yokine9a 1 Report post Posted February 11, 2009 Yup, agreed that some items are a bit overpriced. You should get a quote from rondy's contractor to compare, can find the contact in rondy's signature.

yokine9a 1 Report post Posted February 11, 2009 You might also want to consider going to Supreme for the laminated flooring job... going thru your contractor would mean that he might incorporate a commission for being the middleman. If you are not a loyal Supreme supporter, you can consider this brand Inovar... rondy used it & no complaint... both are made in M'sia but Inovar is cheaper than Supreme. http://www.inovafloor.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yokine9a 1 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 u also ask him to quote ah?! Me?? No lah, I did my hse reno early last yr liao... Used a contractor well recommended in this forum. I gave your contractor's contact to my colleague who just gotten his resale hse keys... however, dismantle of cabinet, haulage & derbris disposal were not FOC for my colleague... he was quoted $500 for these work... maybe bcos he didn't want to do much & his total quotation was just $7K+... unlike your case, $27K+ with so many FOC items.

But $500 is a lot, even $200 I find it expensive at current "atmostphere"..... must "squeeze" them. Else I ask Bangali to clear loh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yokine9a 1 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 This is the breakdown for my colleague's quote: Dismantle prayer cabinet in living hall $100 Dismantle kitchen cabinet $220 Haulage & derbris disposal $180 Oh yes, no 7% GST charge & pricing is pretty the same as Ho Bee... very competitive. My colleague just gotten married with a newly bought car... he told me he really has no $$ liao... he is not planning to stay in the resale flat for long... will sell it once he gotten a flat from HDB... so just want to do minor work lor... in the end his final bill would definitely be < $7K. Yap, if one can get those cleaners to do your job, definitely cheaper than getting contractor... diff labour charges mah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
