CraftBrick - Austin, CSI-093 for our bricks wall yeay!

2012-10-13163736_zpsab5a6fe6.jpg

we bought 12 cartons of them direct from the factory at Ayer Hitam, Johor Bahru

Hafary quoted us for $95/carton but factory quoted us RM85/carton ($35 Singapore dollars!)

so total we paid RM1, 020.00 inclusive FREE DELIVERY to my dad's JB crib at Larkin :)

I spent only SGD500 for 12cartons craftbricks!!!

Hi Nexer,

Yah bricks is super X at hafary.. it's better to purchase it directly from the factory.

Actually I have another separate quotation from CraftStone Singapore.. quoted me $1, 350/- for CSI093 bricks plus installation (from their sub-con) but my hubby prefer to buy the bricks from JB cuz they deliver for FOC (to JB only).

Hi Nexer - yah i think that is the standard psf price they quoted us.. mine was quoted for 6.9ft x height 8.5ft wall.

I think if you can hire someone to install the bricks is better, then you purchase the bricks direct form the factory at only RM85/carton :notti:
