hi JKtan,

This contractor sound cheaper but make sure there is no hidden cost for it.

 

Can I have the contractor company name and contact cause I might need them

Hi Jktan,

Since your quotation is from Contractor, the unit costing for each item should be clearly stated. With that Contractor unit costing, you are in a better position to judge is it reasonable for the price quoted. Each item must has a pricing and not all lump together to give you a final figure of $18K.

For example, contractor pricing for top and bottom kitchen cabinet is around $240pfr. For your case 12ftX$240= $2,880. The quoted price for this cabinet should be around this range to be reasonable.

For  "supply and install window grille for whole house", is the grille only the middle portion of the window or the full height of the 3/4 window for your living room? Does it include air con ledge?

@AndrewA Yeap, They do include every respective item pricing, just that I never post it more details. Anyway, thanks for the guidance.

Hi Jktan, 

I am also sourcing and gotten a few quotations which I have studied and analysed. hahaha. =P

Just to add on: Hidden cost can be something like the measurement not clearly mentioned.
Example, 
a.  supply and construct shower screen for master-bedroom  - the measurement is missing. The contractor assumes you required only 2feet. But you thinking should be 4 feet. The difference of 2 feet makes a difference to your pricing. To avoid fingers pointing, state clearly the measurements for the benefits of both parties.

b.  supply and install 12ft Quartz top  - what is the thickness of this quartz? You assume is 20mm thick, but contractor gotten you only 13mm thickness. How to resolve? By topping up extra money? 

Without clearly stating the measurements in the quotation, both parties will second guess and lead to potential issues once renovation commences.

You can check directly with Lien Hin company- they do Quartz and Granite & Marble.

It should be 20mm thickness. and there is this single & double profiling too.
