wennykoh 2 Report post Posted April 26, 2010 Hi wenny, thanks for the welcome iirc, you are also an EM owner and sourced for a number of contractors by yourself? Pei fu. How is your reno going? Hi qezash, After reading many posting in this forum, I realized my ID's mark up at least 30 to 60% on my reno items, even though this ID's quotation was the cheapest among the other 2 IDs'. Thus I omitted many reno items and decided to out source to other contractor in order to do a complete renovation with the limited budget I have. The liaison and coordination was a lot of work, but definitely worth the effort as I'm able to save $10k. My reno is almost done, waiting for the carpentry work to be completed by this week before I can move in on 8 May 10. Wish you a smooth reno journey...

Thanks wenny, hopefully the rest of your reno has no hiccups. I have only gotten my laminates direct from the flooring company and already coordination just for that is trouble enough So I can't imagine how you did it, but being able to save 10k is a lot!

Haha really ar. I was a bit apprehensive especially before they did the grouting. Looks better after, but not the typical white kitchen tiles I suppose. Wow your eyes are sharp eh, can read my carton boxes. Ya, I got the inner flame hob! Lol. I got the 3 burner also, hubby said he wants to use it to cook maggi mee :/ Rather ex eh the hob! I was only looking at turbo previously which was probably half the price. I hope the reviews are worth it. Edited April 27, 2010 by qezash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
