Relacker

My cost further slashed when the electrician told me that with my design i.e. a false celing with fluroescent lights at the side only for the 'balconey' area , altogether with the lightings and the installlation of water heater and re-wiring of power points will be $800 only instead of 1.5k. but today saw the ceiling that got crack, gotta tell the HDB town council contractor liaoz

fridge and cement base for the whole kitchen cabinet all inside the quote The cabinet is all there, the carpenter went down to my house to see. So if u scroll up above the post u will find the layout of my house and u can calculate the whole kitchen cabinet. We dun intend to use washing machine base. The tile we will buy ourselves as we have a good contact and charge $1.70/pc for 600x600 homoG tiles, deal done and tiles booked. So we pay the contractor only the labour. I went down to his on going project and i like his workmanship. Right now , i am very satisfied because we put in the effort to find the best and the most value for money contractors and everything working out well

today i have the quote. The Carpenter quote me 6k for: 1. Kitchen Cabinet 2.Custome built wardrobe 3.Shoe cabinet with Seatting place beside. So far my cost is: Wet works: ~ 5k Carpentry: ~ 6k Electrical works: ~ 1.5k So far on track to reach my budget. I also source around for ideas with those ID firms and then I implement myself using Google Sketchup , then the carpenter will know what i want! here's my latest design after borrowed" ideas from Design firm , we decide to have a roller-shutter to put our miscellaneous stuff., also instead of seeing the fridge we will see my Krups Expresso machine as the fridge opening will be block by the wall with the initial idea.(see above posting) Enjoy!

All i can say is u r very thorough in ur check liao, me and wifey also havent' check real carefully. how many months we have to check and report the faults??

Hi , i saw nowadays instead of just Lbox , can do a like false ceiling with flourescent light holders and the effect throws the light out, given a warm glow to the living room. i ask my contractor if difficult to clean, he say yeah, even though the sides are covered up, the area where the light holders are will collect dust and not easy to clean. any body did these false ceiling can share some advice?

u redhill flat too???

My design update after my FW remind me that the drawers were missing, so i put some drawers near the sink area and also near the fridge.

I will get all the quotes from the main con, carpenter, electrician and then list down the items and the charges. Then i will released the contacts to u guys. still waiting for the quotes from the electrician and carpenter, hopefully get by end of this week.

I dun really coordinate them but e.g. with kitchen cabinet, i will ask the main con to do the cement base and electrical guy to do the wiring b4 the carpenter start. My whole family involved in it! My parents -in-law volunteer to do the inspection, my uncle will help me negotiate and do the interfacing, very interesting indeed. I truly believe this mission impossible will be possible! !! I now will also got a good contact for carpentry. I hope to do the carpentry for ~4k including kitchen cabinet, built in wardrobe. Let's see!

On my way to fulfilling MI Step 1 achieved: 1. Got already a quote for tiling : Supply Labour & raw material (cement , chemical cement , white cement , W1) $1700 To lay tiles & skirting (600x600mm homogeneous) for Living & store room. Supply Labour & raw material (cement , chemical cement , white cement , W1) $1800 To lay tiles & skirting (600x600mm homogeneous) for 3 bed rms. Material haulage , Supply sand & haulage , Debris removal. $950 To construct cement base for kitchen cabinet. $250 total $4.7k Step 1 achieved. Step2: 2.To supply & install L-box **** rm for 32ft. $320 another !!

Here's kitchen cabinet i design myself using google sketchup. I expect around ~3-4.5k for my kitchen cabinets. The sink and cooking area will be homogeneous tiles instead of solid surface, the rest of the cabinet top will be post form. Backsplash tentatively using glass. Any comments on my design , the use of homoG for sink and cooking area? all contructive advices will be appreciated

Hi, we have source our own tiles, what we need is labour for flooring + labour to clean up + raw material(cement, chemical cement, sand) cost for LV rm & 3 BD rm. approx 800-1000 sqf. Does any body know the cost. We are looking at 1.50 psf, we have been quoted $4 to 3.50 but seemed too high for us. We bought on our own homoG 600x600 tiles.
