hi all,

I went to a few ids and quote price varies a lot from 63k to 72k for my resale 4rm whole house hack, i duno which is
reasonable or overcharged. Therefore my friend recommended me his contractor. I find it reasonable and their
quality is very good because i saw in my friends house. really nothing to complain at all even to such a fussy person like me.
i dont mind paying a bit more on good quality and workmanship.
Just wanted some people feedback on the price.

As for the workmanship, i have seen it, it is assured solid wood and very good workmanship
especially the carpentry edges, very well laminated. He also showed me normal workmanship and
prices too, its cheaper than this quote a bit more only. So i think its worth paying for the carpentry.
Do let me know if the price is ok. feedback pls. greatly appreciated.
thanks all!

 

Hi

well it's quite reasonable if what u mention is the carpentry is really good, much lower than ids. As I know that of u really want good workmanship u need to pay abit more.. 

hi tanks,

the quote is ok, reasonable compared with good workmanship.

Hi, 

can I have your contractor's contact please, thanks!

Difficult to comment on pricing unless materials used are known but perhaps you can clarify on the followings if you're considering them

For wardrobes in the bedrooms, do you want coloured or white internal pvc? There's a price difference.

For the bottom kitchen cabinets & wardrobes in bedrooms, do you need drawers? If yes, does the quotation include drawers or is separate charge? If includes, how many drawers per wardrobe/kitchen cabinet & the cost for additional drawer? If doesn't include & you need it, get them to quote in as well, at least under optional like how much per drawer & any size limitation for each drawer? Drawers cost more than just shelves, so besides comparing cost, need to know exactly what's & what's not included in the quote so that you don't get a surprise after you signed the contract. Anything that the contractor/ID promised you, get them put down black & white in the quote.

Also for kitchen cabinets, you don't need them to install hood & hob?

The glass backing for kitchen, is it tempered glass? Asking as it's stated tempered glass for shower screen in MBR toilet but didn't mention it's tempered glass for kitchen.

Are you changing the bedroom doors? If not, please make sure contractor would make good if his people were to spoil your doors during the renovation & had this stated black & white too. I encountered this, my bedroom doors were bloated at the bottom after reno, they were dismantled during wet works & chucked at a corner, probably the bottom got soaked somehow, but my ID isn't good to make good.
