Contractor Quote On 4A Resale - Esp Flooring Seem Costly

[2359 0]

Hi

Appreciate your opnions on below quotes.

Personally, I find the items in red a little high, esp for the floorings and kitchen solid surface.

- Can anyone advise why the kitchen floorings are rather pricely?

- For the price of the vinyl flooring, I think could have done HERF (Evorich) by topping up another $400.

Thank you.

Way too expensive.. I'm shortlisting my quotes down to 2 IDs and both are giving me $110-$120 per foot for kitchen cabinet. One of them is quite reputable here in the forum too.

Solid surface price is always 2 digits only (per foot).. You can get yourself IQuartz or granite with $140 per ft and still have a lot of spare change for beer.

Hi

For kitchen cabinets, trust this equates to $220 - 240 per ft for top/ bottom?

For solid surface, the figure is $75 per ft after clarification on the length.

Will anyone like to comment on the price of the flooring, thanks

Hey,

Yeah the flooring is kinda expensive. Possible to state the brand? Yeah evorich flooring would be ideal but there are pros and cons. Pm me so I can share with you.

Hi

There are no brands given yet, pls do share the pricing for your floorings

[kangeroo168 10]

yes, flooring is expensive. can recommend u lower price ones.

wood skirting---what? wood skirting needs $1,500??? u sure or not???

vinyl floor tiles -- yes, its a bit overpriced.. what is the brand?

featurewall-- slightly higher, u can maybe shave off $100-$150

solid surface-- i find it quite reasonable, only if u are getting the 'shiny/glossy' type, as they tends to be more expensive.

glasswork--slightly higher, can shave a bit off

these are all my suggestions.

Thank you for the suggestion. How much would you recommend the skirting, glasswork, partition and windows to be shaved off?

[fsuz 2]

The painting seems quite expensive too.. you may want to ask your contractor to specify the number of colours allowed and the range you can choose from.. the amount you are paying for for the oil paint on top of the wall paint seems too ex.. Also, i assume you do not need a sealer coat for the wall?

[fsuz 2]

Oh and forgot to add.. for the carpentry, only one drawer or one set of drawers is included in the $230/ft run he quoted you? 1 drawer seems too little and it may mean that he will charge you extra for additional drawers..

Ok. Some updated quotes

Solid skirting at $6 / ft

False ceiling at $3 psf

All details updated in first post.

Saw this paint online. . Dulux Light & Space, has anyone used it before? Supposed to reflect twice as much lights in the walls
