Renovation Cost

[Sleepy-T]

i think carefully first.

 

yesterday was telling my wife, she take my car go work. i go buy a 2nd hand car (maybe mit I ) cause she sometime knock off at 11pm. i wait at her workplace till i mad liao.

i think her reaction is that she give u the "stare" they like people to wait for them

no lah. she not that daring yet. cause i got other good things behind to physco her..

 

but hor.. i also think. she drive i drive very siong leh...

 

i wait for her easier on our pocket.

 

plus can buy new car instead of 2nd hand.

Got a query about reno... any good, proven companies out there? I know much depends on the individual designer rather than company name. How about the quality of the finished job?

 

Anyone has experience with this company, darwin? Don't direct me to renotalk, cos I don't find the reviews very reliable.

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!

 

If you want to save money on marble tiles. then get the tiles directly from the main marble suppliers, most of whom are located at Kranji. When I renovated my house, i visited at least 15-20 marble importers . Lots of work but can save quite a bit. Get the contractor to quote you for laying the tiles.

 

For marble, whether source directly or through contractor , insist on seeing the actual crate . For the same type of marble, the grain and colour can vary from one crate to another. They can even lay out the tiles for you to confirm your selection. Don't just rely on the sample at the showroom.

anyone needs recommendation for a good contractor whom i have recently engaged ($7k for my reno including painting and 3 rooms change tile and 3 doors) and my bil also (for his new flat totally nicely done up at $50k, others quoted him $70k), pm me. his price is significantly better than others upon comparison, and his workmanship is good. i dont earn commision, but just want to do a favour for bros here renovating. i already introduced bro bluepica liao and can ask him how is it.

I have worked with my reno contractor twice already.

 

Once 6 years ago when I got my EC. And recently when I got my new place.

We had a very pleasant experience working with the lady boss the first time round so the 2nd time, we basically just approached her for our new place.

 

They are very helpful even after the renovation.

 

The price is slightly higher than others I think.

 

pic of my first place done up by them

 

wow. very nice bro. how much ah?

Typically, how long does it take to complete renovation work for a flat, assuming also need to remove away the old floorings etc.

[QQDreamer]

usually about3 weeks to 1 month depend on what kind of renovation works done

I renovated my house last year and I used limestone floor. I can say it is very nice and after 1 year it looks as how it was 1 year before.
