sanpokchubby 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2009 Btw, not sure if it is a silly question or not, but do we need to buy cooker and hob (hob is 抽油烟机right?) or is it usually in the renovation package? Some reno package also include things like air-con, TV, etc... is it common? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some reno package also include things like air-con, TV, etc... is it common? not silly q leh. dat time i only deciding between cooker hood and hob. it all depends on your cooking pattern. do you cook heavy duty? or light cooker? Asian cooking? 2 or 3 burners? normally my advise to you, better dun take the so called 'freebies' in the reno package! becoz most of the time u yourself the dear consumer will be paying for it! i did went to several ID firms last time, all promising 'freebies' after that i found that in the reno quotes most prices are jacked up....

I not sure if the ID firm is new or not leh... yeah i look at the pics i like, but then, $25k for reno is very diff nowadays, somemore include appliances & funiture, nope...dun tink so. for furniture i teach u, buy sat Straits Times newspaper go to those PLAYfair road warehouse sales, can save a lot of money....but then bear in mind that the furniture is only very very basic, nothing fanciful at all. electrical appliances can buy at sale times too, where you can get NTUC Vouchers or TAKA vouchers when u buy LCD Tv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually those that offer the extra "freebies" would have calculated in the cost of the freebies inside the renovation price that you would be paying...

nirvana 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2009 Hob refers to stove. Hood is the thingy above your stove to suck up all the oil when cooking to keep your kitchen or house smokefree and food smell free. I think even with ID, still need to hunt down all the appliances yourself leh. Quite fun to hunt around for good bargain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
