Renovate whole place is a vast term. Depend on what u required to renovate? Eg.Hack a wall. Setup up partition. Carpentry work. It's all costly stuff can easily reach $40K.

I agree. How much it will cost is how much you manage your wants and needs.

If you think you NEED a false ceiling then you have to pay for that...

if you think the tiles for the toilet cannot be saved then to hack and retile can cost anywhere from 3k-5k...

If you only intend to do the basics, change all the tiles and do kitchen cabinets + electrical and plumbing... I'd say 20-25k should be enough. (cheap price la... IDs will rarely give you this price.)

Should be ard 20k-25k ba

I do up my 4A - 101 sqm for less then 21k but without doing ceiling and wardrobe. But really depend on what you want. Cos mine can be even more cheaper but i chose to upgrade my laminated floor and upgrade some tile and some small small thing. If not initial quote i think ard 18k will do.

Hi Supersimon, I'm currently looking for a ID to renovate my Bishan 4s resale unit. Looking at what you've done and the pricing seems very reasonable. I'm saving my flooring as they are very new and nice. Probably with the kind of money you are spending, I could do slight more for the wardrobes

Do you mind PM me his contacts and name? Thanks very much..

Thanks for your PM. I met up with Henry after doing a search on yahoo. Contacted him and in the end I'm not very comfortable with him. In the end I got a few quotes for my 4S and they all came up to be 23- 25K without hacking my living and rooms flooring. Is that too expensive? I met up with one ID from King's Concept and he said he will ensure my 25K is well spent and he is willing to throw in more things for me like giving me living room false ceiling, two bedroom wardrobes and he will tell me more when we meet next time.

Please advise am I paying too much??? Thanks..

helo, in the 1st place, what is your maximum amount you will to throw in for this reno?

and ID ensure 25k is well spent? Is it what you wanted and required and within your budget??

Eg. Most Id will tell assure that with 40k, my 5rm resale will turn out to be decent

but the fact is i do not have a budget of 40K to start with.. hence i have no choice but to ask around for more quote base on a list of what is required

and my meagre budget of 27K.

By not share your quotation here.. item by item

then i think the experience forumers will be able to tell you what is expensive and what is not.

cheers
