stormcontrol 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) this one i have to agree....we finalised uncle to save the few thousands and uncle for me, has really no hidden costs to speak of...I just had my house warming and my guests were amazed that my reno is done with 45k (incl VO). however, we must always remind potential Ah Soon customers that uncle is not very good with datelines and he may be late (most times very late) or even miss appts yah. my reno originally supposed to take 5 weeks. i think we're looking at 10 weeks now... >_<"" btw, solid surface i sourced for Hanex brand myself and got uncle to buy from them and quote me. He's charging me $90pfr for that (this is actually a cheaper price cz the company selling the solid surface made a mistake with my order and is making it up to me) and i chose from the mid-expensive range.

familyof4 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 Yeah that's good! I find that the systems in the kitchen is the hidden cost. Like s/s dish holder is selling like sgd$180!!! Very eager to wait for Ah soon quotation. The money save can buy all the good stuff/accessories for bathroom/kitchen. Today go to sim siang choon to do research on bathroom and kitchen accessories. Most of the SIMS local brand made from china are cheaper but the quality not sure how is it. For WC, basin and sinks does Ah Soon get cheaper contractor price from supplier? this one i have to agree....we finalised uncle to save the few thousands and uncle for me, has really no hidden costs to speak of...I just had my house warming and my guests were amazed that my reno is done with 45k (incl VO). however, we must always remind potential Ah Soon customers that uncle is not very good with datelines and he may be late (most times very late) or even miss appts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmallCarrot 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Wow,seems like u got a gd deal. Most i tink prefer a run down place at a cheap price so got excuse reno è whole place.hehe. Can see f1 or not? Can hear f1 maybe Today go to expo and cannot go through all and only chit chat with 3/4 exhibitors. I came across the Unimax and decided for full solid top (island) kitchen. Seems like a good deal with luxurious package. upgrade $5 per soft closing hinge (upgrade to Excel or German Blum http://www.blum.com/sg/en/index.php) upgrade soft closing drawer $69psf for kitchen. $120psf for solid top. $320 for solid top basin (optional) can change to s/s one. Not sure Ah Soon can beat that price or not. I was told that solid top in the market have 3 range, $75psf $90psf and $120psf. But not sure how to compare the quality. the difference is 50%. a good 20ft solid top will cost additional $900. Any Ah soon customers use solid top before and what is the quality so far?

ivy 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 I may join Ah Soon fan club. I believe he has enough customer to form a local contractor union. Since so many owners can do the design themselves and choose material easily from anywhere in Singapore, owner can become the ID themselves and saving like 20%~30% cost. However, I think all sub-contractors have to pay him some insurance in case some bad workmanship require extra efforts to redo. I will also do a T-Blog to share. Mine is a very bad condition and odd-shaped but cheapest psf in central with open view to New Year Count down I can view directly live fireworks count down 2010 from my living room! 180 degree wide open unblock! hwahhh location sounds cool lor. ok ok u fixed your housewarming on 31 dec 2009, 11pm. we all cheong to your place to book a spot to see fireworks!!
