Why do you say that? Is this considered expensive?

Yours is a private housing? Private housing they charge slightly higher.

dismantling works price is ok. Parquet 950 is a little too high. market rates ranging from 500-600.

False ceiling cant comment as there is no measurement given. Same goes to the carpentry works. Clearing debris 450 is ridiculous. should range about 200 plus minus. and floor protection you can get it F.O.C if possible. wood flooring sounds ok. include varnishing as well?

Thanks bro. Yup, its a condo. What about the payment terms? Is it ok? I feel like i am not retaining enough cash at the end ( 5% not much considering that my reno is only about 15K)
