Hello all renotalkers,

I just got hold of my new EA in woodlands and I have been meeting contractors & ID's. I realized that I am really blur at how to evaluate my quotation from these contractors & ID's. I do not have a benchmark to know if I am been cut like carrot or am getting a good deal.

So I decided to paste one of my quotations from one of the contractor/ID and ask for your advice.

Can you'll help me to tell me if the pricing I am getting is good ? bad? shocking? so cheap you want to scream! etc..... Can you also tell me if I am been cut like a carrot? and what should the normal price be?

Here is my quotation, and hope everyone can help me pls....

"To supply labour to install 02 nos of hand spary tap. - $700" :jawdrop: i believe you are referring to S$70.00?

A quick glance, pricing is a bit on a high side, but still acceptable.

For your info, my EA 142m , overhaul, cost me about 55k inclusive electrical works.

Hi Angmo,

Thank you so very much for replying. you are so kind to take time to reply me. :bow:

Oh the spray tap yeah...I meant 70 not 700 oops!

My EA is 174 square meters so is that the reason why it is more expensive?

Can you tell me which aspects are on the high side?

I would try to negotiate with the contractor.

Appreciate any help you can offer me.

I am not doing total overhaul as its pretty costly. Everyone is quoting from 80 - 100 K.

you have such a big EA!!! :jawdrop: bigger than any flats that i have heard of.

no total costs so i don't know whether its really ex or not. sometimes, its better to look at overall as some contractor/ID charge cheaper on some items, but more ex on some. since its a total amount, then can see clearly whether its ex or not. but better to list down individual items but when compare, better to do overall.

hope it helps

If your flat is very large, usually things dependent on area will cost more - eg hacking, false ceiling, painting etc.

Your tiling cost looks ok - maybe you can work out the sq ft of the toilets / kitchen (floor + walls) being tiled and check the psf. Anything below 6 psf would be good price, but they never said what type of tiles they will give you.

Kitchen cabinet @ 110 pft looks reasonable. Materials also not specified so can also turn out to be expensive.

What kind of study table are you building that will cost 2.2k? Buy from IKEA bro - can do it 4x over.

No paint work? No other carpentry work? No electrical work? Wait until you ask them to install extra sockets or light switches - sure kana kuto.

Experiences with life changing injury

DianeNolanN · Wednesday at 12:23 PM2 days

Hi. In April of this year I suffered an injury that became life changing. It meant 6 months of being housebound. Losing all the things that helped me stay healthy - walking, nature, sport, going out and seeing friends. Then I had surgery, and was told they couldn't tell me what would happen until they operated. I didn't know what would be the outcome unitl I woke up. The waking up experience was so intense and overwhelming wiht severe pain and sickness. They had to remove part of

Building a Strong Social Media Presence for Your Business

Chubakazubaka · February 26Feb 26

I’m really trying to build a strong social media presence for my small coffee shop, but it feels intimidating. I’ve started posting regularly, but I’m not sure if it’s being seen. I recently shared a behind-the-scenes video of our brewing process and got a decent response, but I’d love to learn more about what can make my posts resonate with more people. What strategies have worked for you in making a noticeable impact on your social media presence?

How to choose a reliable casino with Solana and fast withdrawals?

alikprohor · October 29, 20251 yr

It’s frustrating to win but then have to wait days for my funds to arrive. I know Solana is supposed to be fast and cheap, but I haven’t found a casino that makes full use of that. Can anyone recommend a reliable casino where I can bet with Solana and not deal with delays when withdrawing?

How can I improve my English online?

AnnaLibert · May 30, 20233 yr

Interesting Question. I can share with you my experience of improving English writing online. Key Word: Quora, Italki, Deliberate Practice One Basic Principle: striking a balance between the input and output of English. The input of English refers to the learning of any new words, phrases or sentences I read in books or hear from radio or TV programs. The output means practicing these new words, phrases or sentences in my writing or speaking. Striking a balance between the input and output means
