panggou 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2009 I am still thinking whether to get contractor or id... contractor will definitely save quite a bit though... after reno still need the curtains / lighting costs... no planning to spend too much in total, tight budget. Hi Panggou Sounds Reasonable, tho IMHO you probably can push them down by another 1.5 - 2k. Mine is stack 17, initially also though of doing all these (L box, feature wall etc) but after getting the keys, feel that minimal alterations required (partly cos the unit not as big as i expected) so i'm just getting a contractor to do minor touch up n painting. Nice to know you. Hope to know more Carabellians here. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am also trying to ask ard is chengai better and neccesary? Was told merbau also outdoor wood. Another question i ask is, do we even know how to differentiate merbau from chengai from balau etc? If not, ppl tell u chengai but give u other stuff, u also LL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am thinking of solid surfacing, but ppl say that will be more expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am thinking of solid surfacing, but ppl say that will be more expensive. Hi all, Glad to see more people from Carabelle here. My bay window ledge is between $400 and $450. Using lamination - Formica brand. For spqi, is your contractor quoting you for the whole balcony? If it is then I guess the price is around there. One ID quoted me $900 for the planter area only. I have not finalise whether I will be doing the decking. Once I get the price, I will share it here. Edited September 2, 2009 by renoblurblur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once I get the price, I will share it here. ya, the price is for the whole balcony. for planter box, the same contractor quotes me 1200, which we think it toooo exp, although it is chengal wood. If using merbau, so far the lowest we get for the whole balcony is around 1500. Maybe we will use merbau instead, since it is much cheaper... I am also searching for a gate, any recommendation?

renoblurblur 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2009 Hi, For Gate, I called one of the contractor who left the flyer in out unit. He quoted me $600. Still hesitating whether I want to do anot. But I am interested to do the grills for the room window. Maybe we can order together to get a better price? My ID also quoted me $950 excluding GST for the planter deck. Should we order together also? Regards, RenoBB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me, i most likely will be going for the merbau wood (much cheaper) wiith goodhill as they seem to be very experience in such projects. As for painting, i managed to get one to paint my 3+1 for 800sgd. If u guys are interested, i can pass u all the contacts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for painting, i managed to get one to paint my 3+1 for 800sgd. If u guys are interested, i can pass u all the contacts. We finally decided to install laminated plywood for baywindows. $600 for a gate sounds reasonable, goodhill quotes me $780. My neighbour also want to install one, pls count we two in. We managed to cut down changal wood for whole balcony to $1900. We are also thinking to get merbau from goodhill, later may go down to see how is merbau like. Comparing merbau to barlau, which one is better? price for the two are around the same. We are not going to do painting, as we are afraid it will mass up the floors. so we will just leave the walls to white. kok, renoblurblur, i have pm my contact to you. pls keep us updated. thanks.

But hor, if you are subsale buyer, the original owner should have settled the defects for you? Can you ask them for help in going up to your unit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
