- supply labour to dismantle kitchen cabinet and 3 set wardrobes $600

- supply labour to dismantle living room cabinet and glass $250

- supply labour to dismantle living room false ceiling and L box $300

-supply labour to dismantle 3 bedroom simple cornice $250

it costs total of $1400 for dismantle the above! is this the norm? i feel that it looks very expensive!

DEMOLITION WORKS

To supply labour to hack whole house wall & floor tiles incl skirting

To supply labour to hack existing sink & stove support

To supply labour to dismantle bathroom & kitchen fittings

To supply labour to dismantle kitchen cabinet $ 3,050.00

My contractor quoted me lump sum as above for my 4rm. This should give you a rough guide on the market rate for the demolition works.

Nope from contractor, that is what he quoted me. Mine is hack whole hse no walls. What i believe is there is always a price difference when we breakdown our quotation i.e contractor A might be cheaper in hacking works but carpentry works expensive and on the other hand contractor B charge more on the hacking works but carpentry cheaper a lot. So it still depends on what is our priorities before signing on the dotted line.

At the end, I believe all of us still want to see workmanship quality.

i am not doing carpentry so i don't think he'll earn from my carpentry.

that's the 'true' price for hacking. mine is hacking whole house no walls too. 49ft of walls but maybe my house smaller?

i am hacking all the walls (except the wall between my 2 bedrooms) in my house. in total 49 ft long.

wall from living room window to kitchen window = 12m

wall between living room and kitchen = 3m

wall between mbr and toilet = 1m

Total = 16m or 49ft

The walls are going down...

You mentioned it is only 900 which is reasonable. In fact 49ft hacking is not alot. Hacking fee range from $1.5 to $3 psf, so 49ft by 8ft (height to ceiling, newer house should be lower than 8ft) = 392 sf which gives u a hacking fee from $588 to $1176.

U can ask your contractor to waive off kitchen cabinet and wardrobes if u r doing new ones from him.
