BunBun 5 Report post Posted October 28, 2008 Actually, if doing top & bottom cabinets, it will be an estimated 4-5k++ depending on how you want your kitchen done? Straight line, U-shape, L-Shaped and etc..? Also, if you doing alot of drawers than doors for the cabinets, it will be slightly more ex since it is more time consuming to pre-fabricate the no of drawers required. My kitchen contractor mentioned this to me and my hubby when we were discussing our kitchen layout. In addition if you box up the pipes, there will be extra cost. So after that add in the solid surface top cost as it depends on the brand itself so pricing will vary. However, the most costly is country style kitchen theme since it requires wood so if your kitchen is country style, that would explain why it would be ex. Maybe you should ask your contractor for a breakdown. Other than the flooring costs, the toilets cost could be another factor if you did the toilets that is. (6k+ for 2 toilets) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunBun 5 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Ya kitchen is very very expensive! That why I never do top cabinets in the end. Oh yes I forgot to mention one more thing that just came to my mind... Pinkitsch, did you do any concrete support for the sink area or not? Because this will add more cost to the kitchen quote actually but it is well worth it to have concrete support than have none? Im wondering why you are not sure why it is 25k alone for just the kitchen carpentry if you got the quote from Ho Bee. Because Ho Bee will give a breakdown in their quotes. Can you put your quotation here so that we can give suggestion? CPE sorry to hijack your thread. =x Edited October 29, 2008 by BunBun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkitsch 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2008 So sorry to all for the late reply.... i beat myself first... paiseh ah cutie....forgot to add that I'm also asking HoBee to change and replace all the windows and grilles and do laminate flooring for 2 bedrooms but I guess both shouldn't be too expensive right? Because after adding the above and doing the rest exactly the same as yours excluding fibre works, it all came up to $25k but Patrick was still kind enough to give $500+ discount but it's still over my budget. so sad So now looking around for other IDs, probably going to pick IDEAL HOUSE since it got alot of rave reviews as well but still, I'm looking forward to getting my new place and all lah. Wish me luck! ps: thanks to all for your advice and concerns, really appreciate it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
