shifting of SCV points cost the same as pulling a new one

coz the labour involved is similar

however, the price should already include the cable and splitter

and 5pc of speaker cable cost $280 :) :)

go buy audio systems and they give it for free - not the standard black/white type but those you can buy at Sim Lim

btw what does it mean by conseal (living, dining etc)

does your flat come with concealed wiring? if yes the price of the light point should already include the concealing liao wor :dunno:

Mine is also 4rm premium at compassvale link... I think we are staying at the same place !!

I'm having very extensive electrical works, many downlights and cove lights... and my designer only quoted me $2500 ALL in, inclusive of 40+ power points, all concealed.

But of course that's because it's part of package price of my whole reno, which is about $29k.

So er... I think this guy sees a carrot head in you...

conceal means they hack the wall and hide the wires inside before plastering back the affected area

anything else is calculated inside the price i.e. casing

can't be letting the wires all hang loose right?

your first statement is as right as can be - it's RIDICULOUS !! !! :jawdrop:

4 x single pt $40 x 4 = $160 market rate

if your electrician's father is LEE XXX XXXX, i dont mind such a price for future "networking" needs.

this is a norm in CHINA, we dont mind paying more for the future networking( guan xi ) that comes tied with the product.
