megko 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 looks ex to me...My polishing of marble floor (dining+living) is less than $1000/-. painting of whole house - ceiling/walls - S$1200. For kitchen cabinents, try Classic Kitchens...they are very good at kitchens. Initial quote may seems expensive but they reduce the quote after actual measurements.

Your Built-in wardrobe is $4k++ super expensive... same too to your kitchen cabinet.... get more quotes to compare and u will see the difference/. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think your quotation is too expensive liao, especially carpentry works. Plumbing and painting are also very expensive. Also, there're a lot of small items that I think you can ask your ID/contractor to do it for free. Since you have to pay for every small thing, i'm afraid there's hidden cost as well. Hmmm ... my painting is only $1000. Can choose any paint. So we chose Nippon easywash and 3-in-1 medifresh. For other IDs/contractors we met before, they always asked for top-up if we want Nippon, especially easywash and medifresh. Don't know why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveMyHome 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2008 Hi boonkhim, I believe by now, u should know whether your main contractor is doing well in his task. As a end-user like us, we are surely unable to get any dealer price from carpenters, plumber and etc. Hence, whatever retail price your main contractor offered you is his earning rather than pocketing extra $$$ on top of the standard price as fellow netizens had mentioned. Do read around articles from this forum. I like this place, its pretty resourceful ya. Hope you have a great renovation ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
