Hi Rave,

Its not a high pricing for a 5 room flat, given the fact that the BQ breakdowns are quite a lot of information. But low quotes does not mean good workmanship.

A few pointers you might wanna take note:

- You can check with your contractor if the items include warranty. It would be a liability if they can give you half-baked workmanship, with the amount of price they quote you.

- I noticed that there is no breakdown of area measurement by your contractor. By right, they should put it black and white in quotation. For example, item (I)(1) Supply & install aluminum grill l i v i n g

What is the total length of the window grille? What is the square area. Usually, good contractors will be as transparent as possible.

- Check the level of details for their carpentry. Ask if you can visit their workshop or something

- Lastly, The quality of material. For example, granite kitchen cabinet top. Is it made in China?... it really matters a lot as most building materials nowadays do not last that long.

I hope these pointers help. As i learned them based on ALL my experience with contractors.

Cheers and have a good day ahead.
