i think its cheaper if you source for a lot of things yourself like fans and light

at least you get to choose what you like at the price you like.

but i got a feeling that the ID really whack the price because of the property you owned.

perhaps you need a second opinion. another id may quote you a lot lesser and i think its not difficult finding another id that can give you a better price.

in fact i think from where i got my dining table, they can customize for you using rosewood and probably a lot lesser than what was quoted to you

angle of room wouldnt affect the price as its always measured according to length and not shape. in fact when i customized my table, they price it according to amount of wood used

you can get your lights and fan from lightings.com.sg

the most expensive fan was this 6XX fan. installation only $35.

the other fans are 2xx-3xx range

some more the installation is pay to contractor not to the shop.

Maybe the study table he offer you can last a 100years

but $3600.., i rather not have a study table! I can use my laptop on my dining table, mahjong table and coffee table

Are you sure you are really only seeking out one contractor?

Being a teacher and staying in a condo, doesnt mean you gotta pay much more than the rest of us bah..

any tom, dick & harry like us also wouldnt pay him $3600 for a study table. :horse:

that one, im paying for a Serta Mattress or a starmex Inverter Sys 4... :deal:

5) To supply and install full height mirror at dining: $2,800

Is this a bit too exp? Normal mirror right? I have a full height mirror in my WIW for only a few hundred.. exact width im not too sure

but your is like 6 times more than mine.

9) To supply, additional and install power points and telephone point for new study table located at study room: $900

1 tel point only $50, so the rest of $850 paying for how many power points?

10) To supply and install 4 nos of ceiling lights for 3 bedrooms X $350: $1,400

What kind of ceiling light is that? Normal ceiling light i buy from ID's shop which is feel exp is $110, at lightings.com, maybe only $55

11) To supply and install one ceiling fan c/w lighting **** hall: $750

Like what zhi mentioned, check the price outside..and compare

13) To supply and isntall doubel panels wrought iron main gate: $1,300

ID quote me wrought Iron gate $750, I get outside is $450 (not the hollow type) for HDB flat.

To be honest the study table from top to bottom does not look to worth that kind of money.. but out of courtesy i keep this to myself.

This is already the 4th contractor i approached... as budget is tight.. at most $20K, the moment most ID heard my budget they turn unfriendly and uninterested in my business.

This time round i kept mum about my budget and this is what i get...

Got my keys on 22nd september, after 2 months and yet unable to find a contractor... the house seating there for 2 months liao... Maintainence fees at $220 per month like down the drain...

so really hoping any kind souls out here can help me...

Basically what kind of help you need? Recommend ID or go thru the quote..

To be frank, for a quote like this.. how much u can lower than...

well to me.. no need to argue on the price vs design.. if the price of the designer is if we cant afford.. we walk away..

the design is his pride.. he wan such a high price, than let him be.

Why dun you take our ID's contact and ask for quote. Cuz i see your quote u not doing anything major.. except just enhancement to make it look better right?

OMG, i just saw the book shelves also cost $3600....speechless

Than I total up the quotation, you are going to pay $32900 for this amount of work (did i count wrong??)

that is about the amount im paying for my HDB 5rm (123sqm) ley

Paying $220 for maintainence fee is better than rushing thru to get a expensive ID.

Actually i have given up trying to negotiate with the ID for a better quote...

I was hoping kind souls here can recommended value for money ID and has first hand good experience to share...

Actually the maintainence fee is alright... but paying so much for so little is not alright... if not i would have sign on the contract and rush the work done..

Fellow friends who had value for money ID can PM me their contacts.. maybe i can quote your name too?
