VERY expensive

1st time hear someone gettin reno quote from courts!

actually, did u go around those reno co as stated n recommeded by fellow forummer and make comparison? i doubt IKEA will b cheaper.... or consider gettin contractor if u only need basic work n already have ur own design in mind.

3K for piping! Someone's having a laugh at Courts. They using gold plated pipes?

I think you should source for quotes at other id or contractors ..with 40 k they can do a lot more than that.. i believe..then once u have the lowest quote go to other id to get lower price..or more free items

way too expensive i think too.. shop around first lah..

wah! this is really 'chop' ppl price!......it's a very very big markup on their end.

Courts only have furniture. The rest of the items are really very expensive.

Shop around more. This forum will provide you with tons of information.

If i am not wrong, most of the ID firms dun charge you 7% GST.

find another quote from ID.

have u tried other ID/contractors before for the same requirements?

either they dun want to do for u, quote ex-ex.. or they trying to chop u.

c Supply labour only to install self purchased Storage heater (1nos.) $350.00

d Supply labour only to install self purchased Bathrooms accessories to $350.00

the man-effort markup very high. must be highly paid workers.
