Hi Alucard,

After read your post, i find it slightly at a high side. especially your bomb shelter feature wall and the tic tac door.

Maybe you can give my ID a try. His name is Kelvin (92256464). He's a nice guy. Very patient, friendly, helpful

and thoughtful. And of cos, he is very creative and his design is very nice and functional.

You can give him a call if you want. No harm getting another quote to compare in price and in person.

Cos when you renovate your home, you must go thru it with your ID or contractor. So the first impression

is very important. You must feel confortable with them first.

That's is all base on my previous experience when i renovated my house in 2008 sept.

Just a susgestion to you. Hope you could find a reliable person to do up your place.

Cheers...

very tiring to compare quotes cos its not possible to compare quotes. one may say they use better material, another may say they use better carpentry.

most impt is find a good ID you are comfortable with, see their previous customer's completed home, and able to do waht you want within your budget, then can go for it.

can read my thread in my signature :)

Hi alucard,

I must agree with zhiz that you have to find the ID you are comfortable with and can be trusted. You have to also make sure your ID produce the material which you chosen like for example painting. Let's say if you chose the real paint but he gave u a mix paint.

Imho i think the prices your ID quoted are quite reasonable. If you are comfortable with him, just go ahead =)

Hmm those that I highlighted in red I find it too costly. Either ask your ID /contractor to lower down or source for other ID. As for the carpentry works, its quite reasonable. May I ask why are you using 100% acrylic as solid top? Is it scratch resistant? Normal marble solid top can cost ard $80~$90, if its 12 foot run, 12 x $90 also $1080 only... Enlighten me if acrylic is better then marble. :rolleyes:

As for the layigng of homo tiles, gotta depend on your floor size, on the cheaper range, if you select tiles with $3 per square feet, adding of material cost and labour cost, per square feet will be ard $5, let say your lving room is 400 square feet, will only cost 2k + laying of skirting (usually less then $200).
