My objective is to merge the middle room and the small room into a single room. Thus, I intend to have the wall between these two rooms demolished. Would like to know how much does tearing down a wall cost?

You need to find out if there is any supporting pillar in the wall. Can't just demolish later post danger.

I am sure that this wall is not a supporting wall. Neither does it have any wiring or stuff like that.

Ya I know that different contractors charge differently. Just wish to get the general price. Haven`t exactly measured the wall but it`s about 3 meters apart. About the average height from floor to ceiling. I don`t really want to change the floor tiles though. Just want the wall removed and "patched" back the part that has been ripped off, if you get what I mean...hehe. Is that even possible?

Sure can patch back the part provided u can find back the same tiling. If your tiles are very old already and can't find..then you don't have much choice but to change tiles. Even if u find back the same tiles, it will be different a bit the colour. unless u can accept ..will look a bit ugly lo..

Sorry TS..tumpang thread...i'm thinking of breaking down a wall in my kitchen..which is not a supporting pillar to my unit. However, it has the switch for my kitchen lights...now i wonder if it can still be done.

Just to share...my ex-neighbour broke the wall to join the master bedroom and middle room to 1 big room. Later on..she found it difficult to sell the apartment instead of having 3 rooms...now have 2 rooms only. As such...do think wisely..in case you need to sell later on.
