Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 Aug 22, 2020 11:20 am Hi, We are building new home in Brisbane. We have to do small change in pantry entry to add hinged door which we forgot in design stage. I have attached photos of current situation as we do not have door & door header. Opening space is 670-675mm. We want to add 620mm hinged door. We have trims, cornice & door jams left over from the work. We asked Builder to buy door ($75) & make header from 2x4 then add plaster sheet & finish for painter. I think it is easy job for Buider. Builder quoted $1275 for this. I feel it is random number they took from lucky dip lotto. What do you think? Whats should be the quote ranged?

And if someone is desperate enough to accept the quote, then it at least makes it worthwhile for them to do?
