Hi Sifus,

Is the following quotation reasonable (for 1,600 sq ft)?

RM6,400 (@RM4.00 per sq ft)
To supply and install 12mm thk fibrous plaster board, jointing and finishing to give a flush seamless surface ready for decoration on concealed G.I support system to the approval of employer.

RM4,800 (@RM3.00 per sq ft) - painting of plaster ceiling
To supply and apply 1 coat of sealer and 2 coats of selected "Jotun" or equivalent glossy paint in selected colors (based on ID Designer / Client selection) and all works shall include surface preparation to receive paint.

is the painting overkill since 2 coats of glossy pain after the sealer?

1st item sounds reasonable.

Hi TS

By right, any paint work starts with 1 undercoat and 2 coats of paints. At least that's how I do it. Maybe other painters have other skills as well  icon_rolleyes.gif

But the thought of have glossy paint for ceiling? I've never done it before as i think it's a bit risky if the ceiling works are not properly done or need touch-up. I don't mind the joining, but I think you better make sure all the holes/wiring needed for lightings/fan are done (but not yet installed) before the painting starts, cause once the ceiling needs paint touch up, the result might disappoint you. But i'm sure you hired a good ID/contractor so share us the photos once it's done ya  icon_rolleyes.gif
