A Budget Renovation

Recommended Posts

budget renovation? I see your stuffs dont look like budget .... :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

mmm how to explain.

I went through about 12 id around sg. Some better known ones some not so popular ones.

All went exactly same specs except kitchen (original idea was a very simple kitchen)

I have a total budget of about 80k for this reno.

Without appliances and the modular wardrobes, the quotes ranges from 55k to 80k, as there is quite a fair bit of work to be done. Bear in mind its all the same design specified by me. I already know what i want. Everything was hacked away including windows and doors + door frames.

I did it all the above including a much upgraded kitchen at about 40k including wardrobe. breakdown in costs as follows :

Approximate costs

Hacking, tiling, plastering of walls : $15k

Kitchen $11k

wardrobe $6k

Pipping $1500

Electricity $1000

toilet doors : $700

windows : $2800

doors : $3000

+/- about 40k

but i get a much better kitchen and wardrobe system

So balance budget goes into buy better things

I am strong believer of paying for what the family uses often.

Pipping $1500

Electricity $1000

Piping is plumbing? Wow, how did you keep the costs for both plumbing and electrical down? My plumbing was 2100 (initial quote) + 1700 (top up) = 3800 and electrical was 2800 (initial quote) + 1500 (top up) = 4300.

Plumber and electrician are guys doing for industrial/factories. For plumbing, i paid about 500 for materials, already planned for him how to run the pipes etc, paid him 500 for 1 days work.

electrician about 400 for materials, 200 per day for 3 days work.
