Renovation Cost

[Robo]

I just wanna do some research for renovation.

 

would appreciate if ppl who have experience share with me some issues on costing.

 

basically i have been told that marble flooring is very expensive. exactly how expensive is it?

 

i have been told it can be as cheap as under $10k for the whole house. i wonder if its true. i also have been told that it could cost up to $30k just for that. as it depends on the grading of the marble.

 

so basically how expensive is it? like marble vs. homogeneous vs. normal ceramic vs. lets say granite. (is there other choices ?)

 

appreciate alot!

they sell by per piece or per feet.... so it depends what you need.....

 

too many variables.... for eg: big or small and the different types....

 

i know my friend did up his whole house for less than $40k (appliances not included).. including marble flooring for master room and living room... kitchen not very sure

 

i would recommend you go tile shop to ask... to have a clearer picture

Range from $4.50 to S$30.00 or above per square feet before counting the working fees.

marble got many diff grades and type etc..

 

some like ferrara or fiorentino etc are more exp... for 110sqm approx 20-30k

 

some are pretty cheap...

 

even same type of marble also got grade diff due to colour etc some got porosity ... so need to get a trusted contractor to help check throughly..

 

otherwise once installed then LLST

 

also keep a couple of pieces spare handy in the store room... might be useful in future....

marble also depend from which countries you choose from .....

 

Italian marble is more expensive than China or any other neighbouring countries. Its also depend on the type of pattern and colour. I did my whole house Italian marble (hall, 4 rooms & storeroom) for 28k in 1988 which is equal to $22/- per piece of 1' by 2'. The shine had last me for the past 22years.

 

Laying natural marble also depend on your contractor expertise & skill as you will never get a same pattern for every each marble pieces.

 

You might like to try homogeneous tiles of marble pattern of which, the pattern are the same for every pieces. Nowadays, the homogeneous tiles comes in various sizes like the 1' by 2' or the 2' by 2'. Compare to marble, homogeneous are much cheaper by more than 50%.
