aerial77_00 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2009 Hi all, We will be collecting our unit (resale) sometime between end of the year amd Feb '09. We got a renovation company that is listed in HDB website but we felt that certain items may be priced unreasonably. - vanity cabinet (5ft full height) = $1440.00 - vanity cabinet (3ft) = $840.00 - 2 x shower screens = $900.00 Can anyone advice the pros and cons if we were to opt out the above 3 items from the package and get another renovation company (if we can get a lower quotation) to do up our 2 toilets ? Are shower screens that expensive ? BTW was the quotation above reasonable ? For master bedroom, we wanted a simple vanity top with suspended cabinets below the sink, full width mirror (5ft) and cabinets above the mirror. Same concept will be used for the common toilet. Pls advice. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hihihi 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2009 comment on the shower screen. Yes, it is that expensive. actually $450x2 belongs to those ordinary, probably brandless de, but of coz still tempered glass. But glass thickness determines the price. Taking into account the contractor added in some profit margin himself, probably will be super lousy de. Yes, u can take out the shower screen and directly source for contractor. but price is still abt there. Good thing is that u can do that ANYTIME u like, no hurry.

Hi HiHiHi, Hmm it is that expensive huh ? Okie at least we know the price range. Since the price is abt the same if we were to source out another contractor to do the shower screen, might as well we do it with the current contractor huh ?

If it is solid surface, does the price reflects the material mentioned ? coz they nv wrote in black and write, worry that will be additional cost for that on top of the quotation they given. Base on the quotation for my hse given by my contactor, the price roughly will be like that ba. vanity cabinet 5ft full height with solid surface and included mirror - 1350 vanity low cabinet 3ft with solid surface - 550 shower screen 2 nos- 760.

One time dirty the house, one time clean the house. actually not true. As I said, shower screen can do anytime without much hassle at all. It can be done in a few hours time. If you let contractor do, they'll add in own profit margin coz they also sub out to shower screen contractor to do (who run errants for you for FOC?). Even if the price remained the same, the thickness of glass you get will be thinner. Pple wants thicker glass for lesser risk of shatter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
