Welcome Sam.

I have similar issues with odd shaped rooms.

HDb made sure we live in a "point block" !!

You can check my blog for some pics that forumer Rummi has posted of his flat. He has come up with nice ideas to utilize these odd shaped endings.

Used the space outside the master toilet to convert to WIW. For nego on pricing, give them a lump sum instead of break down costing. Items like electrical, paint work, piping including installation of the fitting and accessories, hacking jobs, cornice and false ceiling etc. For example, painting one lump sum including painting for piping, door frame etc. For carpentry costing using anything less than $80 is consider cheap, above 150 is ok, above 200 is ex!!! Costing depends on the selection of laminate, design and materials for the woodwork.

For window grille remember to ask for SOLID one, if not they will provide u the filmsy grille. Is a painful experience for my fren as he thought is a norm!!! Yr norm is not the contractor norm, as much as possible they will provide u the cheapest material available that is their norm. Hope this helps, enjoy yr reno!!!

thanks for the reply.. confirm 2nd appt on 27 oct 09.

anyway i heard good review of uncle Ah Soon.

is Jason his brother good also? cause uncle is so buzy

with his many project. i scared he cannot do my house up

in 6 weeks.

If you want it to be cheaper you can select cheaper tiles...for mine I selected $2.40psf tiles for both toilet walls...so only cost me around around 2.4k for relaying of wall tiles for both toilets...

For ah soon u got to "understand" his dark side before you proceed to engage his services. As for Jason, no comments as i have no dealing with him. Based on the review, he seems to be doing very well, hearsay that his booking till end of this year!!!

i've looked thru ur quote seems to be okay, but for the below items, he quote u bit by bit its very ex leh. u should have got the contractor or ID to give better price or just straight away 1 rounded figure.
