Hi Ren I need some advice. Is it common for contractors not to give a breakdown price list? Thanks. -

Thanks everyone for your great help. Will keep in mind your advices when I negotiate with the contractors. I've decided to forgo some of the items like full height cabinet - L1.5m for boxing up the rubbish cute & storage (seems not really necessary since I've a storeroom), shower screen in common toilet (I have a baby who still uses in his bathtub), dropping the white powder-coated window and grilles for brown aluminium... I think I really need to look at my flat again and think hard what is essential! Thanks everyone! Really appreciate your kindness -

Hi Ren I've been to 10 reno companies. All gave me the same thing.....maybe they see me as "flesh meat", try to slash me like crazy.... This list was my 4th revised list, cut down alot of carpentary works like display cabinet, tv console, wall feature, shoe cabinet etc. I wish I can cut down more but my resale flat is 20 years old, alot of things had to be done like windows/grilles, rewiring, kitchen cabinet, wardrobes etc. These alone cost me a bomb I'm meeting the contractors again. Will see again whether I can forgo some of the items to meet my budget. Thanks. Hi Fanzander Saw the news. I had the same thought too, economic bad = things get cheaper. Seems not true for us..... Guess wat, I'll was staring hard at the tv then to see if i can recognise any of the contactors. Kekekekekeke.. -

I've approached contractors & ID. So far, contractors (no design) quote me around this price while ID much higher. Everyone told me that they are giving me better quality materials, not sure can trust or not . Read some of the threads here, seems everyone get better deals than me. Headache... I'm hoping to reduce down to 35K. Would that be reasonable? -
