Wet only or both wet and dry

If 50K you can get a very good dry kitchen. Alustil if youre 'inclined also even factoring in price increase of aluminium

If just cabinet way more than enough d. You not gonna have built up on all the walls. If wet kitchen you can save up by having just bottom shelves only below the sink. Keep your fully built ups at your dry kitchen.

I gatal2 got a quote from Alustil for my dry kitchen. 8 feet of built up cabinets including peninsula table top with bottom shelves. 50K

Just gatal2 only. Not as rich as TS to seal the deal.

I would say probably not enough unless u settle for cheap material/brand.

Cabinets and wardrobes u need to know the measurements how many feet u want. Then u can just contact any companies u like for quotation.
Different materials different prices.

For wet works, piping and electrical also need to know measurements.

Curtains are the easiest same thing measure and get quotations.

Maybe get another quotation. 5k+ sounds about right or a bit high. 8k+ is really high liao. Depends on your area also.

Normally how it works? Can get quotation from different contractors? Quotation + design they give free or need to pay? Need to state upfront what design+material I want?

for carpentry, not so good cos very soft. need alot of woodworking techniques to make it stable as chair or cabinet.

for dining table slabs, yea good value (cos its 4-5k and give you thick thick 3-3.5inch above to avoid the mentioned soft wood issue) ,
cos if use merbau cengal, will cost 8-10k liao, and usually 2inches thickness.. cos 2inch also very strong liao.

Those that say no need spend so much on kitchen, u guys obviously not married.

First TS need to ask what his missus wants.. then look for quotations.

Including appliances and wet hacking everything. Hood, hob, oven, dishwasher and maybe grinder. If within budget maybe put new tiles

Then your choice of materials for your built ins will be limited

Set aside a budget for your appliances then if it was me I would tile up the walls of the kitchen (minus the areas you plan to have your built in) if not already done so. Reduce your wet kitchen costs as much as possible. Just go for concrete wet kitchen top and tile it up. Bottom just install doors can even minus shelves to save cost.

Whatever you have left after the above you get the best deal you can for your dry kitchen. That's where your built ins should go and where you want a good island /peninsula to entertain guests or have dinner

First TS need to ask what his missus wants.. then look for quotations.

LOL definitely not!

Set a budget and stick to it. Make sure your missus is aware of the budget. If you go by what the missus wants, you are in for a bad bill shock, especially where renovations are concerned. The sky is the limit!

If you go through ID usually 100% through them, they managed their subcon too. They will work out within what budget you have.

Got some ID service also you pay for design and floor plan only. Then you find your own and manage all the contractors.

If you are handle on your own and got estimate dimension pm me le. Keep me in the list, I make cabinets, maybe can make for you.

basic mechanism, No piping relocation, minimum hacking as in for few additional plugpoint only. yes 50k can make do for the size you mentioned.

It is best to minimize the relocation especially water related piping and work around based on it. No matter how good your skill, once you touch it, the aftermath is a pain in the arse aside from still within warranty if house is new.

Don’t say kawan2 price la. I doubt TS got any kawan2 in the industry otherwise he wouldn’t get opinion from /ktards.

Market price can get or not? I don’t think so. Mine small like this also cost me 28k (including Blum hardware, excluding appliances) back in 2020.

U can still get cheaper prices nowadays but need effort to look for it. This guy who paid 700k probably agreed to whatever the contractor threw at him even though most of his stuff is overpriced. Total scamjob based on the video.

I see in the video comment the uploader said include the run away contractor bill also. I think he budgeted around 400-500k and got scam the balance by bankrupt contractor bill.

The reno price i think include structural and tear down / rebuild also based on the picture and appliances/finishing. Sometime its much more economical to buy a newly build house unless you really like the location.

Yeah lor at 700k, enough to get another rental property. Cash. Unless you are so rich that you can just ignore that ...

edit: depends on location, maybe can even get 2 or more.

You really don't need 50K for kitchen cabinets only biggrin.gif Get your tile guy to do your kitchen table and tabletop (just use tiles, no need for expensive tabletops), then get the furniture guy to do the carpentry (premium woodchip ones will do).

However, if you wanted everything premium like granite table top, solid wood, that's totally different league.
