$250 pf is too steep for kitchen cabinet

Solid top is around $60-$80

Thanks mud,

The kitchen is 10ft on both top and bottom therefore is 20 ft for $2500. STill abit ex hor

But his quote is the lowest compare to the high end one who quotes me 35k for the same amount of work.

Because of the price rise in petrol and tariff, alot of material prices have gone up in July. Sigh.... a bad time to reno i would say...

the quote looks not cheap..some items can be FOC but was in the quote..eg. installation of water heater,sink

btw

"designed TV console using solid ply with laminate finish (11ft) $ 1,980"

11ft is v long leh..mine is 7ft and i find that its big enough already

my 7mths ago quote is posted in my blog 1st page. if u need any reference to compare, feel free to take mine and compare

(due to inflation, inflate 5% up from the price stated in my blog to compare)

hope this helps

but frankly some of your items in the quote is quite reasonable also la..

wo.. why u visit the hi end ones? in my personal opinion, best dun spend more than 13K for a 4room premium, coz no matter hw nice u reno, it is STILL a 4 room lah... and after u buy the electricals and micelleneous, u will find out, u probably need to spend ard $25-30K for the whole hse!.. and all these are just the BASIC items nia.

this special effect proposed by my id which really caought our eyes.

Is a translucent orange marble feel material. Is going to form a rectangular veritcal box divider at my TV console area. If you have been to St james Dragonfly and seen the bar top, you will know what I mean.

The lighting effect from inside the divider will give the natural marble wavey effect. Thats why willing to pay 1.2k for that.

I agree with you that prices are going up and contractors will have to push their costs to us. Which was why I told my wife that we had to start our renovations asap although I am currently based overseas. So now in the midst of renovations and should be completed by end of July.
