Sure no problem, but have to take into consideration how much things to hack off and it's better to bring your contractor to have a look at your place 1st before asking him to quote you. My quote for hacking quite high due to ex-owner left back a lot of wall cabinets and i want to remove every single item. :D

ok...taken note of this..my house is quite bare..in fact no fixed cabinets or items...maybe more costs on lightings and electrical wirings reworks

Then you need not worry so much on the cost of hacking.. in fact you can ask for reduced $$ if you feel they quote you on the High side. :yamseng:

Make the wall smooth and painting of whole house.

Should be ard $2000.

Making the wall smooth means plastering or?

Any idea how much it will cost for a 5I flat? 121 sq m.

Thanks!
