Ya, we added in some stuff and changed some of the things. That's why when the 2nd quotation came in, i was surprised how come so much. =X

There's 2 contracts. The first one is the package + additional items 1 to 10. I have signed that already. The second one (the rest of the items) I havent signed yet because I want to negotiate with my ID.

Hi all, thanks for your replies! The problem is, the ID has almost completed the renovation works and now we are pending for the touching up. He showed us this quotation and I was quite surprised at the amount. That's why I needed help because I do not know how this market works. And also, we are not really happy with the finishing with the painting (visible wrinkles on the walls). They promised to plaster and paint the ceilings and walls of the whole house but the storeroom is left untouched and many areas aren't smooth at all. We had alot of problems with this ID. So I assume the EW is around 2k? because the ID told us the electrician pulled alot of colourful long wires directly to the appliances, that's why we are paying this much for this quality of work. Additional item 13 and 14 is because initially we wanted to build one cabinet but in the end we decided to hack it off, that's why it is charged. He promised to hand over the keys to us at end of october. and because of alot of problems, it has been delayed for close to a month, causing us to rent a room to stay outside !!-.- Can anyone teach me how to "bargain"?

Hi all, I need advice regarding the quotation given to me by my designer. I feel he's charging me at a high price. Can someone look through and let me know? *URGENT* Many thanks.
