Michael, I would suggest you ask my contractor to do onsite quotation.

As mentioned his quote for cabinets are more expensive than my 3 other renovators likely due to quality of wood.

Revealing my cost isn't meaningful for comparison at all since you don't know the dimension, quality, design of item etc.

Engaged Pertapis movers to shift our belongings from two locations to our new house.

Very satisfied with their services.

Competitive pricing too.

We have about 20-25 boxes/bags and some big items.

We have spoken to another mover but find it too troublesome to fit into their standard box size. We prefer to pack till the last min so we can't decried the exact number of boxes so they can't quote us. We are glad that Pertapis is more flexible.

Hi,

I noted that you have built a cement structure for your sink, may I know what is the thickness of the iQuartz profile (the side of iQuartz) ?

I had wanted to build a cement structure for the sink area as I believe it is more durable but my contractor has been discouraging me saying that the iQuartz profile will look very thick and not nice.

Thanks.

I don't have the thickness of iQuartz now but I've uploaded my kitchen top in the earlier post. If you can accept then go ahead and ask your contractor to build a cement structure for sink area.

I have a few members asking me for the quote of my renovation.

I don't share as there are many amendments on the copy and I feel that you should have the contractor for an onsite quotation.

I have only asked for 2-3 quotes for my renovation so I'm not too sure what's the definition of expensive or cheap as my references are based on that few quotes.

My main consideration is the attitude and reliability of the contractor.

I have left the number of my contractor in my signature. You can contact Alan directly. I don't get anything in return for sharing the project he has done for us.

Cheers.
