Wah... noticed that there's alot of flashy terms. e.g. designer kitchen tall unit cabinet, glass splashback...

But in short i think this is expensive quote... Good luck.

I don't like your quotation especially having to fork out money to lay floor protection and clearing of debris. I never pay a single cents for these items. I will be pissed if i see such nonsense. Your kitchen is too expensive if that is to be my own quotation. Is your ID located somewhere in kaki bukit area?

[DKCH 0]

Your kitchen woodwork is expensive.

I also got quotes for 15 feet cabinets. Just FYI, got from 2 different ID firms.

15 feet top and bottom same price, no diff. So 30 ft = SGD3600.

Solid surface top for 15 feet = SGD1050 (not sure what's the brand actually)

And no 3% nonsense.

Thanks but definitely SAD to hear about what you guys respond to my kitchen quotation, "EXPENSIVE", "HIGH SIDE" However, juz a bad news telling you guys that we've gone ahead with it liao... due to my better half quickly put down the 10% and then another 50%..... **sigh** **sad**

It's obviously we have became the carrot head liaooo... so stupid. Some more, the kitchen work is somehow stuck there.... **shake head** **sigh**

I felt the same way..... TS, think carefully...lots of other ID for u to choose in this forum. (Atleast i think i had a good one)

[DKCH 0]

Don't worry TS. Just have a chat with your renovator, ask them to throw in some freebies. Like, maybe sink, hood and hob, cash vouchers, etc.

( they will provide you with an itemize quotations after you sign up with them, is this the practice?

Basic package Price @$6,288 for a 4rms unit from another ID firm

Living room with homogenous tiles with skirting and chemical wash before hand over. (no mention of HS and service yard )

Haulage fees ( is this a must? mine no hacking ).

3 Bed rooms with good quality laminated floorboard with skirting (cement screed by HDB) ??

A word of advice..... dont be swayed by the cheap package. Its a bait to get you to sign. Once that is done, a lot of hidden cost will surface. I suggest you decide what you want to do with your renovation and get quotes from several ID/contractors to quote and compare. I have visited this reno show also and find that in my opinion Orange C,Sky Crea, and HomeGui are more relaible in terms of pricing base on your requirements. You can sit down with them and tell them to propose your requirements and an estimated quote with minimal hidden cost. Good luck.

I was looking at the (10 color of paint), LOL. Who is the ID or which family used 10 color to have thier house done? Hmm, you have to be very caution about the terms they use cos contactors are tricky. Ask they to explain all the terms and put their dimission in. If you cant understand, ask them to draw out on the floor on scale to show you.

I was very impress by this ID call Daniel, he is the guy who really use a chalk to draw and explain in detail on which terms he used. This make me assign him as my ID. (Try to contact him at 83006060 )

Yup. $3.80psf for Pergo is quite ok.Normally price range from $3.50 to $3.90 for Pergo AC3. I am going direct to Pergo agent for the laminates. I have decided on the AC5 range which is more expensive but have the colour and design I like. As for renovation, I am in discussion with the neighbourhood contractor.
