  1. It depending, if for those wall that was hacked, it will be cement screeding to make it smooth then paint. For those normal wall, they just do plastering to make it as smooth as possible. Cost for plastering whole hse is ard $2000 ~ $2500, some walls don't need to plaster then don't waste the $ on doing it, cos the workmanship of plastering doesn't mean that the wall will be straight or level, look smooth only.
  2. My comments as of the above in blue.
  3. My wall spray is also from USA , but my flooring is from Germany.
  4. Yes, the $xx/psf mean a lot to you n also to the contractor. Up to $14/psf is the marble you selecting from the tiles shop should not exceed the pricing of $14/psf, so u can only choose those marble price range below $14/psf only. The contractor can't price his marble at any price he like, cos the tiles shop had already indicated their retail price for individual type of marble. Setting the limitation to the owner for the selection of the marble was done by the contractor, the lowest $xx/psf he set to the owner, the more he may earn, although the tiles shop also give him commission for bringing the customer to them. Selecting of marble should be careful and caution. In the market, there are also compressed marble, so just be careful on that.
  5. Timber and parquet is the same...
  6. Wonder are we using the same product....hmm...
  7. If I'm not wrong, TV console shall cost ard $1K for 6~8ft. As for feature wall it ard $115pft for laminate design only...
  8. Robina, Made in Malaysia, got the right of using Pergo technology...
  9. Yes...u r able to do it...but it not easy... Deep scratches or dents may be nearly impossible to remove, but surface scratches can be blended in by using a commercial-grade abrasive pad. A 180-grit pad or higher is a safe start. The main rule is to stroke or move the pad in the same direction as the existing grain. While blending in a scratch, you may create an area that looks different from the rest of the countertop. A light, feathering stroke will tone down changes. Another option is to hand polish the entire sink for a blended finish. Deeper marks require a more aggressive abrasive pad or a backer on the pad for more pressure.
  10. He was referring to this.
  11. Its depend on the length and the design..so u got anything in mind?
  12. HDB do not have rules on how high the platform can be...as long as it doesn't exceeded the 150kg/msq...its ok with them... Some items A quoted cheaper than B some quoted higher, this was to make u hard to compare and most importantly, u won't want to be coordinating 2-3 contractors do different jobs. To really compare on different quotations, u must compare them on the final amount with the same items, dimension, design and material...of course, service, workmanship is unable to compare as u don't know at all. It best to let the contractors quote together with the other reno stuffs as the platform bed u want should be custom made to fix in the height, length, width and design.
  13. What did your contractor gives u for your kitchen cabinet?...more drawers, coloured glass cabinet, blum system?? $120pfr can consider reasonable or expensive, it depend on the material, design, etc...
  14. Any piping for the basin water inlet that are exposed? May be you can use that to do your bidet rather than hacking the wall tiles.
  15. Ard $1K la..As I said b4...it was here few hundred there few hundred that make up their earning, they won't dare to mark up too high for every items if not when u see the quotation, u also won't want to engage them too.
  16. Maybe ard that....not really happy on that
  17. What is your sq area for those rooms?
  18. U r welcome...its only few hundred cheaper here and there....that how the contractor earn...here few hundred, there few hundred...add up few thousand to over $10K~$50K.....
  19. Hi happypie, just got back from the hacker that he charges $2250 for hacking and disposal of the debris for the above mention items.
  20. If I told u I do it myself will u believe? ...
  21. Thks ossify for helping me explained to happypie
  22. Yes, I spray paint for wall tiles and do sediment for flooring. U may be right on that, hacking of tiles may be more expensive.
  23. That was why I don't compare the quote cos is hacking different things so price for hacking is very subjective. I only posted what the hacker quoted my friend on his items. To know the actual cost, I need to email the hacker on what the items happy pie wanted to do, this will be more actual and private estate and HDB also got different price.
  24. Only HDB registered contractor can apply for permit, so if they are not, they got to look for contractor that are HDB registered to apply for them.
