MaCe 3 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 should i or jus let the contractor settle everything?sometimes , you just need to let the contractor earn some money while at same time letting him know that you can actually get a similiar item cheaper elsewhere. Meanwhile halfway thru the reno, you are bound to add certain things here and there, thats the time WHEN YOU ASK HIM FOR FREE or at a very low price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kensanctuary 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 I think u have to see the chute to compare the material. Heard some offer u cheap cheap, but the material maybe not so good. The one my ID install is stanless steel chute with boltless & slim & air-tight.But HDB got put standard price is $180 for baseline. So, u should not get more that that, unless they give u 18K gold plated I also interest in maintaining the polished marble floor, any1 see any small tool that can do the DIY polishing ourself?

hello88 2 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 Hi Hello88,Good idea! which shop did you go? Do you mind sending me the contact atshen_kids@yahoo.comMaCe,my hubby bought from one hardware shop in our neighbourhood then got the contractor's workers to install for us. We did told the contractor that his quotation for the rubbish chute (+ installation) was really too ex and eventually they allowed us to buy from elsewhere n gave free installation. At least yrs a mere $40 difference, ours was almost double and I jokingly asked if my rubbish chute wld be gold plated when I first saw the quotation .
