This item can ask them to waive off should be able too. And then to save some cost if budget a bit tight change the doors to classic should be able to cut 40% off the price. Just 2cents opinion.

Hi Tyseng,

Will be calling Hoe Bee, Ah Soon and another contractor recommended by a fellow forumer.

Any comment or other recommendation?

Attached below is the quotation I got from a "Old friend" contractor that my family had been using since I'm a kid. 8|

There is a Chinese saying "Own people easier to slaughter" :curse:

What some research and home-works can do?

My 1st quote from a "Old family friend" = $57,000.00

2nd quote from one of the popular contractor in this forum = $47,000.00

3rd quote from a neighborhood contractor (Non-renoTalk) = $37,000.00

4th quote from a contractor that a friend recommended (Non-renoTalk) = $37,000.00

All the above spec given for the quote are about 90% similar.

I wonder! How the h*ll could the quotation be $20,000.00 difference? :dunno:

most likely will be the material n design ba. ID and contractor will also hv diff pricing.

In order to be fair to the contractor, u got to compare against apple to apple.

:) but anyway no harm to get more quote, if u interested can try up with my contractor.
