Actually the quote you have there is pretty reasonable, but then have u seen the worksmanship of the ID? Edited April 30, 2012 by sandywu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandywu 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2012 After seeing my cousins' renovation, reading the forum with so many complains. I came to understand one thing. Worksmanship, quality and material is the more impt thing when it comes to renovation. Work within your budget. Asking discount, sometimes might compromise the standard of the quality of the work done. Trust me."Cheap and good" There will definitely be there, but then if you unlucky. What you get is cheap and bad, in the end, might have to send more $$ to remove and redo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xKimi 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2012 Thanks all for advice and comments. @sandywu: I will get the contractor to add in specifically for the kitchen top. My contractor abit old school, so might not have been specific. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandywu 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2012 Hidden cost are the killer in renovation, esp to our own pocket. Misunderstanding also occurred at the same time. Old school or new school, Must make sure the job done well, if not gonna regret and waste more money. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
