    Air con wise just go to Best Denki or courts and i believed you can get much better price.. just get the site coordinator to lias with them the timing.

    There are more bro.. If you are interested, maybe we can have a talk over it..

    My point of view is, for those bad and irresponsible company, we should shame them publicly for readers and potential new house owner to beware.

    As for those good and responsible one, we should PM instead of publishing openly because many self promoters in the forum, secondly, administrators might banned us for promoting , so I think PM is more appropriate.

    The reason for a Forum, is for discussion to get the job done. Having PMs stop the discussions. There are no rights or wrong in construction, but better management will help a long way.

    Ps. I'm curious to know those bad eggs too.

    Most incomplete quotes i have seen..

    how come there are no electrical works since you gonna hack the kitchen wall ? wiring left dangling around ?

    stainless steel water piping for kitchen and toilet ? gonna screw back the piping after hacking ?

    never re construct sink support back or kitchen cabinets ? empty kitchen ?

    good luck

    Hi msie,

    Im a contractor, not an ID.. we do hands on.. its pointless for me to give you a quotation right now as 2mths later all materials price and worker levy all increase thus my price will also increase.. its better for me to meet at your unit and let me go have a look. i can give you a quote on the spot.. for my side, need not worry about pricing. rest assured about that.

    check your pm for a rough quote..

    Just a friendly advice, its pointless for you to get so many quotes. A lot of quotes out there have a lot of hidden cost because you haven get your flat.. all will bring down prices hoping to close your deal first.. Even if you don't sign, wait till your house come you go and look for the cheapest ones, the price will not be the same anymore.. Always make sure initial price and final price are the same unless you request for more stuffs and not pay for more when it should be along with it..

    Just my 2 cents worth..

    Hi Bro,

    Thanks for the tip, but this is a flat price given by the contractor, no hidden charges as promised. Can i check is the price of 31k (est) based on the given quote reasonable for a 5 rm bto? Thanks!

    there is no definite price for any flat. No matter is 3 rooms or 6 rooms... It depends on what is your requirement. I have did 10k reno for a five room and also 40k for a 5room BTO flat.. This 40k project is hack all walls beside kitchen. 2 toilets convert to one. Living room and bedrooms re construct become one bedroom and one big living room and baby toys room.. Some more lots of carpentry works and electrical have to re run everything,

    As long you feel comfortable with the price and you feel alright with the person in charge then its okay..

    Happy Renovating..

    Hi fellow members,

    I am going to get my keys around April, and I had get around to source for ID/ contractors for a good deal. I went thru a few of them, and generally I found that contractor quote are less than ID. why is this so?

    ID are designers working in an interior design firm. They are not the ones doing the work. Basically they engage contractors to do the work for them.

    Secondly, I would like to ask some feedbacks on one of my quote ( the lowest actually :) ) and ask fellow members or experienced members and feel am I being chopped or is the pricing too good to be true?

    End of the way is how you feel with your Reno in charge ?

    Your tiling works are quite reasonable except carpentry works.

    If yours is too good to be true, then how about the ones i show you below ? hehehee

    My flat is a resale, btw..

    This is what the contractor quoted me:

    Design and planning.............................................FOC

    Haulage.................................................................$450

    Hacking of floors, walls, false ceiling, doors and cabinets..............................................................................$3,200

    Hacking and haulage should be under one item if this quote is really from a contractor ............................. $3350

    Supply and install homo floor tiles with material up to $3.50 psf at 2 toilets...................................................$1,600

    Reasonable.......

    Supply and install homo wall tiles with material up to $3.50 psf at 2 toilets....................................................$2,400

    Reasonable.......

    Install water proofing membrane at 2 toilets....................................................................................................$180

    Reasonable ........

    Supply and overlay kitchen floor homo tiles with materials up to $3.50 psf...................................................$2,200

    Reasonable....

    Supply and install L-box with cove light holder in living room and bedrooms.................................................$2,600

    Can get it done at $2300 for you..

    Supply and install kitchen cabinet top & bottom 12 ft using solid plywood......................................................$2,500

    Total 24ft ? If so, can get it done at $2400 for you...

    Supply and install solid surface top for kitchen cabinet...................................................................................$840

    Strongly don't suggest solid surface. No heat resistant and not scratch proof

    Supply and install 10 ft feature wall with floating TV console using solid plywood..........................................$3,200

    Can get it done for you at $2200.....

    Supply and install 8 ft full height wardrobe in 3 bedroom................................................................................$6,240

    Can get it done for you at $5300...

    Supply and install korea wallpaper in 3 bedroom.............................................................................................$1,050

    Contact straight from wallpaper supplier.. choose what you like and ask them install for you. Sure cheaper..

    Supply and install wooden doors with turn knob ............................................................................................$1,080

    Can get it done for you at $900

    Supply and install 2 frosted tempered glass door 10mm at 2 toilet..................................................................$1,120

    Reasonable.......

    Total.................................................................................................................................................................$28,660

    The money i have help you save is more then enough to let you get Iquartz then solid surface....................$24,790 without wallpaper..

    with Iquartz is $25,750 without wallpaper...

    The electrician and plumber will be done personally, so as to save cost.

    :thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:

    but some things I would like to ask, what is water proofing membrane? if I want to overlay toilet tiles, will they also relay new water proofing membrane?

    Water proofing membrane is a liquid apply on the naked floor. Normally its 2 layers of it. Will leave it overnight for it to dry before applying cement..

    Nope, over laying of tiles is just apply cement on the existing tiles and follow by sticking of tiles on it.

    Has your kitchen flooring been overlay before ? Has it been more then 15yrs since last reno ? If so, i suggest you hack the kitchen flooring as well.

    (The person who quoted you can't answer your question)

    2nd, is there any difference between 10mm frost glass door with other dimension?

    Shower screen normally use tempered glass 10mm which are stronger.. there are 8mm and 10mm.. 8mm normally use for doors and some windows...

    Thanks for any suggestion.

    Feel free to pm me if you need my help..

    Thanks for your comments.

    My understanding is that even if I hack the existing floor tiles instead of overlay, still we can’t ruled out the chances of pop up in the long run. After all this depends on the workmanship & quality of the material.

    Secondly, my kitchen wall tiles are still in good condition so I would have to hack the wall tiles as well if I choose to hack & replace the floor tiles.

    Overlay of flooring VS Redo a new flooring == $$$ Hacking is a sum of money there..

    Bro rajujacob, if the workmanship and quality of materials are of top notch also won't guarantee you a problem free situation..

    Why ? Because it gotta depends on the person who did your waterproofing last time. when we overlay the flooring indirectly its giving the floor more pressure thus the water will leak to your neighbour downstairs IF your waterproofing is not strong enough..

    Just for your info, you can try go to your floor trap, open it and use your finger to try to dig the side area just below the tiles.. If you can dig out sand the i suggest you don't do overlay.. this method is not proven ah..

    End of the day its a matter of lucky or unlucky.. Over my 6yrs in this line as a main contractor I've only met 3-5 such incidents..

    As for your quotations, you can get $800 cheaper..

    Bro needahome, i believed everyone of us need one as well.. hahaha

    There are no measurement stated in your quotation thus unable to judge your carpentry works.

    Install heater $200 ?? WOW.. just to drill a few holes and connect wiring ?
    HOLLOW doors $1350 ? you can get solid door at $1200..
    Provide the measurement then can tell you more ok ?
    cheers~~

    You must be joking.. You are already in this forum for FOUR YEARS and i believed you are from Gek Jin Contractors Pte Ltd or ever engaged them which stated in your profile so i guess you know the market rates well enough then to try to play a fool of me here..

    Dear contractorprice,

    What is the price for a 6ft India black galaxy granite slab (for kitchen cabinet top)?

    ask my best friend name google.. it will show up companies supplying that. call them and ask them to measure and install and pay them.. whole singapore IDs and contractors look for them..

    If you are not happy with their price then you can forget installing that.. :)
