I was just wondering, now with all the material price increases and some such - how much would renovations for a condominium which is roughly 1500sqft cost? This means kitchen renovated with cabinets, built in wardrobe for 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms redone, plaster ceiling, light fixtures with dimmers placed accordingly, etc.

A few years ago I would guess all the above would cost maybe 40K-50K? Now I dont know. Everyone, home owners and contractors say prices have risen and are there to stay. :/ economic instability and whatnot. Aihs... Can anyone give me a ballpark figure to play around with? Thanks.

Sorry. I guess specifics are required for people to know for sure hmm?

Well I will try to be as specific as possible then.

Kitchen and bathrooms completely retiled with mid range tiles, custom wood (or at least wood pressed... Not decided) cabinets from ikea for small kitchen which is about 80-100sqft, New hob and hood for cooking, Floors laminated, wood blinds for all windows in rooms and living area as well as balcony window, Built in wooden wardrobe from floor to ceiling in three rooms (altogether maybe 20 feet in length and all 8 feet in height), simple designed plaster ceiling.

I am not sure if that is specific enough... But I hate to have to spend hundreds of thousands for high end everything... I am thinking mid range-high range mix renovations... Only with everything being topsy turvy I am uncertain how much to budget. ><

LoL~ Very true tinkerbell. I will seek help from my relative who has done some renovations to her house on what I want and how to ask for it as well as some places to make inquiries.

I just feel sad to know that 40K-50K today buys me far fewer renovations that I want than just 2-3 years ago >< Will have to shop around quite abit and get good deals I guess.

Anyways, thanks for the estimates kevyeoh. I am in the Klang Valley and if you are too I guess it will be around that price too for what you mentioned. I feel almost intimated to go to contractor and ask for estimate ; in any case thanks.
