Hi all,

Do you know for the last 2 years how much price increase is it in the market to do renovation, e.g. doing carpentry work for kitchen cabinet & wardrobe, M&E work, etc..
The reason I am asking this is because I have done renovation 2 years ago, now I want to engage ID to do design and build for my new condo. They said that the price has increased A LOT ( they mentioned that 2 years ago with 100k they could do a lot of things, now only basic things).
Would appreciate if someone could give very rough figure on this....:-)

Nothing is cheap now. What rough figure you need? our currency is weak, and many raw material are traded in international market price sure following market rate.

Hi weikee,

Rough figure in the sense that suppose you do renovation (mostly carpentry work) 2 years ago, it costs let's say 50K. For the same scope of work, how much will it cost now approximately? Will it be 75K (50% increase), 60K (20% increase)?

50% should be around that range, but for the same quality 2 years ago, maybe higher. You need to go survey, I don't do renovation every year. Only actual contractor or ID will be able to advice.

i just meet my contractor, he told me it need more than 50% extra for the same work on my house if i going to do it again now.
