Hi everyone,

Have purchased a 5room resale of about 1300sq ft and was wondering if the below quote from an ID is reasonable?

Hello...

My 1st post!

I am also reviewing the reno quotations.

Whole house painting quoted around $1.5k.

Carpentry is the killer if you have a lot of customised furniture ( I am still deliberating).

Toilet makeover around $5-6k per unit.

Kitchen I get quotes between $8-$14k.

Vinyl overlay for living, 4 rooms and kitchen about $5k.

Electrical works about $5k, excluding fittings

Still looking around before I shortlist.

Hi all, just wanted to share my renovation experience. Going through the process has been a real eye-opener for my husband and I. The short-listing process, the design process, the material selection process ... it really got quite tiring after a while. But thanks God for our ID - who also has real hands-on construction experience - who is helping us to achieve our dream home step-by-step. As I am still half-way in the process, I can't comment on the carpentry work. But if you are looking for a responsible and meticulous ID, I think you can give my ID a try. His tiling work stunned us ... I'm not sure how long it usually takes to complete the tiling process ... but ours took a good three to four days. I was really happy with the result when I saw how seamlessly the tiles were placed. We have just completed our ceiling and we are equally impressed! If you are interested, drop me a message at floracheong93@gmail.com. I will see if my id wants to link up with you.
