OldEA 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2013 Hello all renotalkers, I just got hold of my new EA in woodlands and I have been meeting contractors & ID's. I realized that I am really blur at how to evaluate my quotation from these contractors & ID's. I do not have a benchmark to know if I am been cut like carrot or am getting a good deal. So I decided to paste one of my quotations from one of the contractor/ID and ask for your advice. Can you'll help me to tell me if the pricing I am getting is good ? bad? shocking? so cheap you want to scream! etc..... Can you also tell me if I am been cut like a carrot? and what should the normal price be? Here is my quotation, and hope everyone can help me pls....

angmoh 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 "To supply labour to install 02 nos of hand spary tap. - $700" :jawdrop: i believe you are referring to S$70.00?A quick glance, pricing is a bit on a high side, but still acceptable. For your info, my EA 142m , overhaul, cost me about 55k inclusive electrical works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldEA 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 Hi Angmo, Thank you so very much for replying. you are so kind to take time to reply me. Oh the spray tap yeah...I meant 70 not 700 oops! My EA is 174 square meters so is that the reason why it is more expensive? Can you tell me which aspects are on the high side? I would try to negotiate with the contractor. Appreciate any help you can offer me. I am not doing total overhaul as its pretty costly. Everyone is quoting from 80 - 100 K.

May_dream1 14 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 you have such a big EA!!! bigger than any flats that i have heard of. no total costs so i don't know whether its really ex or not. sometimes, its better to look at overall as some contractor/ID charge cheaper on some items, but more ex on some. since its a total amount, then can see clearly whether its ex or not. but better to list down individual items but when compare, better to do overall.hope it helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ucypmas 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 If your flat is very large, usually things dependent on area will cost more - eg hacking, false ceiling, painting etc.Your tiling cost looks ok - maybe you can work out the sq ft of the toilets / kitchen (floor + walls) being tiled and check the psf. Anything below 6 psf would be good price, but they never said what type of tiles they will give you.Kitchen cabinet @ 110 pft looks reasonable. Materials also not specified so can also turn out to be expensive.What kind of study table are you building that will cost 2.2k? Buy from IKEA bro - can do it 4x over.No paint work? No other carpentry work? No electrical work? Wait until you ask them to install extra sockets or light switches - sure kana kuto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
