I'm not sure this thread should be here or if there any threads about home renovations as we speak.
I'm a person that loves my home so much, that I almost re-decorate it on monthly basis. I also clean my room every week as well.

But recently, I'm thinking to renovate my whole home and it's an apartment. I need some suggestion and also advise from experiences people/sifus.

There is few things in my mind right now, Plaster Ceilings, Grills, Window, Air-cond.

With 4 points above^, which should go first and which should be the last one???

Thanks a lot and hope we can share and exchange info between each others.

Plaster Ceilings, Grills, Window, Air-cond.

window do wat? change new window / tint?

I would choose plaster ceiling -air cond- grills and last of all window

i'm sure u want lighting for your house, not lightning.

plaster ceiling - air cond (to instal wire) - paint - window - grill - install air cond unit

New Window maybe. The current Window I have can only open up to 35~40 degrees. I'm looking to install sliding window

Well, should do all the drilling and knocking first, before doing the plaster ceiling.
If not, all the dust will stick to the ceiling and it will be difficult to clean later.
This is inclusive of installing windows and grill, as all those will need drilling.
Water hose and wires for the air cond should be done at this time too.
And all additional/new electrical points.
Then only we start painting.


Sliding window usually does not have the ability to open fully, some of the windows can be opened while some will remain blocked.

But it should be much better than what I have now. At least one sides of the sliding window can be open fully.

Air cond come first (for enjoy).. then window (security seek), then plaster ceiling (decoration )...

i think they block the window bcoz of security reason.... normally this practice in condo or highrise building so if you have install grill for the window then i think you can dismantle the screw that blocked the opening angle..... you check it up first, then u will know what to do...

Agree with the view.

For the ceiling, you could install the frame and the board first and leave the final painting all the way till the end.

For air conditioner wise, you have to ask yourself whether you want to install which of the following:-

1) Wall Mounted type
2) Ceiling Mounted type
3) Ceiling Cassette type

Choosing the type of air conditioner to be installed would slightly affect the sequence of the work.

Yeah, security reason. I will need to install grill, because window alone won't help much. I need to change the window for privacy reason also. I'm looking to change windows that can block people from outside seeing inside. So that even when the curtain is not down, I can still change my cloth

Guess I'll do the Grill and Window first, and then Air-con and Plaster Ceiling should be the last to do.

The moment you turn on your room light, people can easily see you from the outside while you won't be able to see them. My house windows had this reflective layer in which morning till evening, no one from the outside will be able to see the inside. When night falls, everythin changes. You'll still need a curtain unless you're changing clothes in the morning or either turn off your light when you're changing at night.

I think, you must be stay at condo, which some condo window cant open till 90 degree because of safty purpose. however, there able to be adjust and not really need to change the window.

Actual way to do is, grille (safty), air cond (piping & wiring) 1st, then plaster ceiling, then only install air cond unit. (ignore window since is just need to adjust)

Yeah, Curtain will be draw during night and also window will be closed anyway.
This is to prevent bugs from coming in during night.
