@AlphDoti
lots of options: depending on price and quality you want will determine the places to be advised.
The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

@ AlphDoti,Binding is used in flush doors to cover the edges/ the thickness part. Its cost depends on type of wood material and normally its 45mm wide.

@lexx, that was new to me, I learnt it today.

I shopped around and found what I wanted:
1. Block board => Central Auto & Hardware Ltd
2. Floor tiles => best deal in Al-Karim Hardware Limited i.e. 30x30 for sh850 per 17piece carton.
3. Binding planed 1x1/2 and 2x1 => Timber Corner Ltd
4. Paint - undercoat & gloss (crown) => Timber Corner
5. Items such as Cement, wire nails etc are generally same price in all shops.

Thank you all.
