Your carpentry seems quite ex... check the actual dimension for ur kitchen cabinets

Does ceiling work include electrical works? If just do fasle ceiling then is quite ex

Does your friend provide free installation of sanitary fittings like taps and also ur hob and hoob?

Hope my comments helps

thanx bonkitty,

those are also my concerns...i find abit expensive also...but i think need to meet up and see the actual layout...or maybe negotiate on the price lor....

Sushibabe,

For your laminate flooring make sure the grade they are giving you is justified for the price. Cos I calculated an est for my bedrooms before (4rm 90 sqm). That time I used Pergo's $6.50 per sq feet to count and it comes up to about $3700. So if using the same area to divide..yours comes up to about $4.50 psf. I know the cheapest laminate flooring from Supreme can be about $3 plus psf.

I heard from my mother, a man commited himself in a unit in 79C, level 33. How can he do that! Don't how the owner will feel if his new unit has somebody die inside.

Hey droplets, i am replying to your query dated 31st August 2007. On the 30th of August before I travel oversea, I did see an ambulance park infront of 79C. When I come back lastweek and ask my mother and this is what she say "a man commited himself in a unit in 79C, level 33"

Maybe the owner should engage some sort of chanting service before the move in.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for December (Blk B) .....hopefully everyone gets their keys by year end, then we can all party

Droplets, the tooth relic one prob got ban due to the $$ issue liao, I thot maybe it is a new account by the same person. But maybe you're right, the name so close it's too obvious, so I may be wrong.

Hiya...why people choose such a forum name but the actions not "en" and not "ci" at all.

Actually my guess was right leh, I was telling HB about this and he found this thread below. Can see that it's the same person.

Sushibabe,

I refered to my fl plan and realised I remembered wrongly. My est with Pergo flooring was $2700 not $3700, so it means you were quoted about the same price for Power Dekor.

I calculated the3 bedrooms sq m and then convert to sq feet by x 11.11, it was only about 412 sq feet.

So you should realised that the reason why the ID can state Design Fees FOC is because all the basic flooring have been marked up to cover that. You can reject to do certain capentary or items they proposed but they already 'earn' their fees from the basic must do items liao. However, if you need an ID's service, it is fair to expect to pay about 1K to about 10% of reno cost. I would prefer that the fees are more transparent though.

Hmmm... think you may be right.....hey! ever consider a career in CSI? lol

Ehh actually Yes, in forensic science. But I never really watch CSI. I'm more hooked on the detective novels with similar story lines. However, I realised that these people need to study to be medical doctors first then specialize it in. Then I give up liao...

ya lor, i also got a shock why so expensive...nvm la, this quote can forget it already. i've emailed to 2 IDs for quotes too...let's see how it goes....u know ar, i ask how come the flooring no skirting, kitchen no fridge and washing base and toilet no shower kerb, she reply me say if i want, she can add in for me...crazy ar, means more $$$ ar???! then i asked how come never say about electrical works, izzit included??? she say she never quote me coz price went up and she dunno how many points i need so never quote....even more crazy, like that add up 40k izzit??? think my house is gold mine meh???

i dun believe i can't find lower quotes and better IDs....

i think i must go find a guy ID....easier to bargain...i use my power can already....

everyday i see Blk A wearing more and more crown, see already also happy....hahaha...
