If the same contractor doing dismantling and installing, maybe can tekan a bit on the dismantling cost... Dismantle and plastering it back should be max 1 man 2 days job. How much are they paying their workers to charge you RM480?

On the installation, I think for RM35 psf I will expect slightly more premium windows materials. Aluminium how many inches?

Oh, and you probably can't re-use the grill... Need to think about it too.

So you are saying the dismantling cost is on high side?

And secondly I need to find out what type of windows are they offering

What constitute premium windows material?

I was at a hardware shop and saw that they have ready made windows. I never knew this. The windows look okay (unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the window, as there was only a sample display), so I can't tell you if the metal is thick or not, if the frame is sturdy, etc.

Maybe you can check if you go to a big hardware shop near you. I went to this physical store Yisheng hardware, maybe you can WhatsApp them and ask if they can send you photos of the windows.

i engaged reliance home for its sliding windows. their windows frame must be coated, really head ache because management office dont allow us to do different colour , must be anodized finishing, even similar colour also cannot.

anyone got other recommendation ?

how much they quote you?

2K for windows size 2500mm x 1350mm, 3 panels glass

6.38mm thick glass double layer laminated
aluminium thickness 1.6mm

Dismantling and disposal seem pricey.
You can technically get a pry bar (crowbar) + hammer + saw to DIY the dismantling, or even buy a branded multitool for half of that 6-700, https://www.lazada.com.my/products/worx-wx6...4353944710.html then chop it into smaller pieces and throw it in the trash.
