Hi Brandon,

looking at the breakdown, I felt it's ok. When there's hacking involved, there's bound to be increase in price. Also, using internal color PVC would increase the price quite abit. My advice is to bargain down the hacking cost by a few hundred ($3k perhaps?) and consider whether the internal color PVC is truly needed for certain carpentry. Another consideration is the use of false ceiling in bedrooms. Some like it, other find it distracting as it decrease the overall room size.

Hi, Jimmy

I was advised that the carpentry works are expensive because of color PVC. Not sure how to evaluate that and still a bit confused.

anyway, thanks for the headsup.

Don't worry, there's definitely much confusion at the beginning. Thus at renotalk, it is always encouraged to seek a few quotations before deciding on the id/contractor. For me, the chemistry with the id and his/her commitment to your project play a bigger role in my choice. For others, price point plays a major factor. All the best in your search!

From your quote as your carpentry come with colored PVC which is actually quite expensive about additional S$30 to S$40 psf so overall should be ok. If confirm all use blum hings then i would say worth it.

As for painting maybe ask him how many color provided and also include door frame?? and maybe ask specific type of paint he going to use for your whole.

For your quartz maybe ask him is he using iquartz series?? As can see the worktop quite a good price.

Lastly, is there GST or not?? if not i would say quite reasonable.

I think i better understand more details from each ID firms before decide on anything.

Mostly the 2nd quote is cheaper maybe just white pvc only and normal hings. Your quote abot unclear in 2nd part.
