Home renovation so expensive

[vee4044]

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.

Renovation same as wedding. They try to tok you as much as possible as it is only 1 time.

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

ID eat so much by just being middleman and give you arty fasty viewpoints on which mood board fits your personality

resale unit if wanna hack all floors, kitchen, toilets easily > 40k de If brand new bto 15k can gao dim liow. Condo even chipper if basic just install lightings, curtain and painting more or less can move in oledi.

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

Just paint the walls, lay tiles in the floor, minimal carpentry work. All furniture buy on taobao, shopee or IKEA. Cheap cheap.

You're welcome.

All go find ID, want best materials

Few years back when I wanted to do a simple, barebones reno, got a few IDs even turned their noses up at it and refused to do. They probably thought it wasn’t worth the effort

Most ID ideas come from internet….Just spend a bit of time and learn from there…. can save people lot of money…

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

If you want very cheap, don't expect too much standard. Just get a reliable guy to tile your floors so that they don't pop out.

Flooring most important. So no need to redo.

Hi. I paid $60k for mine two years ago, excluding furniture If add in furniture, lighting all that, it should be around $100k. Pros and Cons. Pros: Got ID help you become the middle man and coordinate. Con: ID is overpriced and didn't do a good job :*(

 

[coolhead]

I am currently sourcing quotation from main con as I have done the design ideas I want implemented for resale hdb. Hopefully they can meet my budget of $50k
