That's what I think also. Furthermore inclusive of wiring for the whole hse. Only thing is they are contractors not ID's thats why $$$$ difference.

Hi, my contractor is not from this forum. So cannot comment on the workmanship or other things yet. I'll update the progress on my T-Blog from time to time once the Reno starts.

Cheers.

Didn't see the workmanship yet so cannot say the pricing very reasonable.

later all because of LOW $$$ , workmanship cannot make it also no use.

Hi MTlot,

That is really a good price! I am having a 25k budget also but only manage to reno a 3-room.

I wanted to run LAN cables also, the trunking will be surface run right? I thought it is going to be quite unsightly. Still considering whether to do it a not...

Bro, HDB only can do surface run, cannot conceal. If conceal next time sell, got problem. My LAN cables follow SCV point, so can use the SCV trunking and won't be so unsightly.

Waiting for bank to come back with the loan approval should be within this week. After that will be shopping for all the parts needed..

Wow. $25k is cheap for so many things.

Can recommend your contractor to me.

I am doing minor reno only.

He didnt show u one of the completed project meh?u can check out his workmanship by then before signing the dotted line,and ask if its the same set of worker doing your reno.

That i forget to ask. As i know from what he told me, most of his projects are from landed property's. I've been to 1 of the landed renovation sites for work purpose and I can tell you that the so called property Consultant will come and check on the reno progress and damm fussy. This cannot, that cannot kana few times from them then my boss decided not to take this kind of jobs anymore, but mine job scope is the security part. Don't know if they treat Main Con the same.

Hi MTLot,

Welcome and congrats on your new place!

We also ran cat6 wiring for all my four rooms + living room. Think should be quite useful. We didnt conceal the trunking/casing. For ease for future repairs/ maintanance. Hee..
