I agree to yr view. I also feel the flooring very expensive. My kitchen is only one side with cabinet cos i intend to hack away one side of the kitchen wall, to make my small kitchen looks big. Thanks for the reply. Btw, u got any good contractor to intro for home renovation?

pls take out your calculator and count.

Living / Dinning

01) Construct living hall , dinning hall , 3 bedroom and kitchen 600mm x 600mm

homogenous polish tiles complete with skirting.( Per sq ft $3.80/=) $8,550.00

$8550 / $3.80 = 2250 sq ft (which is equal to 209 sqm!)

your whole hse is only 110 sqm (1184 sq ft) lehhh!!!!

even if include labour for laying tiles also should not be this price.

which contractor huh? can PM me? thank you very much.

[h4happy 1]

My neighbour encountere one id which charge very high also.

The reason id told my neighbour is that he afraid tiles might crack, few tiles need to do skirting, etc....all excuses. My neighbour was charge more than 100 pieces for 4 room unit 90sq ft!

That is why it is better to ask id how they calculate per sq ft.

Generally, you need to incorp a 10% buffer as wastage. but you tell contractor to adjust it.

Yeah, actually most of the items quoted already has a certain buffer on it.

But it really depends on your id/contractors. How high they charge. Of course they need to earn money right?

I encountered 1 id/contractor (from malaysian, why I know? Cos he drive malaysian car), charge my neighbours over hundreds of extra tiles for a 4 room 90 sq ft.

And until now, my neighbour still have not rec' his quotation!!

But too bad, my neighbour as if gana his black magic, will let him do.

There is one unit, let him do the reno., you know how much?

1) 5 room unit = $60k.

2) 5 room unit = $56k.

Before that, I asked the 1st owner, how much is the quotation, she said dont know. Wait for the reno to complete then ask him to calculate.

FAINTED!!
