I just pay deposit for SCI kitchen and found out their sub con installer actually not that good... Wanted to ask... How about their Cabinet quality? They quote me 8k which includes SINK and TAP + 12ft quartz stone + 12ft base cabinet and 9ft of wall unit.

no la, just to let u know the estimated market price is quite fair enough

Yes, no question on their pricing. But abit consent on their Installation after I view so much bad review about them.
Additionally, their quote me the labor of relocation (lower down few inches) of the drain and plug point is quite reasonable. About the material i think shouldn't too expensive.

Plus they using E1 board.. somesort of recycle material but environment friendly board.. market strategy kot..

Hi all, from the thread, i cant find anyone doing review for Wooot Carpenter. Anyone here hv experience with them? I cant decide between Wooot Carpenter and Signature kitchen. In terms of pricing, Wooot is cheaper, but in terms of warranty and hinges, Signature is better
*
Signature provide 10 years warranty.. but you need to understand what is their T&C..
I get quote 12FT cabinet + 9ft wall + 12ft quartz by Signature almost 14k without SINK, TAP, HOD and HOOD.

Going for SCI cabinet same thing almost 9K + some accesories and eletrician + Plumber works, + SINK TAP HOD and HOOD almost 12.5k.

But workmanship no idea as alot review say it is sucks.

As my understanding, all company will provide warranty on things other than wear and tear. I can bear with that. Things i like bout Signature is the inside of the cabinet-got texture (seems laminated), hence why i considering them. And they r giving freebies too atm.

Yup i read SCI workmanship sucks. So far no one ever complains regarding Wooot, their pricing is quite good tho.
*
My parents house use Signature Kitchen. So far only issue is the door below sink there start "kembang" already...other than that no issue at all.

I just make the final confirmation with SCI yesterday and what they claim that previously they got outsource but very troublesome. They can arrange their in house installer however it might need to wait .

This kitchen built 10 years ago. So far only the cabinet door under the sink have some "kembang" other wise all still in good condition. Suggest you upgrade the cabinet door under sink to have better to avoid this...

Ok.. here comes my review to SCI Kitchen..
So far their people is on time and price is reasonable.. They now did not hire any sub-con for the kitchen cabinet installation but install by their own people.
Total damage Rm10k which includes the wall plug reallocate, adding few point, and drain reallocate. Another 1.7k for the Hood and Hob..

Only things I do not like is I wish to adding the ducting pipe however after the kitchen cabinet team done the installation, they seems does not willing to help me to open the hole for ducting pipe and claim that my Hood is high end 1 will clean those recycle air....(Which i not sure it will or not...I buy the Rinnai RH-C94B). I tell them fine and I will trail to cook some 'Si Chuan' hot pot to see whether it can really recycle the air or not..

Hi all Sifu(s), I recently planning to renovate my condo unit bought through sub sale. As this is my first to do major renovation,l engaged with few contractor/ID to quote the works. This is one of the quotation I received that feel okay. Can I ask your opinion here whether the quote is reasonable or have more room to discuss?

Got up and down..but in short bao ka liao save alot time.

For my simple renovation (Adding 15 wall socket, aircond point, fan point and etc. (All thru wall hacking))Takes around 1 month to finish however it just simple job(Other can be done in 2 weeks..) They charge me 2.1k for all these works.

Hi, may I know how long have you used this type of kitchen until it grow mold, my kitchen cabinet setup is like this, wanted to get an estimation of how long it will last before growing mold

around 3 years.. suspect the leaking due to the silicon seal fail...i have reseal and now seems fine..next time would open 2 hole on the cabinet below sink to prevent any sort of moist and can detect leaking earlier.
