[nichiyobi]

CAN WHOEVER GOING TO POST THEIR QUOTATION LIST ALSO INCLUDE PICTURES OF THEIR RENO?

Almost every HP in the market now have camera. Is it so hard to take a picture and upload here?

I believe if not all but majority user here are not internet "dummy" and also are "young pp" (hardly be age 60 right?)

There is so many users here and keep telling other pp how good their ID/Contractor was. Some pp even have like hundreds and thousands of Post number. It make me wonder if their reno ever really complete or they too rich so keep having reno?

so pls... post pics...

Else everyone also can say "My House very nicely done at low price if you are keen can email me."

Sorry if this posting "hurt" some here.
Thank you for the understanding for the benefit of all.

- rebuild 2 walls for a room and storeroom.
- hack the kitchen sink area (with concrete) and wooden cupboard....so may needa redo the flooring?
- do flooring for 92sq m
- hack the 2 toilets....so needa redo the floor also?

 

[ali50n]

Hi I have just bought a resale 4 room flat. Having tight budget.

I want to do the following:
1. Hack kitchen and 2 toliet flooring and wall tiles
2. Hack and do a kitchen cabinet 16 ft with solid top
3. Change basin and wc
4. Do a shower screen in MBR
5. rewiring the whole house

The kitchen sink, wc, basin and hook & hob built in oven we get ourselves. My budget is less than 10k, can do it?

 

[starmed]

hi alison
think less than 10k is difficult esp wif all the hacking n rewiring. it'll be good if u have a slightly bigger bduget. I've got quotations for just only hacking n revamp of kitchen(like what u requested), painting of whole house already cost me $9k plus - 10k plus. So for u, include bathrooms... it'll definitely be ard the same as mine was 5 room flat.

why dun u overlay the bathroom tiles instead of hacking? can save some $$...

 

[ali50n]

Well, my parents said overlay will not be good. Besides, I have ask a quotation it cost me 12k plus, can I know ur price have exceed 11k?

 

[starmed]

alison
my cheapest quote was ard 9k plus, the most ex one is ard 12k. Mine only quoted for the kitchen only... no bathrooms. I'm looking to do up the kitchen n painting of the whole house only. Bathrooms were renovated before. Think it's ard what u got...12k plus for ya. Abit difficult to get below 10k.

I'm going for the 12k one cos it's reco by many frens n confirmed good workmanships n no hidden cost. Though it may seem the most ex among the rest, least I can be sure of the qaulity of work done.

just bear in mind of the hidden cost of some contractors.

I'm not really doing it up to very designer style... just wanna do up the old kitchen which looked very run down... cos we plan to rent the unit out.

 

[blessed]

hi alison,

overlay according to my uncle in this business (he distribute materials to contractors) is ok...maybe u want to consider or ask around for professional advice (sorry not saying your parents not prof'l, but i know more conservative folks prefer hacking)

i wanted to overlay my kitchen wall tiles, but now decide to hack , plaster and paint, lagi cheap. my kitchen is big kind, so iif just plaster will save alot of $. i will tile only 1 wall (cabinet n cooking side). this is wat 1 of the tile shop taught me, the lady say its the trend now (dont know true??). but i look at foreign home mag, they dont use wall tiles too. anyway i go for low cost solutions coz i think we will stay for max 5yrs.

 

[ali50n]

I will be staying there for good, well decide to do away the shower screen as there are alot of disadvantages. Is there any contractor that will do all the things I listed except for kitchen cabinets and shower screens for less than 10k?

 

[vvn]

hey alison, not sure if it's possible, but this is what i know

1. Hack kitchen and 2 toliet flooring and wall tiles (no quote for this)

2. Hack and do a kitchen cabinet 16 ft with solid top (u not doing right? but usually i see ppl it's ard 2k - 5k)

3. Change basin and wc (abt $300 - $400 for WC, probably $200-$300 for basin --> basin and WC included, but not cabinet under the basin though)

4. Do a shower screen in MBR (i got a $550 quote, but depends on length and material)

5. rewiring the whole house (easily 1-2k, but for specific pts: electrical pts, $60 for single $80 for double, light pts $50 each, cable pt ard $100 each)

6. don't forget that there's painting which is ard 1k

 

[sillycouple]

[blessed]

HI Jaz,

I am doing something very similar to yours. I can tell u ur 1st and 2nd item will be very exp... i think will cost abt $6-7k depending on size of ur kitchen. Mine is a resale 4room, but with big kitchen (can put 6seater dining set kind). i think if u retile the whole kitchen n toilet, u may need to add 2k to the above 6-7k.

my friend's mum did both item 1 and 2, retile after hack... total $8k (no top cabinet, only bottom).

 

[jasmine23]

thanks... blessed.... u satisfied wif ur contractor???

 

[siauvc99]

4. Build new kitchen cabinet

hook & hob
Please email me the quotation to the following address [email protected]

 

[gktoh]

HI BLESSED,
Like yourself, I am on budget. I really wanna change the tiles of my kitchen and bathrooms but it's kinda expensive. Then I saw the suggestion from another forum which sounds quite interesting and cost saving.
http://www.singaporebrides.com/forumboard/messages/409/361462.html?1174958129

As mentioned, it's not as durable as overlaying. But it saves quite a bit. I am thinking to coat the wall tiles and ovelay the floor tiles...I think, that can save at least a few hundred-1 K?

 

[blessed]

hi GKToh

I explored this option liao.. I am very calculative, so explored many options. This one cost almost the same as overlaying the tiles.

if you can find tiles that cost $1-2/psf, ur tile cost will be low, only the tiling will cost u more money, and for the above area of 570sqft and spray painting only cost 3.4k+, i think its exp. I called one of the company doing this b4. he quote me $1.2k to spray 2 tiny toilet/bath wall (those old resale with 1 toilet n 1 bath kind), area abt 200+psf. so i see spray paint n overlay cost the same, i rather go overlay. somemore overlay more durable.

 

[blessed]

hi Jaz,

me just got my keys few days back, now still looking around. End up i am doing ala carte, very tedious, but no choice, coz want to save money on big tkt items. I notice doing ala carte may not nec save $ on everything... contractor may get u good prices for small things like plumbing, electrical work, door etc... but i think ala carte may save on big things.

initially want to get a contractor, but my uncles are in some biz related to building (but they dont do end customer kind), so asked for their contact to help me...so i m like rojak here n there n hv to act like contractor, not easy loh. but good thing is the carpenter is my pil friend, so he reco plummer, electrician to us. we liase direct but they can still work w the carpenter on sequence of work.

everything i go to the subcon...i can tell u its tedious. but no choice, want to save money.

ooh btw, re-tile is definitely cheaper then hacking n tile loh. i even want to hack n plaster (no tile). but was told hack n plaster will b same cost as re tile (if u can find low cost tile). cost hacking is alot of work, and need disposal $$ too.

I have a contractor quote to hack all my kitchen wall tiles, hack existing cabinet n some fixtures, then cement n plaster...$2.3K... no tiling ok. and only kitchen wall. the kitchen flr, bathroom/toilet not in the 2.3k quote loh.

sometimes i wish i bear to part with that few k that i can save, to save myself all these hassle, coz i m very busy with my work too

.

 

[rachely]

oh....i am also letting sub-con doing my house. Infact i am still waiting for their quotation to come back to me. I get to know them through a main contractor whom i know from my work 2 years back. I hope the end product will be good as they are doing all the up-market project.

well, blessed, handling the reno yourself is not easy. Cost saving is one factor but most impt is the style & end result of the house. You will also have to control the design you wanted.

Jia you!

 

[a_helping_hand]

take note that for overlay & retiling without removing of existing tiles finish may not be a good long term idea.cement screeding (cement+sand+chemical) below the tiles desintegrates over time usually after 10-15 years.as such,the existing tiles may pop out or drop off causing the overlayed tiles to drop off as well.good examples of such incidents are those super old 20+year old flats with those 4"x4" white wall tiles.almost all units that i been to have tiles that are popping out or even fallen off.saving that few hundred dollars or a thousand in hacking may cause nightmares for u later on down the road.

[blessed_1]

Hi, peeps.
Me also looking for contractors, anyone here bot a resale flat thru ERA? heard they have their own contractors and if u buy house from an ERA agent, they will do it at a subsidised price. So any experience/advice? How much is a good budget to set aside for reno for a 5 room flat? Maybe jus to do up the dining, kitchen and toilet area with walk-in wardrobe? Thanks! btw, if there are cracks on the wall, shd i b concerned? it is a 5 room flat in Senja area and they say it is not structural but still if i buy that place, will it be a recurring prob? how much would it be to fix that up?

 

[viki_and_jeya]

HI everyone

i need advise on my new home reno 4rm. just need to do the painiting ,change of the lightings, removing and replacing the kitchen sink ,stove ,cookerhood and the 2 toilets...i am on tight budget 10k...any recomendation.please email me at [email protected]

 

[arnette]

Hi,
Has anyone here done your own renovations? As in, you coordinated everything yourself without going through a contractor/ID?

 

[prune]

Hi Natalie,

I would not suggest coordinating by yourself meaning you getting different chaps to do different parts, I am in construction line and I know the headache of doing so if you are not familiar with the sequene of construction. In addition there is a question of defects, for example, you get A to do your floor then get B to do your cabinet, maybe during handover you find floor damaged, you go ask A, A will say is B who installed the cabinet and spoilt the floor etc. So getting a point of contact will save you much trouble and effort. They might be able to give you better price too because they buy in bulk and got better relationship with supplier, but the other school of thought is they mark up on your product. But I got my aircon myself because I prefer to use Gain City. PM me if you want recommednation of contractor.

 

[michit]

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone of you have any idea how much will it cost to do up my new 4rm if I only want to do up my kitchen...have heater, aircon... cause the rest all done by HDB alr.
Thanks

 

[icygal]

Michelle, yours should be between 5-6k, depending on the size of your kitchen & how many splitter for your aircon. Cheers.

 

[wendypang96]

Hi all,
beware of a company called Noisestopsystems. It is run by a guy called Ned Nelson.

It is a scam
