CChuan 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2011 Quote Simon: "So to give a rough guide. If your area is big and 2 coats of Melamine.Per square feet, the market charge SGD2.50/sqft retail.Please note that you have to add in the management/supervision cost and transport cost.Normal transport cost is about sgd50/trip easily.Manpower worker cost if it is skilled foreign worker is usually charged at sgd80/day.Supervision charged are usually sgd100/day.etc ... etc ...Usually water-based coat is charged at SGD3.50/sqft retail."Hi bro i'm confused by your calculation .. I passed by a paint shop and was quoted $35/L for water based lacquer.According to the specifications on the container, it says the coverage of water based lacquer is roughly 10m2 / L which works out to be roughly 100 sqft/ L. That should mean water based lacquers are $0.35/sqft and not $3.50/sqft, unless you mean $3.50 includes cost of labour, but you mentioned that "skilled foreign worker is usually charged at sgd80/day" ?My understanding is that coatings are the smallest part of cost in the flooring works, $3.50/sqft sounds outright scary Just trying to clarify, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indradarni 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2011 How abt for condos? Mine a 3 bedroom condo want to do matte polishung for me parquet floor. Is there price difference between hdb and condo? Thx. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morganwu 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2011 @indradarnino there shouldnt be a difference. even if there is, not much.@CChuan$3.50psf includes labor and everything else, it is not for the water based coating only. btw, water based coatings require a min of 2 coats, recommended 3 coats. hence the cost is closer to $1psf than $0.35psf for the coatings alone.
