electrician came and re-route exisiting electrical cables.

he mentioned that they are unable to sort out the old cables & was told they need to re-do those at the living hall.

was quoted 1.8k for the whole house. i felt it was rather expensive but he mentioned its that price cos there are other areas

which i requested for conceal and they are more costly. :(

Hi Modern, your electrical cost of 1.8k - is it using the existing cables or does it involve partial rewiring?

For me, I m keeping the 2nd level untouched and rewiring only for 1st level.

Hi Modern, I like the modern look of your living and dining area.

hi, they re-wired those at the existing false ceilings. and they do some re-location of power pt

based on my request. i also asked them to conceal a few areas. these costs 1.8k.

however this does not include those original point which is left untouch.

they will quote another price for the case & labour for the change of the case separately.
