davidbarron Neutral Newbie May 2, 2014 Share May 2, 2014 Choose custum furniture: Furniture shops aren't excessively enthused about offering unique seats and tables. So as opposed to purchase their end table at a crazy value, simply ask your inside planner to manufacture one. Typically, they can assemble something close, for about a large portion of the cost.

Keithchue 5th Gear December 4, 2014 Share December 4, 2014 Just finalise reno with contractor.. 1. Hack existing kitchen cabinets and rebuilt all cabinets, top and bottom, kitchen top use white quartz. 2. Hack 3 toilets and rebuild wall n floor tiles and vanity top with white quartz. 3. Hack 4 bedroom wardrobes and rebuilt 4 new wardrobes. And add a new 3 door full height shoe cabinet. 4. Rebuilt some false ceiling. 5. Hack 3-4walls to create different walk flow and increase opening and rebuilt with partition walls. 6. Add some doors here and there. 7. Repaint whole house with Nippon Easy Wash. 8. Re sand and lacquer parquet floor and all existing doors. Reno cost S$50,000. Inverter Aircon cost $9000, 2 set system 3 and 1 set system 1. Cheap or expensive? have u posted your job up on KLUJE website? it seems to me that the price of 50K seems the contractor is either 1, ripping u off, or 2, giving u a friendship price.

Jamesc Hypersonic December 4, 2014 Share December 4, 2014 I have one good tip. Go to friend's house, see the workmanship, ask your friend if the contractor is reliable or not and then select from there. Can see so many contractors at home expo all so nice one, hard to tell who is the good one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic December 4, 2014 Share December 4, 2014 (edited) If you're good in stripping, strip it bare. Then, go Ikea and buy those kitchen cabinets. I actually like those free standing cabinet like: http://www.ikea.com/sg/en/catalog/categories/departments/kitchen/10794/ Like those with legs: http://www.ikea.com/sg/en/catalog/categories/departments/kitchen/10470/ Most contractors don't like to do with legs one. All lazy bums, use recycled sand and ceramic tiles to platform up. They also have portable stainless steel sinks. Move house can move easily too.
