Recommendation On Contractor For A New 5 Room Bto

Featured Replies

Hi,

I will be a new house owner soon, expecting my keys within 6 months in Punggol

With the house in sight, think its time that I start my renovation planning. Reading all the articles here, its going to take a minimum of 4 months to identify a good contractor.

First, my preference is a direct contractor rather than an ID.

ID's prices seem to be very high, adds complication to the process. Can make a mess.

I'll be really thankful if you could PM me the contacts of some good "Direct" contractors. Sure will give you a gift if I take your advice.

Right now, my budget is around 25K. Within this, what I expect is;

New house is a premium BTO, so;

1. Flooring is already done

2. Kitchen has full tiles and Sink

3. Bathroom has full tiles and amenities

My renovation requirement;

1. Do a nice kitchen setup with cabinets, door, etc

2. Master bedroom, full length wardrobe

3. Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2, full length wardrobe

4. Hall - TV area, Shoe rack, false ceiling

5. Full length cabinet, study area for Study room

6. Cabinets in Toilets

7. Do a nice laundry setup in service area with cabinet

8. Aluminum grill for all windows

9. Simple wire grill for balcony

10 Plastering, Painting, Cleaning, Polishing

11. Additional carpentry work where required to do a nice house

In addition, I will do the following, if the contractor is reasonable in pricing

1. Sofa with coffee table

2. Master bed

3. beds in 2 rooms

4. Dining table

The most important is QUALITY. Looking for a Simplistic and Functional design.

NO TRICKS, NO GIMMIKS. Like a contractor who says, white as white and black as black.

I can share my floor plan when required.

Thanks

Jerry

Aluminum grill for all windows - can outsource direct contractor. No coordination needed.

Simple wire grill for balcony - same here also. Can do at any point of renovation.
