For your reference, I have a 3A resale flat about 73 sqm. no built-in furniture in house, whole house hack and lay with homogeneous floor tile, wall tile in kitchen n 2 toilets. 14ft built in bottom cabinet. so far the cheapest quota i get is about 35K from a contractor, including electrical work but not cover sanitary n hob n hoods blabla. Still searching for a cheaper contractor... If you can find a cheap contractor, then 40K should be enuf. Floor and wall tiles are the main parts suck money, my quotation hacking plus lay all the tiles cost almost 15K

Hi, in the end we choose the cheaper one, coz even the more expensive one, I still have to renovate, so why not to choose a cheaper one and spend the difference on renovation. I may going to look for contractor soon, coz the flat owner is JTC, very strict on procedures, only allow one day for contractor visit house.

Hi dils, many thanks for your detailed quote. Now roughly have an idea of reno cost. Reason I want to hack tiles is the HDB has 30+ years, the unit is owned by JTC, and rent to foreigners previously. I dun think those tenants will maintain them well. So play safe, we plan to redo toilets and kitchen completely.

Hi, Jordon, many thanks for your quote. Yes, we will go for contractor as we dun wan those fancy reno.

Hi All, My wife and me are comparing 2 different units in the same building. Both are 3A model, around 73 sqm. But first one is totally no renovation at all, its purely empty inside, the second one has renovation and price is 25K higher than first. We prefer the first one as give us more freedom for renovation. But just unsure about the reno cost. Can anyone help us by estimate a cost of below works. Living room & 2 bedrooms Overlay engineered floor on existing one. Kitchen Cupboard around 3-4m long, hack all wall tile and floor tile, redo, change refuse chute. 2 toilets Basically hack all and redo, except water pipes as upgraded during HIP. Whole unit Change main door, 2 bedroom door, store room door, add kitchen sliding door. Re-route whole unit's electrical wiring. Lighting, switch and socket all change new. Wall painting whole unit. Can anyone help to estimate if above works can be done ard 20-25K. All tiles and cupboard assume using normal one, and those popular among others.This is our first time to buy a house and totally no experience on renovation. Thank you very much!
