Fifi 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 wat is sealer? they never say painting includes how many colours but we only decided on 2 colours... maybe we shd get the other 2 rooms with different colours too hor? i tink the clearing of rubbish everything shd be included just that he only put down those that needed cost. otherwise, all will be included in the costing... his quote not as detail as the other ID companies. we can verify this with him again on saturday not hacking anything. electrical not included aircon not included Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh electricals not included ar.....this is a major part of the costing also leh....some can go up to 2K.... And installation of lightings?? bathroom accessories (shd come free)??

I think everything shd be written down in black and white even if he said clearing rubbish is free....cos some firms so charge for clearing the debris...don't assume..Get him to write down items that are FOC also...better be safe than sorry... Oh electricals not included ar.....this is a major part of the costing also leh....some can go up to 2K.... And installation of lightings?? bathroom accessories (shd come free)?? ya lor.. like mine.. although small reno.. 1 lighting point charge me for 30 bucks. come up to be pretty high cost leh.. clearing the debris can cost $100 to $300.. all these small small things added up cost far more than expected. nothing comes free unless you asked for it.
