oh yah...includes the hacking of kitchen and toilets, remove the window grilles, a wall, remove 3 bedroom doors, practically everyting in the house which i don't want & remove + haulage....

For my kitchen, will also be using the 800x800 blacks tiles, so to contrast with my white cabinets.

service balcony and balcony tiles are 600x600 tiles

toilet tiles (floor and wall) will use 300x600 tiles

kitchen and service balcony wall tiles will be 300x600

Just the floor tiles for kitchen, living/dining, 3 bedrooms is more or less 10k.

I think the tiles I've chosen are ex..that's y add on to the cost.

The kitchen entrance is 2.2m, whereas BR3 is 2.6m

Balcony ard 2.6m too

Other costs not yet confirmed:

I will have a L-shaped kitchen (L portion for the sink)

- includes 2 door tall cabinets

- might have a suspended kitchen

- Anti-slam drawers and doors

Cabinets at the Service balcony to conceal the big pipe and also storage place.

Shoe Cabinet @ entrance of house

Wall Feature for the 40"/46" SONY TV

Book Shelves and suspended table for the study room = BR3

Wardrobe for my MBR = $2-3k(depending which ID does the job)

Will probably not have wallpaper though I love it.

cos 2 colleagues of mine commented that unless we're very sure theres no seepage or leakage of water on the walls, else will ruin the wallpapers. - And this one...hard to guarantee unless i stay there whole year round and check every walls.

so in this way, I helped hubby save $3k le.....

hahah ORH then liddat 3k is ok la...

WAH then your reno costs will go beyond 30k.....

Our budget was 60k for renovation + furnishing.

hope to have renovation around 40k.

then rest of furnishing will be about 20k.

Will go and negotiate with the contractor again.

One thing I like about this contractor, is that, we pay at the end when handing over.

Will arrange contractor go down after 1st appt to do exact measuring, then he will re-quote the exact again.

The last time I did my 4 rm, was less than 20k renovation.

but tat time oni did granite flooring, kitchen, wardrobe, and aircon.

now is MORE...and lots of hacking....

WaH ok ok since you're prepared for the costs. 40k should be more than enough?

Wah this contractor pay at the end?? in full? Good leh.. then he has to do nice nice for you...

he did my parents' flat 19 years ago.

then my flat 5 years ago, and now again.

And each time we pay all at the end.

He didn't even ask for deposit.

he is one nice uncle. So the next meet up, I'm going to tell me my budget is abit out le.

cos got to factor in the furnishing. Really headache. Did have a budget, but it will be great if everything is less than that. hahaha

yes yes I'm sure since you're a loyal customer he will try for you. Seems like we have another nice contractor uncle coming right up.

Dear all,

need a favour...

where can i find reasonable pricing and honest salepple for lightings and toilets acessories?

Want to start shopping and look around.

And also, I want to rent a small-sized lorry for moving my items.

Lightings I went to A Lighting and DK Lighting along Geylang Road. Both are family run businesses.. not too bad.
