HI all, Just got my first apartment, and doing renovation for the first time. As usual, trying to avoid getting taken for a ride. The ID is my friend's brother, but some of the stuff looks really expensive. So appreciate advice if these items are reasonable. I didn't include all the portions, but just the items which I found to be a bit high. The major work that I'm doing is to relocate my kitchen to my balcony, which would require hacking away my existing kitchen and building a new one. Help is much appreciated!! General Cost Hacking and Haulage - $3200 - Hack bedroom wall (8ft x 10 ft) - Hack exisiting kitchen base - Haulage and clear debris Plumbing/Wet work - $1800 - Relocate Drainage for kitchen to balcony - Install supply and drainage for washer at balcony Floor Protection - $800 Balcony/Outdoor Kitchen Kitchen Island (2.8m x 0.9m x 1.1m) - $4450 - Full laminate - Blum fittings I did query about the kitchen island and the reply was that cost is so high because this was fully laminated, with Blum fittings, which is apparently premium. This is just for the cabinet itself, and does not include the kitchen top. Many thanks!!
