boyblunder 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2011 I think it's better to state the type and cost of materials. ie type of tiles, cost of tiles. Dimensions of the tv console, so on and so forth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dimensions of the tv console, so on and so forth.Thks boyblunder for your comment , will check with the ID again but what do you think about this quotation in general? Will it be cheaper if i outsource the window grilles and window glasses and 3 bedroom doors? Btw, Electrical wiring has not included and will be in separate order.

I think anything outsourced will definitely be cheaper as the ID will need to take a cut from contractor too. Thats for my case at least. eg, my railing were quoted by ID at 7000, but i managed to source it at 4.3k. Just one example, but u must be willing to scour the web for info.

Hee. Thanks footprint, finally see u post in my t-blog Been running through the quotation with my wife n filter out those items that might not want to do so that reno can be done within my budget. I think will only need haulage (sand) for the living area and small part of kitchen as intends to hack part of the wall like urs but will be a full one and open concept. Do u think that the ID will reveal every details such as materials and measurement before sign on the dotted line? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

footprint 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Open concept concern will b cooking hor.For mine, most air flow from kitchen, thus if no door/window, I think the cleaning afterwards will b horrible. Haa..Just to take note ah.Not sure if will b same as mine. Else u can do something like mine, but go for frameless window! Guess will b so nice!

Guess will b so nice!Yup, agree with u on the cleaning up the place after cooking, footprint. But then think back, my service yard is facing along the corridor towards the lift landing, so might not get much wind from then as well. The most, will have to minimise the windows opening when cooking then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
