Hi people, anyone wanting to install windows / grills can refer to this "indicative" pricing by HDB. http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10205p.nsf/WP...ndicative_Price But I find the window "indicative" price is set too high. Eg: 1 sqmetre = 10.764 sqfeet. Thus $250/sqmetre = $23.23/sqfeet (a price I personally find is too high). A useful tip is to do some self-measure of all your windows area (height x length) in inches and cm then roughtly calculate the price by the quote you get, usually in $/psf (per square feet). And you can also check your contractors if they are BCA-approved here: http://www.hdb.gov.sg/bn25/isos118p.nsf/Wi...nstaller%20Home

This is one of those I called (cos of their leaflet in my mailbox). Their leaflet claimed " HURRY! Last Days, Cheapest in Singapore" and 3panel $220, 4panel $270 for their casement windows. when I called them.. they say "that is those small windows... we need to measure yours to see exact price" etc etc. Start to feel pissed off already. Then they end up quoting like $18-20 psf for powder-coated casement windows (depending on colour you want), roughly 4-room will end up more than $2000 for windows only.

I just want to rant a bit on changing my windows in Singapore. I wanted to change my resale unit windows and thus went calling like 10 contrators/"direct from factory" numbers under the Straits Times Classfieds the past week. When calling them, I normally will specify I wanted casement + powder-coated windows-frame only, normal darken glass panel, no grills. I am willing to "downgrade" to silver frame, if too ex for powder-coated windows. It ended up most of them seems to do package ($1500 for 4rm). Some quotes from $18 - $7 psf. Some does not want to reveal their pricing, say it's $10+ .. i mean you state $10plus can range from $10 t- $19.99 right? Most of them say you want powder-coated, white is ok, other colour must add $ etc, expensive, discourage me from doing. So many of them seem to be hiding something or giving me expensive,ambigious quotes, like saying "range from $18- $20 per sq ft". Lastly I would like to say that most contractors/suppliers just want to "carrot/chop" their customers as much as possible. Some will claim SG's cheapest etc... Such a headache trying to find reliable, honest, reasonable price, so any sincere recommendations will be highly appreciated. Actually I estimated should not be >S$1.2k for my windows, from the window area that I measured. Is this really too low?

Is this the MN brand found at P0h Joo? It's call Mor-Ning - a China brand.
