Quotation by 1st ID

On Thur, went to see my ID for the 4th time. I had wanted some changes to the original design. On Wed, I was faxed the quotation by him and total came up to almost $32k. I went there at about 9.30am. Spent about an hour and fifteen mins there.

ID went through item by item with me. I felt that most of the prices were reasonable. But, the few items that I think I am overcharged are the carpentry works. Things like the walk in wardrobe, kitchen cabinet, study table. I told him that I felt that these items are too ex. And the price he has quoted me does not include the TV console.

He did some calculations and told me he would round off everything to $31k and that is inclusive of the TV console.

Now, I am thinking about adding three things.

1. Plaster all the walls so that they look flat. (quoted additional $1.8k for this)

2. TV console and feature wall. (about $1k)

3. Wall paper for MBR. (about $800)

So, that would add another $2.6k to the total.

I left at about 10.45am. Went across the street to another ID. This ID just won an award, being one of the 50 most promising brands. I was there from 10.45am to about 1.30pm. The ID was very patient and showed me tomes of projects that they have done. I had resisted walking in here as I felt that they looked expensive. I don't know whether I am right or not, but I will know on this coming Wed. I think I will go with a dark brown and light brown theme for my house. Possibly, I will go for a contemporary theme in the living room and a resort theme in the MBR.
