hi tightbudget,

in my case, the tiler-cum-plasterer will chemical clean my whole house, i mean whole including floors not done by them, windows not done by them, etc. hehehe. it was pre-negotiated before award.

if u split up the trades, the contractors will NOT cover each other. so then u'll have to come in, designate the grey zones to which contractor, and then play middleman if they squabble LA! hehe

if anything goes wrong, YOU will be responsible in clearing the ****. so a FAIRPROOF (at least 90%proof) plan is to give your contract to a reno-contractor :jawdrop:

during the quotation-stage, i found IMPRESS21 and GEK JIN to be most appealing, in terms of working capabilities & prices. you may wanna contact them first la :) !!

hi odielim,

u'll my renotalk-talk idol - 123 blog pages!! :good:

about the prices, actually i do biddings and contracts management for construction projects. so how i understand the technicalities behind how prices are built-up. then again, reno-prices are way way way higher then construction prices. :P just need to gather a few mre quotes, throw the 'standard questions' at the vendors, and it'll be sufficient to map the path of prices la;)

honestly, if i have 50K to splurge, wouldn't be bothered to do it the way im doinding it now :bow:
