Help With Bto Premium 5 Room Reno Works And Quotations!

[MelanieTan 2]

Hey Guys,

I have compiled a list of items that I would need my ID/Contractor to do but... Am a complete noob (maybe that's why kena scam the last time). So what I have done is to list down what I need and what I want to do. If anyone has experience, please let me know if I'm overlooking anything, and if you've done something similar, please let me know how much your ID/contractor quoted you for the works they've done. Package or individual works also can. I just want a sensing on how much my budget needs to be, from HONEST and CARING people, rather than money hungry, blood-sucking unethical companies.

Lifestyle:

1. Family of 3+1 helper. My little darling is turning 2, so I'm thinking open spaces and un-cluttered house, bright.

2. Health conscious, only frying I will be doing is air-frying...

3. Mummy and Daddy works 5 days a week till 7pm, will need to install CCTV to monitor the little one

4. Will probably not be shifting out of the house for many years to come

IN A NUTSHELL:

1. Window Grills - if have budget invisible grills

2. Kitchen cabinet - IKEA anyone? Or will you still recommend getting the ID/Contractor to do? If have budget - Kompactop will be the first item i'll pump my money into. Backsplash necessary?

3. Electrical - Track lights definitely. Hubby thinks it's necessary to get more points than what is given by HDB. Suggestions?

4. Hacking of Kitchen wall - approx 2000x900

From RT quotations I saw seems like this is what I'll be needing in detail:

Hello,

With a little one, you will need more electrical points than what HDB provides.

If got rice-cooker on, feeding bottles in sterilizer, want to run blender, then how?

So please plan carefully.

My suggestion out of experience -- never sign contract without calculating each and every thing yourself. Make sure total mentioned in each column is correct.

Good luck for reno.

Hi NTR - I know that too now Yes, will definitely insist on getting individual quotes and will crunch numbers carefully. Thanks for your advice on the electrical points too.

Hey Randy, Please do pm me your reno contact. And hopefully you're not employed by them in any way.
