This is the renovation done in my house. The workmanship is very nice and the price is reasonable (according to my dad because he deal with the contractor).


Dining Room



Entrance


Living Room




It's a Chinese contractor and it's very friendly, you can talk about anything with him so i decided to put out his number so you guys can try to have a deal with him.

His number is 016-3597215, Mr Liew.


The price for whole renovation for my house is just around 7K and i think it is worth because of his workmanship and his service.

grubmaster, the price include with the wiring??

You mean RM 7k just for plaster ceiling only?

How much RM psf and what is your house built-up area?

Normally, plaster ceiling installation would be cost around RM2 per sqft (plain type). Box, L-box and cornice will be added additionally.

The wiring for the lighting is done by electrician, nothing to do with the plaster ceiling chap, although your contractor will make a margin for pulling the whole thing together for you.

Lots of folk sometime forget plaster ceiling drive up lighting cost because you need to re do the lighting wiring. Those lighting point wiring will be expensive but the down light itself is cheap.

BTW, doing those L box will increase house maint work. Spider and dust loves those box.

A contractor quoted me RM 3.50 psf for the plain type of plaster ceiling.

That's day light robbery. The most i get in Penang here is RM2.20 per sqft unless u do it for very small area only.

I myself get RM2.40 per sqft for the plaster ceiling that have reinforced metal in the middle of the fiber

perhaps you can check if it includes painting, if not included, then its quite expensive.

in klang valley my contractor quote me RM2.40 per sqft, L - Box (450mm + 300mm) RM 18 per foot run, it iz reasonable?

rm18 per foot run is a bit high

.........should ask few more quotation, anywhere what is the reasonable price?

usually it's less than rm10 per foot run

I got RM6 per foot run for box, no hidden light

AudiA6

Square down light with glass cover is only RM22 (6in) with 1 GE 18w bulb. RM32 for double bulb.

Dirt cheap nowaday!

Thanks bro.

I asked a lights shop in Kota Kemuning and being told the complete set for square type 4" costs RM 38; and 6" costs RM 50.

Where u bought those down light?

Go to Uptown's Perfect Lighting or Puchong's Top 10, alot cheap downlights there.

Personally recommend Perfect Lighting

Is it including painting? I did mine for RM2 flat per sq ft. L Box is RM6 per foot run. Should get other quotes if you have the time.
