Hi all,

I have received a re-quote from ID at S$70K despite cutting down on a lot of hacking & carpentry works.

Guess it's a sayonara to using 3D as our appointed ID.

We have contacted 2 contractors for a quote - both recommended by frens/relatives.

Hopefully can kick-start our reno project soonest possible!

cheers,
