I was also shocked when the electrial wiring works were done...but my ID previously said that ours will only come up to $2-$3K so I didn't really make a big ho ha. So when the day arrived (to see the quotation), he gave us a shock. Was $5K loh...then alot of lighting points I cancelled and managed to reduce to roughly $4K loh. Mine is a 5-room executive. So proabably ex.

He done up the works le...so how could i possibly say I don't want? If I don't want, he might charge us for un-doing....

5k ar :jawdrop:

next time if he said 3k u must gv a shock face to him, so he will think twice to chop u and thin 3k u already shock if 5 k will be more :jawdrop::jawdrop:

Anyway, wat is done cannot be undone.

Just tat feel heart pain for u, but if the work done is done up nicely than still not too bad la.

Just move on to the next part of ur renovation phase, but be more careful about ur ID than.

If not he come again and tell 4k more for plumpling works than... :bangwall::bangwall: again.

Plumbing works is included in my reno le. Ya, I think if he does a good job then not too bad. So rite now, all I can do is to save on my lightings loh. Need to source for cheaper source.

hopefully your ID wont come up with the usual CON-practice of this one/that one not included MUST pay separately.

if hidden cost is only GST...thats nothing.

it's always those stuffs that we did not expect to be of separate cost.

example = painting - what simi sealer/extra colour/grade must pay extra..etc

Some ID add here add there and just tell u to pay extra, that the hidden cost.

Like install heater or bathroom accessories they will also charge u, if tat is not indicated in the quote.

Therefore all must be written in black & white, in the quote before u sign on the dotted line.

BRO mace, ur KENG here and KENG helped us poor ppl alot.

Therefore u must KENG more and share with us hehe... :sport-smiley-004::sport-smiley-004:

If we got new KENG ideas will also share share. OK :)
