What is the normal payment term for renovation?

My contractor's quotation states 45% upon confirmation, 45% progress, 10% upon completion and 6% GST

there is no standard rules lah. it's negotiable between both parties lo. you cannot be too stingy until inhibiting the reno work, right? contractor also cannot be too strict until you cannot get the money on time, right?

For such a big renovation job, you'd be better off doing proper due-diligence. Payment terms don't really matter as much as compared to what is written below...

Good articles, it says nobody should pay more than 25% deposit!

I already nego with my contractor that fellow insist at least 30%.
