August 17, 201214 yr Author Got the first quotation from one of my ID..was a whopping 82K excluding electrical works! Almost fainted on the spot
August 17, 201214 yr An overhaul was probably needed so we are looking at about 65K for the entire reno. Not sure if it's realistic since it's our first reno experience, but we decided to salvage the marble flooring at the 1st floor so that should save us a fair bit65k consider quite a good budget if furnishing, air con, rewiring are excluded.All the best, 3 ids not enough lah... I went to 18 of them.......
August 17, 201214 yr Got the first quotation from one of my ID..was a whopping 82K excluding electrical works! Almost fainted on the spotMine 1st quotation for my EA was 93k.. ID from S.. Just sharing, sometimes when we see quotation, just ignore those ID/contractors who round up the figure..I ever got 1 where last figure is always zero...eg. 1 item cost $32, u think he will quote $30 or $40?
August 17, 201214 yr Electrical will be btw$2-3.5kCould even be more, depending on number of points n Also no of lighting n fan n heaters.
