hi.. would like to ask whether my carpentry quotation is reasonable..

Kitchen
1. supply & install 22ft kitchen base cabinet with laminate door
2. supply & install 13.5ft hanging cabinet with laminate door (30 inch)
3. 3ft std height fridge cabinet with laminate door
4. 22ft quartz stone top
5. 2.5ft tall unit cabinet
6. 10.5ft partition to divide kitchen and dining area
7. 4.5ft aluminium sliding door

all these are solid plywood with laminate.. then total price of these all items are 47k.. just wonder what is the market price now and anything i could cut to reduce it to around 35k? remove hanging cabinet and replace with shelves rack?

22ft of kitchen base cabinet which including around 5ft of cabinet for washing machine.. if i remove this part base + top, likely how much i can save from here?

thanks.. in the end i remain it and reduce few ft of top hanging cabinet.. reason is that i have 2 windows and ori plan is to close off 1 of it.. but now i want to keep the windows and reduce 3k on it.. LOL

hmm.. ultimately if add accessories & sink, around 50k there.. renovation nowadays are so expensive..

yes it is solid plywood laminate.. i used melamine before, so never again.. in fact i plan to use 4G glass with aluminium, but might not suit to my home design and afraid glass break in future.. just have to be careful on water nearby sink there.. other than this ID, most of others are using melamine or half aluminium.. full aluminium is really expensive and not much of design.. reputable ID will use E1 board with melamine.. solid but just afraid about melamine.. in the end i proceed with plywood as both are reputable ID at my area.. plywood one more worth in my opinion when compared to another one with E1 board..

Hmm in Penang I could get 13k for 16ft L shape full height melamine wardrobe with dark glass swing door. If not glass, reduce 1k.

Shoes cabinet could get better price too.

potentially your ID/vendor use E1 board.. if E1 board definitely higher price.. close to plywood price in my view based on multiple quotation that i have obtained.. you could ask them or try out other vendor and see.. in the end i picked plywood although people said plywood have heavier formaldehyde than melamine..

cause the price i got from ID are nearly identical and 1 of vendor use E1 board is more expensive than plywood.. one of cheapest (i did used their built-in furniture before), quality wise all good.. just they only handle carpentry works and dont cover others like wiring, wet works, ceiling.. so in the end i pay extra for plywood carpentry with ID inside.. but eventually future kid's bedroom and other area i could use carpentry works only.. but totally new house, i pass it to ID firm handle everything for me first..

Just got 3D visualization recently.. like it.. part of the view shown here..
