Timeframe And Cost For Renovation

[lord vader 0]

Hi folks,

Have been reading the various experiences of the forummers for a while. Have gone through my 1st appt and waiting for 2nd appt end Oct.

I am considering the following type of reno. Can anyone who have done anything similar be able to share with me how long will it approximately take to complete the reno?

1. Bedrooms (x3)

- Hack and retile (homogeneous tiles)

- False ceiling and some downlights

2. Living room

- Hack and retile (homogeneous tiles)

- False ceiling and some downlights

3. Kitchen

- Hack and retile flooring and wall tiles.

- Kitchen cabinet

4. Bathrooms (x2)

- Hack and retile flooring and wall tiles.

- Change toilet bowls and box up pipes

- Install new shower and instant water heater

5. Painting (whole house)

- approx size of house is 113 sqm

6. Change Doors

- Bedrooms (x3)

- Toilets (x2) (glass door)

- Main door

- Kitchen (glass door)

7. Install new aircon

8. Change lighting

No other carpentry to be done. Window grilles remain status quo.

Any estimates for timeframe? What kind of budget (excluding aircon and lighting) should I be looking at for the above, assuming I am using a contractor instead of an ID?

Thanks in advance for your sharing

I am doing my reno wif Ho Bee (a contractor). My house is a 5 room flat, 126sqm. Since I am not doing my living room, I dunno how much the charges would be to hack and retile living room...but I think it depends on how big is the area...

Both toilets reno (hack tiles, retile both floor and walls, waterproofing treatment, hack toilet bowls and installation of new ones, installing wash basin, taps, toilets accessories) - ard 5k

Kitchen reno (hack tiles, retile floor only, cabinets ard 38ft + solid surface ard 18ft) - ard 6.2k

Glass door in kitchen (sliding door, only 1 side) - 800

Painting (5 + 1 colours) - 1.6k

Change lighting - 1.5k (we change the entire house lighting)

Main door (we got from an independent supplier, might be cheaper if you get it from ur contractor) - 600

Toilet door (2 alum bi-fold doors) - 500

All the tiles used are of $3 psf...
