Reasonableness Of Tinted Window Quote

Recommended Posts

Dear all,

Would appreciate greatly if someone can comment on the reasonableness of the following quote for my windows. I was quoted SGD 4K for replacement of windows (anodsed aluminium) for my 5 room flat recently and felt it was on the high side. ID strongly recommend us to go with this contractor as they have worked together many times.

I should have done more homework on this but was too engaged in other matters of the reno (eg the wall bracket and water thank issue for my wall hung toilet), so this slipped my radar. In order not to hold up the process of the tiling, discussed with my hubby that we will go ahead with it since rough quote was about $2K. Was dismayed when I saw in the variation order that it came up to $4K. It was partly my fault as I did not keep a close look on it, and even did not question ID further when he asked me to choose the window glass (samples were all tinted). My ID said he told us the costs, but we both know that this was not told to us, as $4K is a big amount and both the amount and the rough sketch of costs did not a ring a bell at all.

Our learning from this is that we will write down in black and white any amendments in email, before proceeding with installations to avoid miscommunications.

Anyway would appreciate your help to verify the following, cos if it's way unreasonable I will go back to my ID to discuss this further.

Cost for anodised aluminium sliding window (tinted light grey) = $ 230/metre or $70/sq ft.

Also does anyone know of the meaning of side hung? I didn't ask for that but seems the window contractor felt this must be done for the bedrooms.

Appreciate greatly anyone who has done windows and can share with us your experience. Thanks :)!
