Hi! I've been lurking around looking at t-blogs for ideas. Now it's time to come to a decision on who to engage for my reno. I've met a few IDs and it was a mix of feelings. One was quite eager and very helpful to our needs but when we told him our budget, he became quite reluctant. Another was genuinely interested but his quotes were slightly on the high side for some stuffs. The last one we met, totally no chemistry - hence, we are lost. People have been advising me to go for contractors instead (because we know what we wanted and the reno job is quite small) but we aren't very sure who to look for. Out budget is about $10k (max) with electrical works & cabling all in. Our house will be a new 5-room DBSS flat, so most of the fittings are already done. It'll be great if anyone can point me to the right direction. Scope of work: Living room 1. 8ft suspended tv console (don't need feature wall) 2. L-box for dining and living area BR1 3. 2ft by 3ft side table with drawers MBR 4. 14 ft (L) x 1 ft (ht) bay window storage (drawers & open storage) 5. Study table over bay window area 6. 14 ft x 2 ft L-box Bathroom 7. Vanity cabinet 8. Top hung cabinet Misc 9. Painting of whole house 10. Electrical works 11. Routing of LAN cables (cable, termination plate provided by me) Thanks!!
