In my humble opinion, it is near impossible to have all that done in 30k or under. I have just completed a renovation for 4-rm in Bukit Panjang (2 bathroom overhaul, kitchen floor tile and minor carpentry and cornice works) and it already cost around 25k. If you are able to get a quote for 30k or less, you definitely have to very very careful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metalbone 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2011 frankly the term 'designer wall tiles' has no meaning if they restrict it to $3 psfbecause anything below $5psf chances are is from msia or taiwan or ROCfor italian tiles or real designer tiles, expect >$6psfof course they maybe refering to msia/taiwan/ROC designers btw $12k for tiling is crazy, unless is marble flooring not homog tiles? or your floor area super big?My floor area is 111sqm 5 room HDB, not that big.How much was your tiling works?
