blue_diamond 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2009 I like that idea too... might use that as alternative to tiles... wonder if other contractors can do that stainless steel sheet for me yea, that's what I thought too, I'm already cutting down on carpentry and still getting this price, sad! Plaster over tiles? hmmm... I wonder about the charge... may have to enquire.. Yes...i think there alot of others using that as alternative though. just that how much they will be charging u for the plaster and also S/S only. The charges for what ms Piglet suggest sure less than hacking de....it one way to save. Cant remeber how much it cost also... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue_diamond 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2009 how about using tempered glass as backing? think it's cheaper than stainless steel tot temper glass much more ex?this i cant confirm...just an impression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
familyof4 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2009 hmmm, yalar, have to cut some stuff, but dunno what to cut, all the tiling are the most expensive but advisable not to tile kitchen/bathroom? i know it will be a challenge because of project management... sianz liao... thanks BD... you got licence to console boh?! actually i read those houses managed by joseph seems pretty ok. then again, just a suggestion hor...i am NOT PROMOTING and I DON'T GET ANYTHING OUT OF THIS!!! actually if the condition of tje unit is acceptable to u, u may want to retain the tiles? for me, those that were left behind really not to my liking so i changed all of it. masonry works are pretty costly...

I wonder about the charge... may have to enquire.. get more quotes 1st, dun despair! i think u try to get some of the Yeakers to help u pass ur num to Yeak? i rembr they did quite a bit of reno w carpentry and the price was still within 20k+. And i think plastering+s/s backing shd be cheaper than hacking n tiling. i think u can do something like oogachaga. I rembr she did plastering over the wall tiles and lay full stretch of S/S backing.. contractor used was Henry from Impress21. how about using tempered glass as backing? think it's cheaper than stainless steel yalor... i had the impression that its more ex. That's why i dare not ask for glass backing but instead got a FOC piece of S/S for just the stove area. F4: u so cute! put big big disclaimer!

Rasp 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2009 not yet, i've only went through first round, the other few contacts I've yet to call... but losing steam liao Hi merryman, I understand how you felt. You will feel relief once you settle on one. Don't give up, get more quotes and see compare their pricing. My hb tabulated all the quotes into excel and we compared them item by item. Quite difficult to do as most companies have their own way of quoting (some quote by area, by living room, some lump all together). From there, decide on those items which you can forego or change to other alternatives. The quotation that you posted, I think the hacking seems quite high. Does it already include the removal of debris and haulage of sand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
