Hi, Thank you very much for the tips again. I would like to know more details pls. notworthy.gif

Another questions,

for the wet work kitchen extension, Is it better to buy the material by ourself then just pay the labour cost to the contractor for the job? Under this condition we can use the better material (red brick, thicker metal, etc). If can, normally the material cost is how many percent of the total cost (material + labour) from the contractor?

Thanks
