I think it's not possible to comment unless there is more specificity in the details

For instance the length of the carpentry quoted, usually in 'per foot run' and up to 8 ft (2.4m) in height.

Same goes for the length of wall being hacked, and length of cesarstone

For electrical works, how many electrical points? I assume they are unconcealed.

For the bedroom and bathroom doors, what is material is it?

[Asking4Help 1]

What type of Caesarstone top are they using..? As I believe there are different pricing for the material or texture used...

I believe you can get around $3800+ for the Mit Sys 4 Inv over here in the forum...

Need more details like measurement for your carpentry etc...

2. Construct kerb for cabinets $1100

3. Bathroom supply and install glass panel 1200mm length $400

4. Bathroom cabinet 700mm $450

5. Bathroom hanging storage with mirror door 2200mm length $480

6. Cleaning and protection works $500

7. MIT Inv System 4 supply and install $4350

8. Electric works excl light fittings $650

9. Floor to ceiling shoe cabinet @ dining area 1650mm length $1760

10. Low and hanging cabinets in kitchen with laminated finish 2200mm length $2280

11. Low and tall cabinets @ stove and oven with laminated finish 3000mm length $1450

12. Caesarstone top 3000mm and 3875mm length $2630

There was no mention on the number of electrical points and yes they are concealed. We should have a better idea when we see the flat next week, that's why this quote did not indicate the lengths.

These numbers are giving me sleepless nights ...

Thanks Devilaz! This means I need to have a good chat with this ID. Your advice on the electric works and laminated finish is well-taken, will certainly clarify them.

From how vague the quotation is, we suspected more top-ups may be necessary in due course, so we'll see...

Will share the more concise quote after we sit down with the ID...

Also, are kerbs necessary for kitchen cabinets?

[Asking4Help 1]

maybe you can consider suspended kitchen cabinet..? that will do away the kerb...

Hi bro, i take it as standard points for your electrical works.

Height for new flats normally is around 8ft - 9ft

Air con you can get more more cheaper outside which is $3600-$3800

Kerb need not $1100, thats crazy. Around $350.

Carpentry works are also high, i can get you at least 10% lower

Caesarstone top i don't know what quality. In the market got many china products.

i rather you go for Quartz or Iquartz, Highly heat resistant and scratch proof.

You can pm me if you needs more details. Cheers~~

I do agree from Contractor Price. It is too pricey.

suggest DrAn to find more quotation rather then asking back on him. Grab a few more quotations and you will be able to see the different.

As for Quartz or Iquartz the quality is great. Yet to take note on where is it from.

[ContractorPrice 7]

Thanks Bro Devilaz, as for Iquartz, they ever pass me a copy of tested proven lab result so I trusted them. Been using them for all my customers cabinets. Cheaper ones are solid surface but it's not heat resistant and not scratch prove.

ID normally charges are higher then direct contractor cause their profit is based on how much they top up from contractor cost.

Positive points for ID is they are able to design your whole house to showroom standard and some fantastic ID can design the whole house to give you a wow factor.

Direct Contractor takes jobs from ID or salesman. We gives better after sales services cause we are direct and confirm better pricing also. If you knows what you want already it's better you look for direct contractor. We can give you advices on your requests and some ideas as well.
