Thanks a mil!.....

You must get your contractor/ID to indicate price of the wall and floor tiles, the max amount you are entitled to choose. Now may look cheap but if they tell you can only choose tiles below $2.50psf, that's very risky cuz the nicer tiles we saw ranges between $3psf to $3.80psf. You may have to top up quite a bit if that's the case.

Windows quite expensive. Mine whole house plus wrought iron for living and common about $2,200. And tempered glass shower screen at common at $550.

But carpentry pricing looks okay.

Wall & floor tiles all quoted at $3/psf. Your windows is aluminium sliding with glass panels for living and 3 bedrooms?

Yes - mine is aluminium sliding for living, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 toilets. Changed all, except wrought iron for only living and common/guest room.

hmm, mine's without grilles. only the sliding windows. you have any pics of your hm to share?

Mine also without grills, only have grills for living and common.

Have you started you renovation already?

I see that your contractor quote you laminate flooring.

Both laminate Flooring and solid wood flooring have their pros and cons but usually if you do not mind paying more, solid wood is the preference to compressed wood. Beside solid wood flooring allow you to do refurbishment (restoration by grinding the surface), which can be seen as a better long term investment.

If you are considering wood (e.g. parquet) flooring for your house, I can provide recommendation which you can save some money by working directly with the wood flooring specialist (reduce middle man markup).
