lee_sg_123 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2008 Just like medicine in different ward of hospital cost differently. the same panadol in ward A is more expensive than the same panadol in ward C. Why not u ask for quotation for a 4 room flat, it will be much cheaper. when more or less confirm tell them its a condo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bswpy 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Hi there! Sounds about right. Your list of tasks to be carried out is similar to an overhaul, but for a brand new condo, it should have almost everything in place, but then again it's a matter of preference. We are getting ours done at almost the same costs as yours but ours is 10 years old. Have you gotten a second opinion? I reccomend X'clusive Interior down at Katong Mall. Ask for Richard Lau and tell him Brian sent you. Good luck and let us know how it went. We can be contacted at brianisnow@yahoo.com.

zirhk3355 1 Report post Posted November 5, 2008 Based on the works you are doing, I think the amount is reasonable. Don't think this is a case of rip-off just because you are renovating a condo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
