Quote Comparison Thread

Hi Kim, forgot to get the details off you yesterday at the meet up! Are you able to PM me the details of the guy you're using? Thanks

 

I've PM'd you
So, the fans quote i originally got said $500. It never mentioned anything about GST, so i thought it was included. Got my invoice after he did the work.. turns out he added GST on top, so it was $550 for 3 fan/light combos. Still not a bad price at all, but @Simon L wins with his fan pricing

 

Some of the work I had done in June 2015 in Moreton Bay area ( figure below ex-GST ):

How can you possibly compare an apple with an apple on works to be down when there are several different factors which will affect how the price might be calculated?

Just using my industry as a micro-example an oil filter for a car might cost me $2 and up to $3 different on a $15 retail filter - from one local supplier to another; based on when you order it (specials) and which brand of filter, etc.

The same filter in a different part of Aus (remote Country town for eg) might be a $20 retail amount - or even $10 in an area where there is a glut of stores which sell auto spare parts.

 

Not sure if related to this thread but I wish to give a big wrap to this company for bathroom / kitchen products for your next reno:

Grace Bathroom and Kitchen items - Get great deals on items on eBay Stores!

I am just a customer, but the owner provides impeccable service which I have experienced a few times now.

I have a his semi-frameless shower screen in my own home. Priced well and functions neatly.

 

That's a good price imho

 

I thought so too. Work begins soon. Fingers crossed the problem doesn't come back

 

We had a few quotes for Air con to be installed at our Springfield Lakes IP due to the need of having the living area not having any kind of cooling at all and was suggested by the PM this would make it more rentable when the current tenants moved out. The main bedroom has a Air con but you couldn't hide there all Summer!

The successful quote was from Snap Air Conditioning not only because of price (similar to others) but how he responded to our initial and subsequent portion inquiries.

The quote:

The supply and installation of the new Mitsubishi Electric 7kw unit is as follows




MSZ-GL71KIT

7.1kw cooling power 8.1kw heating power Inverter 5 year warranty

Sales price: Supplied & Installed $2449,00 inc Gst


This unit will be installed above the bench are in the kitchen with the outdoor unit mounted on the wall with brackets.

A 20amp feed from the board will be run.


There is $400 total in cash back on this unit. $200 from each below.


Mitsubishi Electric Cash Card Promo 2016

PeakSmart air-conditioning - Energex



Whilst there, we also had the main bedroom Air conditioning serviced for $55.

All in all, happy with the great service and price and would use them again.

Note: My wife and I did our own research for size and make and found this make and model had great reviews. We also chose a size larger than required for the m2 because it won't need to work as hard as a 6.1.

Cheers,

Martin
