However would like all the brothers here to help see and comment on which area you think is pricey and I will then research on that area for cheaper solution.

i think the prices charge is reasonable, it's general contractor price. Perhaps you may want to find a carpenter to check quotes for wardrobe and display cabinet, to find out if your contractor overcharge you. check our with your contractor what type of ICI paint he use, and how many colors you can choose from. also type of material use to build the wardrobe and display cabinet.

Dish rack above kitchen $100 see what type.

Most of them seems to rust for a $100 S/S rack.

W/C and basin, you can buy your own. You won't know if you like the one they supplied.
