cyprusblade 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 hi my friend..ended up u didnt sign up with this contractor right? i remembered u telling me that ur quote reduced already?anyway, whatever decision u made, i will give u moral support de.. good luckbtw..the quote : $2800 for painting is v high..market rate for 4room $1.2k....5room $1.5ki can pass u other companies quote for u to show ur contractor,maybe u can negotiate it with him? feel free to call me if u need any help Hi Hi! Yes, not to worry we didn't sign up with him. Too bad, we already sign on the dotted line with another contractor but I checked my quote for painting it's 1.3K so still reasonable. I'll post the quote later this afternoon.Thanks in advance all your tips!PS: What are the pros & cons of bamboo vs metal poles. We having the same 'discussion' as you.

cyprusblade 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) ooo cn see ur address on the quotation.. hee hee.. anyway cnt wait to see everything hacked n rebuilt!Oh thanks for letting me know, have removed it.The previous owners have already hacked the storeroom. We intend to make a walk-in warddrobe. Have approval from HDB to extend the kitchen to the same line as the toilet wall. The hacking for all tiles, waterproofing and new tiles are all up. Windows and window grills are up. Lights have been installed except for dinning room light. Electrical and switches completed.Didn't have a camera then so didn't take any pictures then. Only started taking pictures a week ago. Edited February 11, 2008 by cyprusblade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyprusblade 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Yang Guo. Thanks for the info. We'll be discussing about it.http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj9/cyp.../Carpentary.jpgAny comments on the pricing for carpentary? Just met up with the contractor and he wrote down the quote for us. All cabinet are with lanminates.A few more Qs: For toilet door, is aluminum, solid plywood or nytoh wood door better? Am afraid over time wood door will expend due to the moisture.For black galaxy granite kitchen top from China. Our contractor quote us $150- 175 per feet. Wondering if it's reasonable.the quote that u signed seems reasonable !! btw how big is ur hse ah? soo bigg...!looking forward to see ur hse done up,hehIt's 119 square metres. I guess is normal for older flats. Edited February 12, 2008 by cyprusblade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
