i m intending to buy an EM too..so i should budget my reno to be at least 50k for overhaul?

For everything then yep, 50K sounds like a minimum. We have a few bits brought (i.e. some lights and oven) over and very minimal carpentry and we will get in at around 45K I would guess inc sanitary wares / lights / electricals etc.

Hi RimBlock,

Can i get your electircan contacts, please.

Many thanks

Hi Jim,

I would suggest letting them finish the electrical works on the reno and then I can give you a proper assessment of their work along with the contact number. They should be finished this week. I would hate to pass on the contact and the work was not that good or problematic after I had passed it to you.

Please PM me and I will not forget or have to go hunting for this thread .

If you want all that then yep... will be very expensive. We were quoted 5K for the stairs .

Your requirements sound more like 80-100k renovation. Conservatively, 75k minimum.

LOL... $63K is like the magic number... think I've asked a few forummers for their quotations... and those quotations that I've gotten.

It's mainly ard $63K...

think from normal distribution or "bell curve", think the norm is $63K to $67K.

The outliers are like $35K (may have a lot of missing items) and $78K (may have a lot of "unwanted" stuff)...

The below average is ard $50K.

We can exchange quotations and compare, if you want.
