i really wonder how can hacking be individually priced. My reno guy told me its by lumpsum. So surprised to see 1 item as $333, another is $342. Anyhow 'bong' the amount? Also, how come hack kitchen floor, the base don't just kena hacked at same time? why billed separately? Which renovation is this????

It reminds of a reno firm that quote- hack toilet bowl, hack basin. Already got hacked wall tiles, don't all these automatically fall off from the wall? So can i say don't remove the basin & toilet bowl but only the tiles, so tat i do not need to pay installation fees? lol.

Actually, the quotation is far over priced... they are charging you things that is done free w others....

My advise to skip this company... Super over priced...

Supply & install Lighting points 9 nos @ $38/no $342.00

i'm a newbie here as well. Is this supply and installation of lighting points at $38 each, including providing the downlights? everything all in included?

My ID quoted me $40 per light point installation, but the quotation included a statement of owner to provide own lighting. Does it mean $40 is purely installation fee?

Ask your ID if any PE endorsement is needed. If there is, ask how much he charge. I've got a contact at $300 for PE. PM me if u need.

For painting works, I've got this Myanmar guy charging $300 to paint my 4room flat. But u have to get your own paint. Sure cheaper than those offered in the market. PM me if u need.

I dun quite understand. But I've got my lightings from lightings.com.sg. Cannot remember their charges but if I'm not mistaken, it's $38 for first point followed by $7 per point. N they deliver n fix at your convenience.

well this is an extract of the electrical works i was quoted.

seems abit weird that i am charged $40 per lighting point but downlights i have to supply/pay additionally. Is this normal? Or is this perhaps referring to the cost of the electric wire laying within the false ceilling etc

This is normal. 2 ways of doing that for the quotation, 1 include laying of wiring and trunkings with installation of lighting, another is separate laying of wiring/trunkings and installation of lighting fixtures into 2 items. As for what type of lighting fixture, the house owner will need to buy and supply it to the electrician/contractor/ID. :yamseng:

Downlights are provided by customer, i dont think any firm will wanna include downlights inside. Downlights got different brand, different designs, different light bulb or energy savings or long-lasting bulb, etc. All these are cost differently.

Which firm will wanna take the risk to provide downlights? Surely will have conflict.
