To be honest the study table from top to bottom does not look to worth that kind of money.. but out of courtesy i keep this to myself. This is already the 4th contractor i approached... as budget is tight.. at most $20K, the moment most ID heard my budget they turn unfriendly and uninterested in my business. This time round i kept mum about my budget and this is what i get... Got my keys on 22nd september, after 2 months and yet unable to find a contractor... the house seating there for 2 months liao... Maintainence fees at $220 per month like down the drain... so really hoping any kind souls out here can help me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charemme 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Basically what kind of help you need? Recommend ID or go thru the quote.. To be frank, for a quote like this.. how much u can lower than... well to me.. no need to argue on the price vs design.. if the price of the designer is if we cant afford.. we walk away.. the design is his pride.. he wan such a high price, than let him be. Why dun you take our ID's contact and ask for quote. Cuz i see your quote u not doing anything major.. except just enhancement to make it look better right? OMG, i just saw the book shelves also cost $3600....speechless Than I total up the quotation, you are going to pay $32900 for this amount of work (did i count wrong??) that is about the amount im paying for my HDB 5rm (123sqm) ley Paying $220 for maintainence fee is better than rushing thru to get a expensive ID.

Actually i have given up trying to negotiate with the ID for a better quote... I was hoping kind souls here can recommended value for money ID and has first hand good experience to share... Actually the maintainence fee is alright... but paying so much for so little is not alright... if not i would have sign on the contract and rush the work done.. Fellow friends who had value for money ID can PM me their contacts.. maybe i can quote your name too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
