Please advise on should i go for Id for straight contractor ? Quite blur now

Hi Ivylee,

By right, the difference in cost is due to the design factor from the ID.

Usual pricing shld be like this:

Full height feature wall ard $120pfr,

Tv console ard $120pfr,

Kitchen Cabinet ard $120pfr ( Your contractor price seems abit low...)

Box up pricing ard $200 depending on dimensions,

Casement Wardrobe ard $220pfr

This price i got from my renovator. If you need i can intro.

Oh ya, also needa take note of the material and mechanism they give like soft closing hinges etc...

Hope this helps.

cheers,

Hello~

nope.. countertop not included. btw my carpenter is singaporean hahaz thats why i support ( good quality and he very exp )

Solid surface can have a big range from $80 - $150 ( depending on Branding )

Granite usually around $100 - $150

Silesstone and Caesarstone are both high quality Quartz top from Europe, price will be more than $200

There is also Iquartz from Singapore but i heard bad things abt it so will not recommend... Price Around $150 - $200

Samsung Staron is a Solid Surface, price in the same range as Solid surface ( $100 - $128 ), i think they also came out quartz top not too sure but i can ask them if you interested.

Can I ask what's the recommended rate for false ceiling and cove lights and stuff?

Hi Gryffindor,

Rates for false ceiling shld be ard $3.5-$4 psf. For L box shld be around $5-6 pfr. Cove light is depending on the design ba cuz it's a mix and match of false ceiling and L box. Hehez

Hope this helps.

IDs need to pay more $$ for their advertise, expo exhibitions, rental etc. etc. etc.

Contractor not much of this. So will cut down a lot of this unnecessary money. So price will drop quite a fair bit.

To all forumers, i need your advice on the quotes i got here. I got a pm and he said the price he offer are all contractor price so i sent him what i want to do and compare prices with my Id prices. i realised the difference is too much so im kinda scared so please kinda advised.
