Or you know any reliable contractor? i'm just looking for basic reno, good and lasting workmanship, especially toilet.
You will need contractor for flooring and wall tiles, carpentry, electrical, piping, curtain, windows, doors&gate&lock, lightings, toilet fittings, painting & plastering.

It is not easy but will save you $$$.

u renovation contractor?
Yes. Recently i heard of many ID run away. Just few days back, one owner told me to take over his id job, as deposit and start of work $$ give, but for 1 month only job done is toilet floor hacking only.
Told him to talk nicely to the ID to finish up the job

everything becoming more and more expensive
These things never happened.… :ROFLMAO:

Business monopoly - Group owns all or nearly all of the market for a given type of product or service. :ROFLMAO:

Collusion - Non-competitive, secret, and sometimes agreement between rivals that attempts to disrupt the market's equilibrium. Companies conspire to work together to gain an unfair market advantage. :ROFLMAO:

But contractor cannot help design my house if I want a certain theme.

Like if I want a Modern Luxury house that has a WOW effect, can contractor provide a design that suits my needs?

I don't mean find from internet and rojak give me a solution. I want a solution that is unique to my house. With all rooms have a flow to them

Why nowadays home renovation so expensive? I want to do a simple 4-5 room hdb flat also 80-100k. Not even doing much carpentry.

8 years ago, 35k I can settle the whole renovation for my old flat for similar work done.
10years ago i still sucking milk
