Hi Xiao B,
my ID has done up a 3-room condo with glass concept, the whole house look very spacious. you migt want to give a try to ask for a quote. You can quote my name, Anne for a better price. Must tell him that you are my friend, then good price. His worker workmanship is pretty good. MIne is almost completed. only left some touch up. Mine is not a 3-room, hence cant advise on the cost.

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!

ID experienced or not, no use. most importantly his sub contractors are experienced and has got smooth workmanship.
20K is possible, but that solely depends on what you're asking for.
And some contractors very scheming. when they prepare contract, they state provide for heater and states the price. but they don't state labour and installing... if they don't complete job, go court you also lose out.
**example**
And, are you reccommending this contractor cos you can earn commission?
usually, when people ask you to mention their name cause able to quote you better prices. it might also mean, "mention my name so that i can earn my commission!"
(THIS IS JUST WHAT I THINK PERSONALLY)
Cos i have friends from 3 different companys... 1 offers me commission but the other two, NONE.
1) doesn't overcharge and is honest. been around for many years already.
a boss of a renovation company and has renovated for my bosses' home, whole company including offices. my boss recommended him to me when i was asking around for a friend's EA.
2) very effecient and responses to any dissatisfaction almost immediately. also very detailed when it comes to contract listings.
from a company that owns 4 different outlets in Singapore.
3) very smooth workmanship and quotes accordingly since he's the boss
highly recommended on RenoTalk. Mr Pang...

Yes i agree with black cat. I had a contractor renovate my mum's place about 5 years ago. My mum's flat is original condition. He quoted only 15k. Ended up, he did such a big mess that I had to hire another contractor to do the job that he messed up. He only refunded me part of my 15k.
So, my advice is check with the contractor whether his firm is registered with HDB, better still go to the HDB website and check it out at http://www.hdb.gov.sg/bn25/isos118p.nsf/BN25FLRCHome?openform
Also check with the contractor what materials he is using. Also go around asking more firms and do your homework before deciding on one contractor to do the job. Hope my advice helps.

openyrimind: so end up how much did u spend on the reno in total?? still remember??
i have actually gone n taken a look at those package quotations given by some of the ID shops/contractors...the amount is always low and attractive, but when u look at the materials they use are the low end ones, and the size of the kitchen counter is always limited. so in the end when you want to add in better things, or your house size is different, the amount can end up becoming pretty high.
So ya, find a good or reputable ID firm to do for you and not just look at the amount they quote you.

tricks on packages.(things to look out for)
1.normally packages does not include hacking of existing tiles.they overlay.
2.most of the time packages have replacement of floor tiles only.they dont include walls.(walls are xpensive so normally they wont include them to make it 'attractive')
3.the kitchen cabinet & top is only 20ft(top/bottom)most definately wont be enought for any hdb/condo/landed.so definately u have to add on $$$$$ for this.
4.they would definately break items up to make the illusion as if u are getting more items by paying so little $$$$.
example:kitchen cabinet they could break it up into 3 4 items.
A)kitchen cabinet in laminate
B)stainless steel plate rack
C)designer handles
D)2glass doors
E)installation of cooker hood
F)installation of cooker hob.
IN FACT ALL THIS ARE UNDER THE SAME ROOF.WHICH IS THE KITCHEN CABINET.
if u dont wanna be trick by all this hidden cost.forget about the packages.they are gimmicks.
go itemise.
rule of thump(applies to our daily life)
theres no such thing as good materials comes cheap.nothing good comes cheap.dont just compare quotes.u need to know visually what u are getting.not just hear what u are getting.seeing is believing

Hi black cat
Can PM me for contact of my designer and contractor who is going to renovate my new home this coming January
Cheers
Hi,
I fully agreed what black cat and cyberjoint mentioned. I have renovated my house 2 years ago and at that time is my first time to get my house after married. I have no ideas of how to renovate my house and where should go to enage a good id. Luckily I found one and I really gratefull to him as I was so confused what should I do and what is my idealistic concept that I want my house to be. He was so patience to explain everything to me and give lots of ideas for me and help out to conclude out a concept that I wanted. And what he quote me the pricing , I felt is worthful.
