tanks 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2016 hi all, I went to a few ids and quote price varies a lot from 63k to 72k for my resale 4rm whole house hack, i duno which is reasonable or overcharged.

He also showed me normal workmanship and prices too, its cheaper than this quote a bit more only. So i think its worth paying for the carpentry. Do let me know if the price is ok. feedback pls. greatly appreciated. thanks all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bunnybluey 2 Report post Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Difficult to comment on pricing unless materials used are known but perhaps you can clarify on the followings if you're considering them For wardrobes in the bedrooms, do you want coloured or white internal pvc? There's a price difference. For the bottom kitchen cabinets & wardrobes in bedrooms, do you need drawers? If yes, does the quotation include drawers or is separate charge? If includes, how many drawers per wardrobe/kitchen cabinet & the cost for additional drawer? If doesn't include & you need it, get them to quote in as well, at least under optional like how much per drawer & any size limitation for each drawer? Drawers cost more than just shelves, so besides comparing cost, need to know exactly what's & what's not included in the quote so that you don't get a surprise after you signed the contract. Anything that the contractor/ID promised you, get them put down black & white in the quote. Also for kitchen cabinets, you don't need them to install hood & hob? The glass backing for kitchen, is it tempered glass? Asking as it's stated tempered glass for shower screen in MBR toilet but didn't mention it's tempered glass for kitchen. Are you changing the bedroom doors? If not, please make sure contractor would make good if his people were to spoil your doors during the renovation & had this stated black & white too. I encountered this, my bedroom doors were bloated at the bottom after reno, they were dismantled during wet works & chucked at a corner, probably the bottom got soaked somehow, but my ID isn't good to make good.
