is because Cubinet, Crabrox and Pocutable is the same concept of living and Flopla which is living above the sea. In this design concept we are developing an architecture style of living to bring people much more closer with the design concept we will be going to design later on.

What is the average utilities bill between two people?

Fourm user name Cressida posted this question for advise in the property in singapore Expats forum

I live in a 1184 sqft / 110 sqm condo (sorry I got the measurement wrong before). 3 bedrooms (1 being rather small and unused)

There are only 2 of us but my flatemate abuses the AC, watches TV regularly, leaves the hospitality lights on at night and frequently uses the washing machine and drier to wash just one flannel. I am not home much, just late at night and try to be environmentally friendly.

Our bills over 5 months are $239 on average which I think is way higher than it should be. I was paying $90 on average per month living on my own and back then I spent way more time chilling in the apartment. Statistically, splitting bills is normally cheaper between multiple persons as opposed to one person absorbing the full amount.

She is expecting me to pay half of that and explaining that the first second bill of the month is an estimation which can inflate the price. She also said that the apartment is "big so absorbs more electricity." We only use AC in our average sized bedrooms. I don't think that either argument stands.

Anyhow, what do you think the average SP bill is between two people in an apartment (any kind, HDB or condo.) All quotes appreciated.

There are a few reply which help the user.

$140 to $160 was my norm in a similar situation. 

Now in a 4 bedroom 1500ft2 apartment with two aircons at night (only) we pay about $230 a month. We don't have a dryer and we wash clothes every second day at most (usually every 3rd). We have four people in the house using hot water. 

Aircon has a HUGE effect as well as hotwater heaters (and dryers). 

The age and style of the aircon units may also be ineffecient. 

Your flat mate is extremely wasteful IMO but she's unlikely to give up her Singapore birthright to sleep with aircon on. Try to get her to turn it off in the day at least and use fans.

$120 on average here. In a 3 bed condo, never use aircon and don't have a dryer. 

Had a guest staying for a while and the bill went up by about $50 a month, occasional aircon I guess.

$275 - we have the air-con turned on at least 18 hours each day. just my wife and i live in a 3-bedder. we don't cook. 

i don't use hot water, but my wife does. she takes 2 showers a day, ~25 minutes in total. 

we use the washer and dryer (full load) at least once a week. perhaps a half load once or twice a month. 

among the other usual electrical appliances, we also have a hot/cold water dispenser, laptop + printer and 3 full-sized plasmacluster units that are left on 24 hours/day. 

we also keep a few lights turned on 24 hours a day.
