I mean the wall is actually a sliding door, 3 feet of wall and then door... so theoretically it's only 3 feet length of wall

Just a question guys, usually how much more can you knock of in price after the 1st quotation?

List down what they're doing and materials they are using to compare.

wow i didn't know ID Hacking and dismantling is so expensive.
Your dismantling plaster ceiling alone is equivalent to the cost of installing a new plaster ceiling .
Who is your ID in Penang?

If you use ID in Penang , seriously do expect 30-50% markup in prices.

For a compromise go for contractor, you have to design , provide them drawings, provide them tiles, paint, sanitary fittings and electrical fittings but the contractor will coordinate between all of them.
Twice a week go the house , double check on their work and feedback to the contractor. I'm doing this now.

Generally things that require coordination together:-

Plaster ceiling, masonary , tiling, electrical(hacking work), plumbing -> One contractor

The rest:-
Painting -> Contractor or seperate freelance/indon depending on price
Woodwork -> Contractor or seperate carpenter depending on price
Grill -> Contractor or seperate grill shop depending on price
Autogate -> Seperate Autogate manufacturer.
Kitchen -> Kitchen specialist or Contractor/carpenter combo

If difference is huge go seperate, if difference is small let the contractor do it.
