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.

Now same... Just did mine with flooring... Whole house carpentry... 45k... 4 rm. All people use ID. Cos I find direct contractors.

Increase 1-2% GST, reno cost will increase from $35k to $80-100k…Sinkies reno tokways are “chop carrot head” world champion.

The overhead crazy... My house warming my frds said did I spend alot... I say no... They was like what... Now no 100k no talk..

Yes... Functional... Not house warming type of reno.... I got my first house so I where I should spend money on.

Concrete support for sink area. Now even water leak no issue.
Kitchen top and back wash.. All sintered stones.
Flooring, eproxy grout with polishing. Make the floor look like one piece and easy to clean.

Ask the cleaners downstairs if they got lobang for hacking/drilling of tiles. Should be less than $300 to settle the whole house.

nowadays cleaners not stupid liao, $300 they wun do such jobs or they will nego price with you.

Some set a minimum reno price of $20k and above then they will entertain your project.

Now 80k is consider budget reno by those bigger ID
