no. this contractor is the same one that had done my house flooring.

 

very good. for homo flooring, he can keep the floor tiles gap within 1mm. a bit slow though as he is using wet cement rather than the cheapo and easy to do dry cement. he check each tile 1 by 1 for wrapage before laying it down.

 

BTW, my dad marble flooring are source by himself and bought by himself. i think that itself will save on the markup.

I bought my flat from the flooring sifu. He did the flooring himself. When I bought from him, I appointed him to change the tile in toilets as the previous one was smooth surface. He asked us to change as his wife fell a few times.

Now, 14 years already. My flooring is still perfect. None of the tile crack. [thumbsup]

Tiles popping after a few years more prevalent than cracking. Need to check every piece before they handover.

Lights another $2k.

Sofa $2k

King size bed and mattress $4k

Dining table and chairs $2k

Aircon $3k

Paint whole house $2k

...left nothing for the floor...

40k is for

1) floorings

2) F&F - all cabinets

3) F&F - lightings

TS, setting up a home very expensive hor? :o Lucky you in accounting line know how to count money.

 

If budget not enough, make sure to spend the money on things you cannot chin chai change one eg flooring, custom-made fixtures (if you have budget), toilet bowls, sinks, aircon, piping, windows. The additional moveable items like sofa, dinning table can get a cheaper version first or later if it bursts the budget now since you can easily swap it for a newer version later when you have more savings.

 

thats y im doing costing now.. see liao wanna hin...

 

imagine needing 100k within the next 4yrs.

 

:wacko:

your budget very dependent on the amt of customised cabinets you want. they are not cheap but if well designed, makes the house look much more co-ordinated in design, colour and texture.
