Initial Quotes

Its been a slow month.  My 2 targeted contractors could not take my job.  Someone recommended to me another contractor and he quoted me RM 500,000 ! And this is for 3,000 walled in sq ft without tiles, fittings, flooring, kitchen !  I nearly fainted.  Needless to say I am getting other quotes. Lets see if we can get a better quote this weekend.  The rule of thumb is between RM 110 - 150 per sq ftt depending on your finishing.  Mine should be on the lower side as I have opted for floor joists with no concrete slab.
