Hi, we've finalised our layout and received the following quotation from our ID. Is it reasonable for a 3-room BTO (68sqm), and how else can it be improved? We're not looking for absolute cheapest because we believe in design and quality. But if there are items which jump out as unreasonably expensive or something missed out, please help us to flag.

Do note our layout is not the traditional 3-room layout as our Master Bedroom will takeover the space in the existing Living Room, and we will hack the walls between the existing bedrooms to form 1 big Living/Work room. So the measurements may be a bit strange.

Thank you in advance.

Included explanation on layout

hi joyce, some items in the quote is over-priced. e.g. hacking, construct shower kerb etc , tiling of the toilet. and what?, 2 mirror for $400?  install fittings and accessories for 1.4k??

the carpentry price is also a big high, but if u are buying for the quality, its ok if its comfortable with u.

I would suggest to u, that find a cheaper source for the following, since the following, its just plan works:

hacking, wet works, tiling, plumbing.

anyway, had also pm u contractor that are able to do the works at a much lower price, but with worksmanship still up to standard.
