Songz 132 Report post Posted January 20, 2014 Keen to know this too... So far the quote I got are in the 40+K rangeJust want to check with others who have renovated their 3 room before can advise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claypot 46 Report post Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) So far the quote I got are in the 40+K rangeJust want to check with others who have renovated their 3 room before can advise Exactly what are your renovation activities and scope ? Typically it should be less than 40K. Different ppl have different scope so the costing is different. e.g. i'm not doing toilet, no wall hacking and its around $30K.

Best if you can post the quotation (minus the ID name) so that others can comments. Edited January 21, 2014 by claypot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jus4fun 4 Report post Posted January 22, 2014 Just to share, did a complete overhaul of my 28-yo 3A (74 sqm) abt 1.5 yr ago in 2012 at >$45K (prices might have changed since). Included everything except retained the 2 bedrms' flooring (overlaid with laminates) & 3 original metal door frames (living & bedrms).. also hacked the original storerm (2 walls) & re-erected it (2 new walls) into the kitchen area.However, agree with claypot that it may be difficiult to comment w/o looking at the details - scope & extent of work (e.g. how much carpentary; i have quite a fair bit) & quality of materials used (e.g. granite vs. solid surface for kitchen top) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason of not posting the quotation yet is1. due to placement of some things not yet confirm and quotation are based on few different design.2. the housing renovation pictures and quotations are in a mess thus will wait while when I am a little more free to sort out the mess of the papers.
