the problem with this quote, no itemised costs...told my sis unless filthy rich, got too much money, if not i prefer everything listed out with the prices...

if you can, ask for separate quote for supplying and for installing.

if their supply is expensive, you might just want to get it yourself. if their installing is expensive, you might just want to subcon it out :D

PJ,

my quote also is a lump sum quote, only those extra add-ons which are not in the package is itemised with prices.

I just told those ID i met that I want wiw, laminated flooring blah blah, and budget is below 27k.

so out of the few only my ID can give me what i want, so like she remove things i dun need and use it for what i need...

so i dont actually care what is the price for each individual..

as long as the main bulk of reno cost $27k. :P

but your sista's quote seems so high..

Edited by charemme

Muahahahahaha!

Usually after that will add on alot of things right..

if 1st already start at $50k, than add on liao.. will faint!
