Slightly more than our initial budget (around 5-10%) because later on we have opt in for few optional items (e.g. acid wash kitchen and toilet flooring, upgrade paint from ICI pentalite to Delux wash & wear, get new main gate and door, change the kitchen sliding door to slide & swing door, add 1 more power point, get BLUM lever for dish rack and DTC slow close track, box up trunking etc).

But I think the detail quote really helps to prevent/minimize any surprise, at least for our case, most of the cost increase is due to us opt in for better options.

Only at one point we found the lighting installation charge at updated quote (electrician update Ray after job completed) become much higher than first quoted, upon checking the quote ourselves then find out Ray quotes base on previous number of lighting points which is part of our fault for overlook the quantity lah, haha... 

Based on previous quotation and we've expected 5-10% more than our budget when we opt in those items. 

Received the final quotation yesterday for last 10% payment upon completion and to our surprise the total doesn't exceed our budget (30k), hahaha...

Renovation Progress - 24 Nov 2016, Day 34

Judging our renovation will be completed 20 Nov, we have request Vincent to proceed with curtain installation. He has scheduled 24 Nov 11:30am, since we don't have much annual leave left, we have gave him the number lock passcode and he proceed to install the curtains on scheduled date.

I'd expect some may interested to know his contact after seeing his work, his phone number is  nine three eight four nine two two eight, if you would like know to know how much we spent, please pm me, thanks.

Living room - The door smith is installing the gate and door at the same evening and tied the curtain to right hand side to not hinder his work...

Master bedroom

Renovation Progress - 26 Nov 2016, Day 36

Renovation done with plumber install the sink mixer, paint touch up and put on kitchen sliding & swing door. get the washing machine and fridge delivered by mega discount store and perform first round of clean up.

Plumber has installed our Blanco Spirit-S pull out sink mixer, very solid build and looks very stylish, it has a smooth action and the pullout is extremely useful from prevent water from spill out.

We bought Electrolux fridge and washing machine, the ETE5720AA fridge comes with auto ice maker (still have to fill water bottle though) which is quite handy. We also bought the SimpleHuman bag dispenser, this holder is really a wonderful buy, it looks slick yet hold loads of carrier bags and they are so easy to pull out.

Kitchen - Install the Slide & Swing door

Final round of touch up paint, really love the charcoal slate color, you may think that the dark grey will make the room smaller, but it is an interesting versatile neutral color which just make other things pop

Nice home you have there. is ll

[pjsh 1]

hi there! would you be willing to share your id/contractor contact and your quotation please?
just bought a place with a similar layout too!

also, did you leave the access to the boxed up pipes behind the washing machine? am thinking of doing a tabletop which would mean no access to the pipes if anything goes wrong!
