Actually, I was also skeptical when I first found this supplier.  I visited his factory, and asked him questions.  I think I paid all in, RM17k for flooring and for staircase, including skirting.  Becaus I did the stairs together with the FF floor, he charged me the staircase timber floor same as the normal floor, around RM14 psf (I cannot remmber but he has a promotion package at his website, just take a look).  I think average per sf (incl skiring cost_) cld be around RM17 or RM18 psf.  This is all in cost on a psf basis, covering batten and skirting. 

The timber is 18mm thick, 90mm wide, with lengths ranging from 1 foot to 5 feet long.  He uses bona coating.  The floor is laid on top of cengal battens spaced 4 or 5 inche apart...

I talked to another flooring expert, their product knowledge is not as good as mr woon.   

Timber floor is way nicer than tiles, and look very nice too.  When my sister saw my floor, she said to me, very worth it.  Also, my sister is quite knowledgeable about timber becuz she used to sel timber as a trade.  So I think shld be ok lah..

Usually, chceap no good, and good no cheap.  But I think Mr Woon's timber is not really cheap lah, it is more to do with other ppl are selling it expensive!!  (My cinapek contractor also quote me RM18 psf)

Staircase : @ RM 160-180 per Step – Tread only – supply & install merbau solid timber, landing is charge per sqft. average step for double storey house is 16 steps plus 2 landing.

I spent RM17,000 for timber flooring for first floor (24' x 55') and the tangga.  Average abt RM15 psf I think.

1. Planks 18mm thick 1 ft to 5 fft lengths, 90mm wide
2. Planks placed on cengal batten placed 4" to 5" apart
3. Water based coating(Bona - accordng to the supplier)
4. Area covered - all upstairs floor & 14 stepts of stairs & landing.

When I started my reno, I wanted to use cheap cheap things to save cost.  My friend said to me, better to feel the pain one time only (meaning spend alot of $$ for the reno to do it right), rather than to hve pain everyday (heart sick to see the end result if not done properly).  I suppose he is right, thats why I spnt on my timber floor, which cost RM5k more than tiles.

Now when I look around my house, Iwish I had spent abit more on better finishes in some places.  I opted for the Niro 2x2 polished tiles wihich was lelong at builders mart at RM14 per pc.  It would be nicer if I spent more on sthg really very special (maybe double thee cost).  Since my Niro tiles look quite decent (not exquisite), so it is not painful for me, and it is just a nice to have.

To save cashflow, I have brought my old furnture across (tv counter, dining table, sofa).  Will buy new ones when I see sthg good later..

Just google lah bro.

Wiki  " MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker)--A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. "

It is those black color thingy inside your DB.  A lot are made in Malaysia , sirim approved, are just as good. Only the ELCB buy better imported one safer.

About to install something called Borneo Cherry.

If it is indeed real american cherry, u might have lucked out. But cherry is softer than merbau and is prone to dents so one has to be wary of unpadded furniture legs and sharp objects.

Nowadays retailers name wood all types of names..takes a real wood guy to tell you what really is what.

I might caution you from doing this though. depending on your knowledge of wood, it might be a risk not worth taking if you do not have any history on how this wood is seasoned (ie. KD schedules, Moisture content, dimensional tolerances). Once installed, when problems develop, you'd run into a lot of finger pointing. if you buy material yourself, you would also need to factor in wastages and if the installer is diligent in helping you save material (since he's not paying for it)

Prices do vary a lot from what work is involved, what finishing (solvent or waterbased PU), how many coats of finishing. refinishing for wood floors with a good multi-layer coat would usually run about $5.50/sf. Installation depends on what installation method used and on what material (lamparquet, timber strips, batten, moisture barrier, waterproofing, leveling etc). 
This is just an exotic name given to a local species.

I assume this is supply and install prices, but i don't know if you can get those prices now,especially if its on waterbased finish. Merbau has gone up some 10-15% recently...

I'm pretty sure Bona Mega can be made available for people who really want it. But for a price of course... hehehehe...
