Please help to advice us whether its waaaayyy overcharge or ok ok only, tomjason! big appreciation in advance

humongous thanks for the reply tomjason!
oh didnt know u do reno too. can u help me to reno my kitchen instead?
pls pls

not in shah alam, but nearby. cannot commit time to supervise indons while reno. but since u recommended, maybe i can trust them without me at the site all along

pm me the indon's contact no. pls.

how many of them involved? if i ask them to do extension with minimum supervision, will they understand what needed to be done? what about material, do i need to purchase myself since ive zero-knowledge of know-how and know-what.. please advice..

btw, gimme estimation date for ur small job to complete..then id know la when to remind u

hmm..Lump sump labor + material. just like normal contractor la rite..give him spec, he will quote price. after i get his quotation, i come back to u again lah to verify, can ka.. cannot afford to spend too much money, i have family of 4 to feed

thanks for the number!

just saw u posted 3 contacts of indons too in prev thread..will try ask quotation from each.
oh by the way, im confused of which to do first. what i have in mind are listed down here:

1) house inspection for cracks etc..
2) kitchen extension
3) plaster ceiling + wiring
4) kitchen cabinet
5) tinted
6) grill

dunno if my priorities are correct. please advice anyone esp tomjason
FYI, my floor are all with tiles already...
