bengpoh 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 Hi all, I had just completed my renovation works few days ago for my bto 4rm flat in buangkok green.Had visited a few IDs and renovation firm, but it was rather pricey and becos it's a small job, many contractors charged me quite expensive.Luckily while talking about this in the office 2 months, I got a contact from my colleague. She had referred me to this contractor where she had engaged previously from in this forum referred by someone. Though it's not a designer's work, Im still very happy with all the work that was completed within 3 weeks and wish you share with you guys. So if any of you don't mind getting their work done by direct contractor instead of IDs, can try call him and ask for quote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, he can't meet us on sun! so I guess I have to take a day off from work tomorrow to meet him at our place. Initially wanted to meet during the night, but had forgotten that there's no light in there. haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

annieaum 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2013 Guys, finally settled everything for my renovation. Cost was way much lower then my budget. Let me list few of the items and share with you guys. The contractor had been very nice and patient to answer all our doubts. Didn't really ask for discount, but he rounded off the figure for us which i think it's quite reasonable.1. Painting for whole house (max 4 colors) - $12502. silver aluminium sliding window at yard area - $2803. 3nos laminated door for bedroom @ $250/ea - $7504. 2 set frameless shower screen @ $380/ea - $7605. 6ft wardrobe at mbr - $11706. 5ft wardrobe at room 2 - $9757. 5ft wardrobe at rm 3 - $9758. 32 ft top & bottom kitchen cabinet for both sides. - $30409. 16ft quartz table top - $1520This are basically some of the items that im doing. Renovation starts next thurs! Thanks "bengpoh" for the good recommendation! He told me you didn't even visit your place till the renovation is done! Is that true?!

Renovic 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 Hi Bengpoh or AnnieAum,Would you be able to share your contractor's contact? I'll be expecting to collect my keys really soon, but have yet to do any research on designs yet. But I think having a trustworthy contractor whom is able to give a reasonable quote and quality works will definitely come in handy.Regards,Renovic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
