yuene 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 Hey hey, Mine is a 3NG as well, I'll also be embarking on my renovation soon, more or less a full overhaul. My current quotation stands at 25K. You can try asking a contractor, or inform the ID that you are on a tight budget and let them know the amount, so that they can try to work within those limits.

merryman 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 Major overhaul also have to see what you want in the end right? Even without much carpentry, tiles, hacking etc are going to cost I will encourage you to try ideal house but not my ID though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even without much carpentry, tiles, hacking etc are going to cost I will encourage you to try ideal house but not my ID though... yah.. agree. some pple major overhaul but use cheaper tiles, the price difference when compared to those who do a major overhaul with expensive tiles can be quite alot. so really depends on what you do and what materials u use.

momo13 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 normally IDs or contractors will give tiles selection between $2.6 to $3.20.. if choosing of the tiles within these range given, think shouldn't be exceeding too much for a 3room.. correct me if i m wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTlot 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2009 My reno too was a major overhaul. Imagine 20years flat in almost original condition, everything must go kinda flat. With a tight budget and manage to get a contractor's quote of 25k rather than those >35k from ID's. Bad point is every now and then need to coordinate and tell the contractor what I want , best point is I save 10K. So all and all depends if you want to " spend " and let others do the tiring work for you or " save " and do the tiring work yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SIANZ!!!!!!!!!!!! hi, i also just bought a resale 3rm flat and need to completely revamp the place (except for windows and some parts of the bathroom because it was changed 2 years ago in the MUP) so i can say that i am in a similar circumstance. i have been to 10+ IDs, contractors, and decided to DIY. I will just get a wetworks company to do all the wetworks, then get another plumbing and electrical company to do all the plumbing and electricals, then get my furniture from ikea, and DIY the rest as of now, my estimated reno amount is about 30k, including furnishings. can read my t-blog to find out more on what I intend to do with my 3rm flat.
