Hi Ren

Oic..... now I understand why some of the contractors I met gave me a lump sum. I thought they dun want me to cut their price! Thanks.

Trust me, lump sum easier to cut

If anyone of you are considering of installing/refurbishing parquet floor, I can work with you directly instead of getting a contractor to do it.

By going direct, we can eliminate the middle man thus you save paying the markup which can be hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the size of the project.

If you are interested, at no obligation, we can take a look at your floor plan and give you a quote.

You can call email me at alfred.cheong@live.com

i jus reno my 4 room 94sqm...and to be honest, some of your items are quite cheap. its almost contractor price.

1 To supply & lay 600x600mm homogeneous floor tiles for living room, 3 bedrooms & $5,000

entrance steps c/w skirting.(super gloss) [i think normal rate is 6.80psf, mine too]

7 To supply & install stainless steel piping for whole house. $580.00

17 To supply & install 3 nos solid nyatoh door for 3 bedrooms. $750.00

[during my own search, some of the "factory" price are alr $230 at least w install]

21 To supply & install 2 nos aluminium bi-fold door for 2 bathrooms. $360.00

[$190 per bifold is quite cheap]

but some can be sourced yourself to save costs (such as 10 and 28).
