    Ok my kitchen light switch will be on the right hand side wall when I enter the kitchen. I have divided my Kitchen into 2 parts. Left "light" items like my nespresso machine, kitchen paper etc.. and of course. 6ft top ONLY and my fridge location Right "L" shape top & bottom cabinets. Kitchen Sink will be facing the entrance and my stove/hobs on the right. Basically all cooking will be done there including my microwave.. rdgs laks

    yes exactly.. i predict it will take about 3-4mths ? waiting for HDB approval and hacking + laying of new tiles already took up 3-4 weeks. furthermore reno timing is just like "office hours" sat/sun off. lol. rgds laks

    Living room... dont really like the tiles color and of course everything need to go ! from the floor/wall to the ceiling !

    and so this will be the plan for the upcoming renovation 1) relocate the kitchen entrance as to avoid direct facing with my house entrance... 2) relocate existing WC 2 entrance as i intend to open up the balcony to create more spacing. As the kitchen layout and WC 2 is kinda tricky... what to do with this HUGE pvc sewage pipe !

    eLo all bro and sis... after camping in renotalk for so long. v fortunately I am able to start my reno journey and share w u guys. I will keep it short and simple... picture speak a 1000 words below is the floor plan... regards laks
  12. laknock
    Ya agreed on that. flooring and wall for kitchen, wc1 & wc 2 can cost up to 20k++ not to mention your floor area is bigger than current BTO.

    Yah cost of hacking and opening a new entrance cost quite abit. I'm also in the process of renovating. Shd be completed in mid May I guess . Enjoy the process! Cheers
  14. laknock
    Yeah agreed! I'm unable to get my ISP to waive off the charges!

  16. laknock

    all they want is sales. anyway 45k inclusive of gst? lol 45k can do my resales flat lieo... anyway dont give up! do more research !
  18. laknock
    that what i think also... cause i got this quote before. overlay $7. unlikely $7 = $3 for tiles + screen $2 + labour $2 ? if really is $7. intro to me also. lol regards
  19. laknock
    it is usually the case. masonry work low side, hacking on the high side. in that case you must see the final cost , provided all items added, $7psf I am not sure if it is overlay or replace tiles... from my experience I got encounter an ID/Contractor who quote me hacking of my floor tiles and for my floor tiles he quote me OVERLAY on my existing tiles. i do not know if he quote me on purpose. just be careful and look thru the items...
  20. laknock
    i believe the company sub con to other company for hacking... do some research i believe can get better price. regards

    Hi ifdr.. I cant comment much on it. for me i just think that we cant possibly compare all the quote. it is never ending. every contractors got their way of calculating. compare afew more and you will surely find a benchmark. afew ID/contractor during meeting will tell me this and that. confirm less than 10psf. when the quotation come back to me i did my own calculation. all end up $12-$14. i believe it is due to profit margin... they will further reduce it (discount) from there... company are out to make money. overall they are doing sales not to forget... thanks

    Yo Kenny still quite difficult to judge if this is a reasonable quote. no quantity and measurement. dont get excited by the final quote. look into each individual items. like kitchen top 10ft enough? i need how many lighting pts / power sockets? etc... hope this help... cheers
  23. laknock
    Haha i agree with you. the way they type and the way they talk during face to face appointment i know who lieo...
  24. laknock
    ifdr work out to about $11.3-$11.5 psf for your wall.. anyway exluding tiles assume $3. $11.5 (est) - $3 (tiles) = $8 (labour $5 and screed $3) cheers
  25. laknock
    take 10.5 x the wall area - window & door area convert to sqf. actually that is base on our calculation. their calculation maybe different. i got quotations fr different company, some est 300sqf some est 350sqf. i assume all maths calculation are the same . Area = L x B. so you must roughly know your kitchen area and select the company that is close to your own calculation. that what i think. i maybe wrong... cheers laks
