Hi, I'm a new owner of a 4rm flat & I needed to seek advice on renovation works coz I've been quoted "unbelievable" prices for works which I thought that should not cost so much. The previous owner was really a typical "#@#@#". I bought it coz it has potential. So here are my problems, Needed to redo 2 bathroom floorings & replace with shower cubicles, remove an old bathtub. Hack the cabinet (made of tiles) cum wash basin in both bathrooms. Kitchen cabinets needed refurbishing works as well as some hacking (the cabinets are really old & too big) Hack a few feet of waist high wall separating the dining area & living room (then need to touch up the ceiling plaster) Needed to do rewiring too as the flat's wires looked like it was from the 80's & it's in plastic casings. For the abovementioned works, an aquaintance of my hubby quoted $20,000K!!! I nearly fainted & am feeling very frustrated. So please help advise, I'm in dire straights!!! By the way, after reading this section, I am now very certain that renovation works need not cost that much!!!
