Built in wardrobes, kitchen cabinets - you can actually try those furniture galleries around your area. Nowadays, the wardrobes can be custom made to suite the dimensions of your room. The samples are in the galleries so find something close to what you like, and tweak it from there. Saves time from getting a contractor/interior design person to come and view, plans, drawings, re-work again, final drawings etc etc. Furthermore, its going to be more expensive too. So scout the furniture galleries around your area. 2. TV console - furniture galleries! There are plenty of beautiful ones from RM500 - RM2500 you are bound to find something beautiful and comes with lighting as well. 3. Plaster ceiling, polycarbonate roof, grille, alarms, glass tinting, renovations etc can be done by any standard contractor. However you can try 019 - 279 8216, this guy does LED lightings and he has reliable contractors who can do reno etc as well. You may want to prepare that you may not be able to move in by this month end...realistic would be end of next mth... |

Don't forget to measure the ceiling height as well, in case you want a custom design full height wardrobe and so on. Happy reno! |

Are you going to have concealed wires for AC or any electrical appliances? do lay the wires first, you can install those stuffs later. If you stay in the house and do it, it will be quite dirty especially if you have babies or kids around.

Dont rush to move in or chasing your contractors to get thing done, else you may get a worst job when bring other issue in future. DO it and do it right in first time. Last page on your S&P should already have the floor Plan plus you should still keep the broacher, rights??? As recommend by other, get the dirty job done fast..the rest can wait. * I'm doing renovation now, and Iinformed my contractor take his time, and make sure in future only visit me for a drink or new job or 8, not coming back for repair... |
