[Mon56 0]

Hi All,

I've been through all the renovation forum included Renotalk and Hardwarezone, but I'm still having a little bit confusion with the quotes as I can see they playing around with the prices (lower one things and raise the other). With that said following is my quotation from my ID or contractor. Please share with me your experience and insight.

[lookaround 24]

The ID charges u GST and does not include the electrical work in the quote, ask for a more itemised quote from your ID ?

No GST from the contractor, the haulage fee from the contractor seem abit high ? How come there is 750 quote for installing bathroom items ? what are you installing in your bathroom?

Lastly, please do not take my comments seriously as i am a noob. According to the ID doing my house, the haulage fee is charge by the town council or etc, there will be a receipt stating the amount.

Yeah, I've found out haulage fee is supposed to be around $215 and provided by city council but It was the post on 2007 on this renotalk so I'm not sure what is the current price now.

Bathroom item such as W.C, Sink, etc
