Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request

I hope I can do this too as our common toilet is also very cramped.

I saw that you bought the same WC as the one that I am interested in.

Will you be able to tell me how much and where you got it from?

Cannot rem exact price but it was listed at ard $400+. You can try Bathlabz at Ubi.

so far its heritage, poh joo, poh seng.

royal franco and gr link is not that cheap.

My office is very near Jalan Besar, will try the ones mentioned above.

Actually I was there one friday evening, but the place was closed by 7 PM.

Till now we have tried a few and found Hoe Kee in IMM the best as far as prices go.

As we are still looking for contractors and haven't really finalized our plans we did not really sit down and bargaon with any of them.

Think as mentioned earlier here, best is to get everything from one showroom and then ask for discount.

Where is Heritage?

Thanks fishponder, will try the place out.

I am not fickle, but my wife certainly is. So she will like the place for sure.

yah, i forgot about hoekee. each of them have their own cheapest items. so u need to find out 1 by 1. if no time, then just buy all from any of these shops should be fine.

fishponder has already replied so yah, do check it out.

2 to provide 12 no of lighting points and labour charge to install 12 PLC lights 600.00

The above sounds reasonable but additional item electrical price is expensive....

1 x 13a single socket $ 50 each <== This is expensive

2 x 13 a socket $ 55 each <=== This is reasonable

SCV point $ 120 each <=== This is on the high side

tel point $ 55 each <=== Dunno....

lighting points $ 40 each <=== Does it include installation If not, this is expensive

Thanks Beluga.

1 x 13a single socket $ 50 each <== This is expensive - I thought so too, better get 2 sockets for $5 extra

2 x 13 a socket $ 55 each <=== This is reasonable

SCV point $ 120 each <=== This is on the high side - I'll have to speak with him about this although I do not plan to have anymore SCV points. I use MIO and that requires tel points ant not SCV.

tel point $ 55 each <=== Dunno....

lighting points $ 40 each <=== Does it include installation If not, this is expensive - I'll have to clarify this with him. Thanks for the advise.

The price for painting is expensive. How many colours can you choose?

The contractor did not specify, so I've asked him about that. From what I've seen here on RT, for a 5 room flat its normally between 1.3 to 1.6 K for 5 colours.

You have any idea on this?
