So I started sending out request for quotation on website, and meeting some of them who actually did send me a quotation. Most of them just call and ask me to go down to their shop and we can talk =.=. If I have time to go talk one by one, why do I still use the website! Anyway I've receive quotation ranging from 23k to 31k. All exceed my budget by alooooot. Now that we have more knowledge about what to expect, after talking to quite a few ids, probably because we know what we wanted to do, the IDs didn't suggest anything that can impress us (maybe because our budget is low and they don't care? Just do what we know lor?), it's time to find contractor next. I emailed a few of the contractors I found on this forum, immediately upon receiving the quotation, you can see the huge difference compare to IDs. This time round, I didn't follow up as much as I did for IDs as we're getting tired, we end up choosing the contractor that was recommended by my friend. Reason: - Lowest quotation I received - give me quarts instead of solid top and 18ft bottom kitchen cabinet, 9ft top, much more then the standard 10ft top bottom, yet still cheaper than the rest. - Recommended by my best buddy hence less worry that he will run away~ though my friend did warn me that he's doesn't have much design sense, he can get the work done but you will have to know what you want. - Upon meeting up and chatting with him, find him quite nice In the end, this is what I'll be doing 1. supply re-lay homogeneous floor tiles sise. 600x600mm living and dining hall way 2. construct cement base kitchen ,washing machice, fridge base c/w lay tiles 3. construct cement kerb in 2 toilet c/w lay tiles 4. supply install tempered glass 1 fix panel in master toilet 5. supply install tempered glass showen sliding door comm toilet 6. supply install pvc in/outlet pipe for kitchen sink and washing mschine 7.
