Actually price is reasonable, but then again how's the workmanship of the contractor?

I wouldn't say it's cheap, but i think i have seen cheaper quotes in the forum, but if the workmanship of the contactor is good. this price is reasonable.

I heard that the workmanship is not bad, contractor is willing to replace the faulty items.

However, he isn't an ID firm, so am concern when he charges similar to an ID price.

For the following item does it cost this much?

Repair wall tiles due to hacking $280

Relocate kitchen sinks and washing machine inlet outlet pipe $280

Labour to connect kitchen sink tap $80

Study table 10 ft $1450

Supply and install glass door at kitchen entrance $750

Not sure if he will start to charge for all other installations,

thats the main concern as well.

Actually it's pretty normal nowadays for contractor to charge closer to ID price, so they will not kill their "ID business". I heard from my ID, there are always a ID price and customer price. So if ur contractor price is almost similar to ID pricing, i think should be reasonable.
