All the prices quoted by big firms ID was really huge, came in close to $45-$50k just for my new 5 room bto. My husband and I simply could not afford such huge budget as getting a home had already caused us to wipe out our entire savings and cpf.
Listening to most of the horror stories of renovation scams and bad contractor, we went with the more reliable contractor which my sister used for her renovation 2 years ago
As we had already know what we want in our new house renovation, we decided to went with direct contractor, the prices were also quite similar other than my contractor which actually give us quite a decent price to work with. We managed to squeeze in quite alot of things from our contractor.
My total cost of renovation costed me close to only $35k for vinyl floor, 2 toilet overlay, kitchen cabinets, 3 wardrobes and feature wall + all electrical and plumbing works. So I guess we saved about $10-$15k from the next nearest cheapest quote, and we took the remainder to buy our furnitures and lightings.
I guess thats not including that the chances that desginers will charge me extra for every things not listed in the contract. My contractor did alot of extra stuff for us even though it was not listed in the contract. Even though the whole renovation was to be done in 2 months as stipulated in the contract, my contractor did it with 6.5 weeks allowing us to move in just before this chinese new year.
Hi Wendy, can you share your contractor's details? My email is kay.yan@hotmail.com, thank you!

I bought a 4-Room Resale flat near Serangoon Nex. The entire renovation journey has been very tiring as there are a lot of planning to be done, running around like a mad dog looking for ideas, stuffs to buy , etc.
In addition, I am quite of a perfectionist which most IDs and Contractors will probably run away upon hearing my requests and complaints. =P
Hence, that is the reason why I will like to recommend my contractor as not only had he been very patient but the chemistry to work together is there.
To top it off, they provide quality workmanship and very good quotes. (I ran around and did some comparisons with other ID Firms which I decided to end up with a contractor instead.)
Details as follows:
Contractor In-Charge of My Project: Nicholas
Company: HFH Design & Build
(There are already alot of good review about this renovation company if you search around.)Lighting:
If you want to look for unique lighting and designer fans, you can probably pay a visit down to L-Win Gallery located at Balestier.
The boss name is Richard and he will provide you some good ideas on how to brighten up your house.
As you can see from the pictures below, my LED light comes with 3 different kinds of shade which can be changed via flicking of normal switch.
His shop has some good pieces and range to choose from.
Details as follows:
