I received a quote from E and almost fainted!

We are doing our renovation soon and we love your concept of replacing ugly wire boxes with black pipes, mind pm me your quotation and ID's contact?

Hi all. Very busy with moving - we are in the final week before handover.

We will reply as soon as we can - but it might take awhile. Somehow I can post to the forum via iPhone but PM needs my PC... No time to do so at home yet. Sorry and thanks for understanding.

We will probably be posting (at least) two more posts:

1. On Taobao shopping (advice on what to buy and what NOT to buy... Let's just say I have a "sinking" feeling about this post. Hoho.)

2. Our completed home

Seeya everyone at the weekend!

Emiclus: I'm quite surprised too!! We found them reasonable compared to other IDs/contractors we met up with... :/

I heard that this year they started charging GST... Maybe that's the reason?

Sorry to hear that!

Maybe this might help:

For the items in the quotation that we found expensive, we would show them other quotations with lower unit price - and they would usually be willing to come down to match it.

If not, you seem like a really nice person so I really hope you can find an awesome contractor!!

I will also be sure to mention that they are more expensive now! -rawr-
