Hacking off partial wall tiles at Kitchen $750 + Supply material & labour to cement screed & touch up kitchen wall after hacking $500

Total I see 2 ID, 1 Contractor his price for feature wall 4ft x 4.5ft height $500 is not full height.

If quote say full height is it mean to ceiling. There's alot thing i don't know cos 1st time do reno, like no cooking.

see quote here. total $13651.

wah so small see until my eyes nearly drop out. if quote says full ht means from ceiling to floor. In my opinion i think some of the items in ur quote looks pretty ok the ones that i feel is high is the quote for your 4.5 ft tv wall and tv console. 4.5ft hor is quite small leh. is it becos of the layout of your place? if not then see whether can negotiate for an additional 1-2 ft.

your storage full ht cabinet in kitchen is not part of the main kitchen cabinets? got floor plan to see or not huh?

yeah put beside entrance, also tv cable point (near window) need to transfersummit design quote 4.5FT full height with suspended tv console at $1125

linewerkz quote 1500Lx1200Ht with tv console at $1100. linewerkz with 7%GST.

what does "Any space of work not specified in the contract shall be treated as variation" - does it mean there will be additional cost.

linewerkz - owner need to provide tiles where summit design studio provide supply tile, tile is include.

is it bad? linewerkz payment term 20% Upon Confirmation, 40% Upon Commcement of work, 30% Upon Installation carpentry work, 5% Upon Rectification of defects, 5% Upon Completion

wei wei, where did u buy to cover the window. my flat is at next to end of the corner block. can cover the window meh?

"Any space of work not specified in the contract shall be treated as variation" mean additional work will be charges ba... so.. that mean they r reminding u watever in black n white they will do accordingly.. so u better check probaly 1 by 1 if there any mistake or any lack of ur requirement.. even the dimention of cabinet lo... once is stated 10ft then they will charges u when exceed the size lo...normally id will inclu the tile ba.. if exclu that mean additional cost for tiles u hav to pay again lo.. can bargain wit them the GST ba..mine gst included.

i no cover the window bcos my feature wall not located beside entrance, normal id can use plywood custom made to cover it but mostly they do at bedroom window, not sure living window can cover or not, better check wit HDB b4 do lo..
