  1. Hi namja, can you PM me the contact of the contractor as below pls? suppose you have stayed in your house for a while now alr...how is the workmanship..any issue so far? the contractors have a company based here?

    __________________________________________________

    Hi Namja,

    Carpenters usually quote by PFR (per foot run). Several factors contribute to the PFR pricing:

    - height

    - whether you have sliding doors

    - doors with glass

    - etc.

    For HDB , the full height is usually about 2.6meters. Therefore the cost for a full height wardrobe that spans 6 feet width would be calculated as such:

    6 x $300 pfr (not psf as mentioned by benetay) = $1,800

    The market rate really differs between IDs (Interior Designers) to sub-contractors (eg. carpentry workshops). ID firms generally perform a higher mark-up as they engage sub-contractors to construct the wood-work items.

    I went direct to a carpentry workshop to get mine done previously and I believe I enjoyed cost savings of at least 20-30%.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers!

  2. I need electrician to do the same too Pls PM me, many thanks
  3. Share my nightmare with M1 Case 1:Moved house so applied for home broadband relocation service and recontracted to the 1Gb plan. Service was activated at the new address in May.Problems:1) June's bill was still sent to the old address.2) My billing cycle is that I'll receive bill at month end with pre-payment for next month eg. May's bill payment for period 20 May - 19 Jun. Received June's bill at end June and no adjustment made to the plan rate for previous bill and I was still being charged the old non contractual rate instead of $39.=> Called M1 Customer Service on 3 Jul and told them the above 2 issues. Their reponses:1) Their system was still showing my old address as the billing address. Conclusion: I was like what???! Isn't it common sense that the new address should be the billing address when I'd applied for relocation service? You mean I still need to call the billing team separately to inform them that i've new billing address??????????!!!!!!!! My goodness that shows how inefficient the processes and systems are in M1.2) Their system was showing I was on the old non contractual broadband plan and not the $39 plan.Conclusion: It's been more than 1 month since the new service was activated and yet they have the guts to tell me their system was showing I'm subscribed to the non contractual plan!!!!!! That shows how super duper lousy and not synchronised their systems are, more than a month and still not populated with the updated info?????!!!!Hey M1 (aka Moron#1), your systems suck and you fix it, not ask your customers to suffer. => Billing team said adjustments will be made and reflected in next bill. Comes Jul bill and adjustment was indeed made but the incorrect amount. Called Customer Service again and they said the adjustment was made based on the new service start date of 3 Jul (the day I first contacted them). NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how many times do i need to repeat the whole story and apparently their system still didn't have the updated info of my new service effective in May and it's already Jul, 2 months later!!!!!!!!! So they offered to waive and made adjustment (again). Comes Aug bill and they still couldn't get the bill correct!!!!!! Simple math that a primary school kid can do and yet they can't, what a 'brilliant' team. The previous bill adjustments was correct but they 'act smart' to do more adjustment which only result in me being charged double!!!!!! For 3 consecutive months they couldn't get the bills correct and each time I've to do the calculations and call them this is the correct amount to be charged!!!!!MORON MORON MORON Case 2:When the service was activated at the new address, new modem was brought in as original old modem couldn't support the 1Gb service. The installation guy didn't take back the old modem, and when I asked him if that's still required, he said no.Problem:4 months down the road, Moron #1 'suddenly remember' that they didn't collect back the old modem and so they decided to charge me $200++ for loss/damage of old modem.=> Called them and told them it's their installation guy's fault who had forgotten to take it back. I asked him if required anymore and he said no. I simply heard what he said and discarded it eventually 2 months later. Apparently they very much insisted on me paying them $200++.Conclusion: M1 has no integrity, their employees made mistake and they made customers pay for it. I was merely listening to what their staff said: NOT REQUIRED. So are they saying that their staffs' words cannot be believed? because they don't know and they simply say whatever they like. Am really DxLxn with them, if not for the contract in place, will stop using their broadband service man.... told all my friends and colleagues of their behaviour and better don't be their customers otherwise will only cry father cry mother everyday. If they die die want me to pay that $200+++, fine, will pay them, will take it that I'm donating to a beggar, a #1 MORON beggar.

  6. I randomly walked into a curtain shop in those HDB town centre to enquire price for day&night curtains for living + 2 bedrooms and was quoted about $1500, very expensive man!! My budget is only max $1000, any recommendation of curtain maker that fall into this price band?? TIA
  7. I got 1 quote and it's between $130-$150pfr for custom made settee cum cabinets, shoe cabinet, tv console, suspended table, vanity cabinets. Rate reasonable?
  8. Thanks for the tips, will take note it's pfr. Yes i went direct to contractors and not id as i know they mark up the prices by who know how many times, just so they can pocket big profit hah!
  9. Hi, me n honey finally gotten our key to our new home and now waiting for quotes from contractors. May i know what's the market rate for works like tv console/low height cabinets/platform bed? First time doing renovation and unfortunately got tight budget so hope get some tips so as to avoid being chopped by the contractors! Tks
