its better to indicate the size of your flat and your floor plan.

Some units have more window areas, so windows will cost more, etc. Bigger units = more stainless steel for piping, etc.

just curious, one set of wooden bi-fold costs $1340? sounds expensive to me.

Basically u can't compare reno quotes paple to apple, some "intangible" factors do matters like delivery timing, quality o/p, not-calculative, coordination between sub-con, etc. A "good" quotation should be clear & transparents with figures likes psf, tile price's range, etc otherwise the ID can easily "manipulate" the material, psf etc. Your quote seems lack this features, ask the ID to re-quote with details, see mine below (finalised after 3rd round of 4-eye meeting) and yet have some discrepancies with actual as built.(see yellow highlighted). My condo was done up by this id as well, 3 yrs ago.

hi bepgof,

thanks for your input! the quote was by a contractor so he said that's as detailed as he can get. had to check with him and note those down. i.e. the range for floor tiles were $3psf and those for walls were $2.40psf, laminate brands were power dekor and some others i haven't heard of etc. nice place you have there
