I am looking for a trustworthy ID too. What I find might be a issue to this quote is :To fabricate 2 units of laminated solid plywood kitchen cabinet c/w abs trimming as per design proposed - $2970, the length is not being identify. If the quote is for 10 feet then its actually quite expensive, if thats for 20 feet, then its actually a good deal I suppose.

Ah... I see... I guess it's because the contractor has viewed my place and has been informed of what I want. Maybe that's why.

It would be about 16 feet in total. So that should be reasonable I suppose?

hi bro,

if 16ft means like that its $185 per feet which is very expensive already.

maybe u can look around.

Oh dear... Then how? :/

Not that I've made any payments yet but I guess I have received even higher quotation before and this seems the lowest.

Got lobang to recommend?

You can try those IDs along Balestier road, their price are generally market range and quite reasonable. I have not yet found an ID that I really trust or the price is really cheap, still trying to find one.BTW after asking for 5-6 quotes, I feel that those IDs online usually quote higher compare to those with a proper physical shop.

[ericgan10 1]

Bro,

what princessjia say is correct.

U can try those balestier ones too.

But I realise the smaller n altas the ids firm, the higher the prices is. This is what I found out after talking to a few altas coy where else the bigger ones are average price. If the firms have very nice designs for u, even higher. I got 1 they charge 2.5k for designing fees if u do not let them renovate. Look around more. Cheers!

Hey, thanks for the heads up but isn't that much more costlier than my current quote?

Nevertheless, i've just engaged the contractor who quoted me as above peepz!

It's not easy to compare itemized i realize.. It's all about the final figure actually, with them just shifting the numbers around. :/

[MissySoniaLin 4]

Agrees but every cents worth it's value haha. No harm asking for more quotes but most important is they provide a good job and handover the unit in time which we consumer wants.

Hi all,

If you are interested, I can recommend you my friend which is in the ID firm, I could help you get a discounted price.

I'm also getting him to help me renovate my new BTO flat and so far so good. Not much hassles and issues. Good patience and provides good advises. I'm quite satisfied with his help and advise.

You might want to try asking him for a quote. Definitely we all want a good deal with good workmanship right? No harm comparing with others and fetch the best out of them.

If interested, pm me for his contact.
