Hi Pinkpetter:

I found out that some items are overpriced.

Nevermind, I am waiting for more quotes.

Dismantle of cabinet should be FOC one ma..

Debris removal and floor protection mine alsoFOC!

Wonder yours still got GST or not?

Mine defitnatly cheaper than yours!!!

Is it? Please give me your contractor numbers then.

Thanks

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.

Good luck with your selection

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.

Very proud of u too

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.

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

maybe can dismantle ourself,haha

Huh, how to dismantle urself? you pro leh

Wow, then u can earn p/t money in helping pple to dismantle, haha
