Hi Namja,

Carpenters usually quote by PFR (per foot run). Several factors contribute to the PFR pricing:

- height

- whether you have sliding doors

- doors with glass

- etc.

For HDB , the full height is usually about 2.6meters. Therefore the cost for a full height wardrobe that spans 6 feet width would be calculated as such:

6 x $300 pfr (not psf as mentioned by benetay) = $1,800

The market rate really differs between IDs (Interior Designers) to sub-contractors (eg. carpentry workshops). ID firms generally perform a higher mark-up as they engage sub-contractors to construct the wood-work items.

I went direct to a carpentry workshop to get mine done previously and I believe I enjoyed cost savings of at least 20-30%.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
