guess your works are mainly removal + hackntile kitchen + repainting(cos patching cornice)

hacktile kitchen minimum - $3-4k liao.

repainting you need to get a contractor liao - cos you mentioned too many holes + patching

get the same contractor to do the removal+patching+repainting.

nipponpaint - they dont patch hor, unless a few very tiny holes.

Kitchen

Remove & dispose existing built-in kitchen cabinets(shoud be free)

Cost of floor tiles (psf and total) - around $3

Toilet (Common)

Labor to remove & install toilet bowl - removal is free, they usually charge installation only.

Labor to remove vanity top with basin & install basin

Install a storage water tank for use in both toilets

Labor to install shower point

Change piping for both basin & shower point

they will charge you ;

1) piping

2) install storage heater + heater wiring

3) shower point included in piping.

Hi MaCe,

Thanks for your response.

I have email my request to 2 contacts received in RENOTalk (Henry@impress21design & Mr.Ooi@Joo Hua Furniture) few days ago. But both haven't response yet.

Hope to firm a contractor very soon.

Cheers,

Kenny
