Feniz 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) I just got the keys for my 3s with utility rm n have being calling contractors from HDB website(apparently their quotes r kinda high) n renotalk for Quotation.My Unit was super original n old with those expose wiring n those 70s round switch. So i guess nothing is done at all except for the windows since the flat was build.My idea was to have different contractors doing different stuff to save cost which seem to be the way. But i got no time n gave up the idea after doing it for awhile.(Too much Quotes to compare n i got sick of it maybe ).So i go for a few quotes from those Do everything contractor n manage to found 1 in renotalk which i think is very reasonable n professional.My reno was very simple n basic n budget was 10k only.(i think 10k quite hard lah)Eventually i manage to get Designer House Ronald to do my unit slightly more then my budget which is the best i found.Below r mostly just the basic stuffs which i really need to change.1. To hack kitchen wall tiles with original concret stove.2. To change 2 bedrooms door n main door with wrought iron gate.3. To lay Homo tiles for 2 bedrooms only plus remove stick on vinly sheet. 4. Plaster Living room n 2 bedrooms.5. Plaster Box up 3 air vent above door.6. Build 50mm base for fridge, washing machine n kitchen cabinet.7. Rewire whole house 8. Erect a wall for kitchen cabinet 9. To build a bottom only ard 7ft L shape kitchen cabinet with solid top.10. Change whole house to aluminium pipe include washing machine and kitchen sink inlet n outlet.11. Cement screening in whole kitchen n toilet ceiling including repair of spalling Concrete in kitchen n toilet n beam crack repair.12. Remove 2 fix waredrobe in the bedroom.13. Acidwash wholehouse and windows14. Labour to Install dustbin15. Labour to Install basin in the toilet.16. Haulage include n clear all debris.17. 1 L box to cover water pipe 18. Install basin n WCWork will start next week n hope all will be a smoooth process.Those looking for reasonable contractor should gave Ronald a try.His a nice n easy guy to talk to, u just tell him ur idea n he will kinda improvise it n u can choose to accept it or not.( some ideas at least)Best part is, his flexible in payment n not rushing at all to get it even after we agree on the deal.Im posting this is just to help narrow down n save time for plp like me looking for a reasonable Do everything contractor.There should be similar or better 1s out there. And i think this is one of them.:drunk::drunk: Edited October 29, 2012 by Feniz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
