Hey. seems alright. whats the name of your contractor? can pm me.. is this quote for 4 room? My place will only be ready in Sep 2012. so doing some homework now..

its reasonable pricing. Some items are cheaper, some items are more expensive. overall, its still balanced up.

Kitchen pricing is more expensive than my quotations but wardrobe is cheaper.

u might consider just get their wardrobe only, but go another company and get cheaper cabinet lor.

My comments are purely based on my own perception, so take them with a pinch of salt.

Time Response - Punctual & Came to my location at Sengkang thou he stayed at west side on time = 8/10

Willingness to Help - When I listed many amendments to his quote, he's very patient (we talked about 2 hours on material and other details) = 8/10

Technical

Drawings with pencil on the spot, very clear = 7.5/10

Carpentry = Not sure yet, as yet to visit his workshop here. Will update on this

Cons

Revised quote service 3/10

Sad to say i waited 4 days and the revised quote that comes back to me is Crap

Not sufficient details, and cannot give me what i want. Only major diff is 5k of cost diff

The first impression is really good, while the 2nd is dropping like bear market

They are the only contractor / id i contact with till now and i am really keen to finish up the deal.

But they give you crappy homework (quotations), that makes you fumes.

I know they are really busy, but i waited 4 days... it's really frustrating at this level

May switch to others if after next discussion still w/o give good standard service

A good id is very important. How many room flat is yours?

Did you notice yr quote for the (1) 7-ft kitchen is too ex when cf to (2) the 11.5-ft kitchen?

No reason why you shld pay $285 per foot run for (1) when you are quoted $200 per ft run for (2).

Point this out to the ID and knock down (1) $1,300-1,400 at most instd of $2k.

cheers
