Hi, Can anyone share your flooring quotation for homogeneous tiles with the new pre-packed screed. I got 4 quotations for a 4 room bto flat for living room + 3 bedrooms. Is the pricings reasonable? Pls recommend your tiler if they have good workmanship. 1. $8400 (tiles of $3.20psf) 2. $7800 (tiles of $2.80 psf) 3. $7500 (GST not included yet, company charge GST, tiles of $3.80psf) 4. $8300 (tiles of $3.50psf)

From what I understand from contractors is that tiles is thicker and the cement screed must be done so that all is level with no gradient so the tiles will be even. If HDB do the screed for us, it maybe not be level and the contractor have to do a check on the whole screed and if not done well they may have to hack and do all over again so they might as well do it from scratch. Not sure if my understanding is correct.

Hi Lucidacid, Are you doing tiles or laminate for your living room + 3 bedrooms? Can share your quote if you are doing tiles.

Cement screed is also needed for tiles. Appeal for hdb screed is for vinyl or laminate flooring not for tiles. Can anyone share ur flooring quote with the new screed?

Hi Ahyong81, I wrote to HDB, their reply is about the same as yours. They cannot comment if a 2-3K increase is reasonable or not, just say to get more quote to compare. But they did mentioned based on checks within the industry, the use of pre-packed material for typical renovation works in a 5rm unit flat is estimated to cost about $1500 or more. They say increase in price should not be substantial but I think otherwise. 2 contractors both told me 2-3K increase, how am I going to find a contractor who will quote less.

But isn't it true that this new screed is more difficult to use thus result in higher labour cost. As this is a new implementation, thus there's no benchmark for it. So contractors are quoting based on what?

Actually the $4+k flooring quote is from my bro 5 yrs ago reno. So how much estimate would it be for this prepacked cement for a 4rm flat?
-
But above u mentioned that previously doing a 1500 square feet rm cost $750 but now will $1500. Isn't this a multiplication of 2 meaning double increase?
-
Hi, I think the price increase is a lot as its almost double. Imagine when last time to lay tiles for living room + hallway+ 3 bedrooms cost $4+K but now I was quoted a $8+K.
-
Hi Lucidacid, Yeah i think so too. I called and whatsapp Mr J no reply,guess they have a lot of projects. So got to give them a miss, cause i need to move in urgently. Btw have ur reno started?

Hi Fred, Is it true that if we are doing homogeneous tiles for our floor, it is easier for contractor to do the screeding themselves before laying the tiles? They mentioned there is certain difficulty to use HDB screed for tiling unless it is vinyl or laminate flooring. Btw I was quoted a $8+K for homogeneous tiles for living rm + 3 bedrms.

Hi, I haven't got my keys which probably is around Aug - Sept 2015 so this new screed with affect us. Recently got a quote for flooring for living room + 3 bed rooms with homogeneous tiles and it cost $8+K. We asked if we could appeal HDB to do the screeding but was told by contractor that they prefer to do the screeding themselves due to several issues especially when we are using tiles. Pls advise if this cost is reasonable.
