#1. How much does it cost in Singapore to demolish a landed house and rebuild again? I heard a ball park figure of S$300 psf to rebuild.
#2. My experience is S$600K for an intermediate terrace, S$800K for semi-D and >S$1 mil for Bungalow. Time to plan and submit for approval is around 6 months, construction to take about 8 to 12 months. Make sure you cover everything in the contract, otherwise, contractor will charge you super high for additional works as they know you have no choice.
#3. 300 psf is a good gauge to estimate your total cost .. can still find some at 250 psf ... there are other cost involved if you engage an architect, they charge 7-10 percent of total construction cost .. they will want a structure engineer ..etc etc these are extras BUT there are some contractors who have their own draftsmen, engineer, etc .. so u eliminate the architect fee ( 10 pct of const, say 600k = 60k) ..and some other cost.
#4. Mine is $850K for 3000 sqft. Materials selection is key factor to the cost. I have tempered glass on my stairs and walkways which is more expensive than those conventional steel bars.
#5. hhmm i may be wrong but using tempered glass for stairs is not really more expensive .. its the construction thats costing more ... conventional steel / wrought iron stairs railing are mounted against the wall and / or on the steps itself ... while glass has to be 'planted' into the concrete steps ... and thats difficult to do ... hence cost more ... not so much the material costing more. URA requires all stairs to have railing .. even if its 3 steps ..so silly those designer loft in other countries .. 10-20 steps also no railing ..very nice .. especially the floating stairs ... of course not suitable when there is children and old folks.
#6. Eh...mine was tempered glass drilled with holes and mounted on stainless steel brackets, then mounted onto the stairs, instead of silicon planting in groove lines.
#7. oh then it shouldnt cost alot more
i am referring to those where the glass is planted at least 5 inches into the step ..and free standing ... those will really cost a lot more .. .but damn nice
