Bs 3 Roomer...my Very Own.

After a few months of waiting finally got my key on 2nd sept. Reading all the blogs here had been an addiction and helpful to me reno process.

After mass emailing id thru the website,was bombarded with emails and calls for 4 days. Advise to new home owners, click the id you are interested in. Save you alot of time answering to enquiries.

Well, having talked to 3 ID and 1 contractor (my friend's relative).

1) ID 1---min 45K

2) ID 2---min 30K

3) ID 3---min 30K

4) contractor--min 27K.

After much condisderable, i finally decided on ID3. well, the reason was ease of communication and 2nd ly it kind of fits my budget without sacrifiyng much of what I wanted for my reno.

From this short listing process, I reckoned the profit margin for any 1 particular reno project is between 25% to 40%. (My gut feel as a seasoned contract/proposal reviewer in my job)..........my 2 cents.......
