Hi All,

I am planning to renovate my recently bought subsales 2 Stry House(20x60) car porch. I need help from here see may be someone can give me a estimated rough cost that need for the renovation. So I can plan accordingly based on the limited budget.

- Change the fence to a brick wall.
- Put on tiles on the car porch floor.
- Maintain the existing car porch structure, just adding polycarbonate awning with wooden frame at side(because the existing car porch not cover whole area, just like original car porch with no reno.)
- Change the main gate(may be no need, not sure), because the existing car porch floor not even(main car road and site of the car porch not even), plan to make it even for both site, so not sure with this it need to change the main gate or not.

Thanks!

i think need 20-30k one lor....
RM10k can do nothing lor..

what?? he's not planning to make a new car porch.. just add awnings to the car porch..
i don't that it cost that much.. for 20-30k you can make a new kitchen extension already, fully covered with tile.

for car porch tile.. less than 3k include workmanship and everthing..
for gate.. normally, 2k you can get a new gate..
awning just a few K's only..

This is what I think laa.. I'm not contractor.. i can be wrong.. let share..

icic...bro..
do liao then only know how much inflation had eaten into our RM lor

I encounter 2 case liao, 2 neighbour one do 30k one do 70k but they have concrete roof lar, at first also thot budget few k de, then i think kena poison by contractor and also, seeing that other neigbour around all do sure do big big one

maybe our eyes are playing with us, concrete definately looks bigger and 'grander' lar

reno this type of play, can draw alot of blood de, no?

i think around 20k needed.

for new brick fancing + gate column =RM 4000
anwing (plycarbonate Type) is 17/sf = estimate 10x 20ft need to cover area = 200sf = RM 3400
tiling for whole car porch = RM 5000 (with RM5.20 per pc homogeneous tiles)
if wan change gate = RM 3000 (include autogate system)
add on painting and wiring around RM 3000

Total RM 18,400.....

u ready v 25k sure enough for u.

Normal finishing RM10-12k.

Dear All, Thanks for the helpful information

rm15k-rm20k. get a prof contractor to quote la, obligation free punya!

hi all!! done with your renovation?can share the quotation?

hi all.
any recommended brand for polycarbonate that is heat resistant or any good material for pergola roof for car porch. many thank

pls take note u need to leave your car porch roof 6ft distance from the gate. otherwise dbkl will saman u. but i see many extended the car porch right after the gate. maybe they give kopi to dbkl.
i think those already extended are safe. oni new one need to be careful unless u pay kopi in advance. not sure if the gov change they will demolish all the unlawful porch or they will change the rule to allow porch up to gate. i hope they will change the rule as it is really stupid law not allow extension up to gate. anyone know the reason why must leave 6ft??

Nowadays changing aluminium framed windows, grills and painting also cost 20-30k

yes, i think it is better to reno now than later. reno cost will oni go up. for example Australia , the reno cost is so high.
i m now using indon contractor to do most of reno work. it is cheaper than local contractor. (no choice i need to take care of my pocket)
what if the indon contractors left msia?

If indon contractors left msia, get another indon contractors. If dun have, then get bangla. =)

Beware, dont end up like the case in shah alam bungalow for taufu work

Hi All,

For Sky Light or Awning, use Lexan* Twin Wall, Grade Recommended is Lexan* 10mm Thickness Solar Control IR, Light Green in

Color

In the 1960s, NASA used Lexan* Brand Polycarbonate for Astronaut helmet assemblies and visors which became known as

"bubble helmets", including those used by the Apollo moon astronauts.



Advantages
1) 2 Wall , Better Heat Insulation
2) Lower Cost
3) Reduce 30% Heat
4) 2 Side UV Resistant Coating ( Generally, Polycarbonate is NOT Chemical Resistant. Excellent Printed as label, example

laptop Battery uses Polycarbonate FR Film as Label. Glass is VERY VERY Difficult to Paint or print which makes them

Chemical Resistant)
5) Impact Resistance. Virtually Un-Breakble . Youtube has many Video on the Impact Test
6) 10 year Warranty - Against Yellowing ( yellow Index Not more than 2, which naked Eyes can see)
- Against Impact ( Drilled Holes Failure not Warrant)
- Against Lost of Light Transmission
7) Light Transmission - More than 65%. Brightness is the Reason you Choose Polycarbonate
8) Coated PolyCarbonate ( Lexan* Own Coating which was Developed in-house)

Dust or Fungus will grow in the slot but that can be eliminate if you get a Good Contractor.
Use Anti - Dust tape, which will allow the Water to Vaporize and 'Flow' out through the Special Membrane in the Anti-Dust

Tape
It will prevent Water from Sipping in and Grow Fungus

Many Stadium are Built from Multi-Wall Sheet , which uses the Anti-Dust Tape ( Do a Search for Anti-Dust tape)

Examples :





Material Cost for Lexan* 10mm Thickness Solar Control IR,is approximately RM 6.80/square feet.
Note That The Structure is more Costlier ( Workmanship + Structure = 70% ) that the Roofing Material( Roofing Material is

the Critical part of Sheltering)

For more Details of Recommendation, Kindly contact me below

To be Sure, Call the manufacturer for a Claim ( Some Manufacturer also claim give 10 years Warranty). Ask them to visit

you. You can judge the product by their Services
Give them the Lot No ( Date of Manufacturing or Purchasing Agents for Verification).

Another Option is to use 6 mm Lexan* Solid Sheet. Same Warranty .
6mm will not be break by an Axe & and will not deform from heat ( 3 mm thick Polycarbonate will Wave on hot Days)

its probably because of fire code or safety reason. it can be also to avoid possibility of neighbor complaining later (maybe block sunlight?). anyway, a house in my area did this without approval, but ended up kena saman (or duit kopi, i dunno). he still get to keep it though, no need to demolish
