Hi there,

I am planning to upgrade the rest rooms in the house, change shower room door (x1), change closestool (x2), replace restroom door with barn door (x1). Do I need ID to coordinate these works? Or just get a contractor? Where can I find such contractor?

Thanks

Both are fine. The beauty of just employing your contractor is that it tends to be cheaper since you don't have to pay any project management fee and markups to ID. The flipside is that you need to monitor/ supervise the contractor because if they mess up, there is nobody that will be accountable.

For ID, if their contractor messes up, you can hold them accountable.

That is generally what I feel. There will be others that may hold a different view.

If I go for contractor, I need to purchase closestool, shower door/screen, and barn door by myself? and contractor is just to bring the workers to install?

Is there any one-stop place that I can find all of them?
