- Feature wall 6ft, simple design is ard $750

-TV console 6 ft, - $800

- Feature wall for bomb shelter, 6ft is ard $750

- L-box is calculate @$10pfr, if not doing much, is calculate as 1 lump sum.

ThankS' jaskel' - for replying- i guess roughly i hv to put aside $25K

If you are doing quite a bit on fixtures then will be more expensive due to it is make to measure.

also set aside ur about 2K for your lightings, lighting point, cable point (if need to shift) and wiring.

ThkZ For the Advice...

Hi, Guys.

I always heard fellow friends says that, it is always good to keep around $1k to $2k for lighting.

Is that true? What are the other thing that I had to come out with cash during the renovation period. Doing my renovation early next year, so I am recce-ing around =)

Thanks alot.

window8, it would be good to ask around for quotations from contractors....tat would be a gd gauge....

however, as per ur list below and dependent on the material cost (according to wat kind of material u choose), on a safe bet, u need to set aside at least about 25k to 30k....

I got mention as above on the lighting part. For advise would be 2K. Things keep increasing but no salary. sigh~~

During renovation period there are a few things need cash -

1) Kitchen

- hob and hood

- kitchen basin

- tap

- fridge

( check the measurement first then ask ur ID/contractor to do the measurement, if you want to do base for your fridge. )

- washing machine and dryer (if needed)

( check the measurement first then ask ur ID/contractor to do the measurement, if you want to do base for your washer and dryer. )

2) Air-con ( must know what system and how many compressor you want. Eg . system 4 for all the rooms and one for the living room)

Others like living room and bedroom all depends on the design which you liase with your ID/contractor. :paint:

Do remember that if anything which is required to build then you need to get it first.

Hi window,

have u source for quotations?

so far for mine is roughly around 18k for most of the firms I asked around for works like

false ceiling and L box

living rm partition and full height shoe cabinet

kitchen (the usualy stuff) (it normally measure up to 24 ft with solid top at abt 3 - 4k)

mbr wr + bedframe with storage + low cabinets at window side + 2 side table

Ok, I see. Intend to buy bit-by-bit. So son't need to outlay so much cash when the time comes.. . .

Thanks anyway for yr suggestions.

By the way, anyone had any idea what other item does BTO flats comes with apart from the doors which I bought and the done-up flooring. . .

I was wondering does it comes with sink, taps and etc.

How about toilets, we install our own sink too?
