I dunno cheap or not but ID near my house so decided to settle for it. Btw i havent started my reno cos havent got key to flat yet (est in Aug) so i can't tell u workmanship and hidden costs as yet. but will get the ID to black and white everything given FOC

There's no Best Firm / ID or Contractor.

You'll need to spend hours after hours, days.. even weeks.. going through different quotes from different firms. viewing houses that have been done by the ID/Contractor to understand their workmanship.

a person can renovate a 4A for 25k...

another can renotave for 45k

but in between, there are many differences.

Example

1) Cost/Type of material (Eg. parquet / laminates marble)

2) Extent of Hacking Involved

3) Change grilles/windows?

4) Redo Toilets?

5) Do you want asthetics like "Feature wall" .... "False Ceiling" etc...

6) Change Sanitary ware? Wash Basin? Taps? etc..

7) Curtains

8) Lights

9) Electrical Wiring

i agree on what Phantom had say. Good sentence indeed "There's no Best Firm / ID or Contractor"

As when you see the quotes u wont know the output how is it. Will be good to see their workmanship and also who are their workers are from. Like China, Malaysia, local or other foreign countries. And their experience too.

So the quotes plays a part. The more experience worker of course pay will be a bit high. A junior worker their pay well will be less. Therefore quotation will be cheap. This goes to material of the wood, laminate so on so far.

Devilaz my friend.. hows life?

Just to add on what Devilaz mentioned, go and check with the contrators and ids on existing houses that are being renovated to get a feel of the workmanship.

You should also tell them to give you a quote on What you wish to have... then after getting a competitive pricing... you slowly knock off the things you wish but can't afford lol... after that you'll get what you want and a even more competitive quote..
