Home renovation so expensive

[Perishable]

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.

I guess now got to DIY. I DIY one room wallpaper and vinyl flooring less than $500.

i'm quite meticulous so it looks great, the vinyl flooring only took a day but the wallpapering took a few days to get right because getting it to fit perfectly especially around aircon and electrical trunking is a real pain.

U can do yourself just call the contractors don't go ID.

I liaise with contractors myself and saved alot of money for my houses

I'm thinking of moving to another resale flat.
But the thought of doing reno is very off putting .
Plus the packing and unpacking

 

[deathan9el]

But you have to be an ID yourself

 

[Muthucurry5678]

There is no need to go by ID
Im a contractor, now owners know what they want, can just directly find contractor to do.

Like if u doing a new bto, to do up a 5 room floor tiling, if u go by contractor, will be around 7888$
If u go by id, will be around 12 to 13k

 

[Tom Sawyer]

Cost is one thing... Another headache is the workmanship. No matter whether it is ID or contractor, you need to monitor their workmanship.
Yup, in Singapore you pay a lot and many a time you get terrible results
