Basically I got a quote for roughly 4.4m to remove/put up walls + closet, re-wallpaper, some electrical work, and a top layer over flooring. This is in Setagaya, at an 8yr old mansion building (7 floors). Destroyed will be a 6m wall w/1 door, and 2 closets. Built will be a 4.5m wall connected to a perpendicular 2m wall with 1 door. The wallpaper and floor cover will go over 2 rooms, that together span maybe 60m². Other relevant context is the building does have rules, requires submission of a detailed plan, get neighbor okays, etc, and I'm in a bit of a hurry – trying to get the work done by early Sept, so I don't have unlimited time to shop around.
I have no expertise in this area – it feels high, but I have a connection with the guy quoting it so I have reason to trust it, but I would be more comfortable if I could get internet validation. The work is being contracted out to a single individual (2 person company) who will enlist others as needed (for electrical, iiuc).
Happy to privately send out more detailed info from the quote if anyone is keen to look it over and provide an informed opinion as well.
