Agree with pinkpetter that you should get more quotes to compare. But there's quite a number of carpentry, which is always a killer. By the way, did the contractor charge you for hacking the existing carpentry? For the cupboards below the window, maybe you can consider either just changing the doors & keep inside, or hack all away and install shelves. Quite a nice way to display stuff.

Oh, my contractor told me that it's not very good to overlay wall tiles. Something about the cement may not hold on to the overlaid tiles well, and may slowly slide down. Not too sure if it's true, maybe u wana check it out?

hi hi, welcome. the kitchen cabinets looks really good. no need to replace, but the bedroom 2 cabinets u also keeping right? btw, the aluminium bi-door doors, that they quote u, how does it looks like? What about the door frames, included? wait they charge u another amt for door frame and lockset huh. be careful. hmm, but the overlaying part is too expensive!

agree w the rest that for overlaying, this quote is considered expensive.

How abt ur WC and basins? I noticed its supply n install. They may buy cheaper WC n sinks to install n that wouldnt cost them much. I suggest u buy urself n get them to install, at least u get to choose wat u want.

Take more quotes n compare... dun rush ba...

thanks for all replies and advices, we will take note! agree the quotation given was rather high, we will check out more contractors this sat. any recommendations?

yah, i am now considering porousway, they quote me 2 toilet floors for $1300. i tot tats pretty reasonable but dunno how long they can last. http://www.porousway.com/

mmm Parents strongly opposed cos they insist that it is very difficult to clean. but I thought that the finer ones are ok. Looks nice....

Today we went to Cellini at Loyang Drive and bought a couple of stuffs.

All for $3196. cheap? we went to S & C at AMK but they not opened so end buying at Cellini =P

can't resist!

congrate on your purchase and welcome to the east...

I was aiming at the exact bedframe and sofa! The sofa really nice right? That time they had some promo, sofa/bedframe/console for $2k or so.. but i cant find any tv console i like so gave up this offer in the end. But still drooling over the sofa!

hehe! yup promo still on, sofa+bedframe+tv console+coffee table=$1998, we top up $100 for king size bed frame and bought the 12" mattress as well. i tot it was a pretty good buy. the sofa is nice but i actually prefer the white one but have to top up another $100 to change the color so we got this black one instead. quite happy!

I was very tempted by this promo also!! Cos it looked so classic and it's from a good brand... But I had no choice ba no budget.

Well i think black sofa is always a better investment in the long run...

Hee... Good choices on ur sofa and bed!
