mm firstly I'm stingy and I think 37k for a brand new flat is way too much.
Whatever I say next is just my own opinion. I prefer if you emailed this though. haha it's so long...
From your quote.
1)Hacking Work - ok
2) Masonry Works
- To supply and lay 60cm by 60cm homogeneous floor tiles for living, dining and storeroom - $2900
What is the land area and how much/psf for the tiles? If it's $3 it seems ok.
- To supply and lay 30cm by 30cm heavy duty homogeneous floor tiles for kitchen c/w water proofing membrane - S$1100.00
Same as the above.
- To supply and overlay 30cm by 30cm homogeneous floor tiles and wall tiles (up to ceiling) for master toilet - S$2100.00
Expensive. I did both my toilets (wall and floor) for $3000. tiles up to $3/psf.
- To supply and construct shower kerb at master toilet and concrete base for fribge, cabinet and washing machine - S$330.00
Shower kerbs aren't very good. You might accidentally hit against them. Ask to make a step down into the shower area. BTW my contractor absorbed the cost for this.

... Check your HDB requirements about boxing up in toilets.

What brand of laminate? Check the amount/psf. but the price seems ok. It includes the building of the platform right? ALSO the area under the platform will be tiled right?
