I would reckon that the price is on the high side. The copper piping required is very short length. Why don't you get a few more quotation for the same scope of work. Then compare.

Always remember cheap does not mean good. But don't get only one quote. Get few more and compare.

I agree. Most important is that you get a good contractor, price is important but secondary, because when the renovation starts, usually many unexpected things will happens and these "unexpected developent" will always have the effect of - "ADD MONEY"

Give you and example.

My plumber and electrician are managed by same boss (but difference contractor). Price wise he is not the cheapest, I would say average price.

When i brought all my lights, and fans. He install all without any additional charges, including open up plaster ceiling.

He use stainless steel angle connector for all the plumbing fitting on taps. Help me put all the toilets accessories like mirror, toilet paper holder, tower, soap holder all no extra charges.

I won't say is best deal, but at least he don't come in ask me money to do this, money to do that, money to add this... bla bla bla.. that make you feel like a water(money) sponge

yes i am ok on the reasonable side. I dun want cheap also but this one seems to be very unreasonable.
