Hi

I have decided to renovate my house from a double storey linked to a 2.5 storey. I have also decided to extend my kitchen to the end, extend my 2 bedrooms behind on the 1st floor to the end as well. I have surveyed houses in my garden and gotten some ideas on doing the extra half floor. I would like to have minimum roof tiles. I am thinking of having the extra room (the extra 0.5 storey) at behind and do a balcony in front. To do that the whole 1st floor ceiling will need to be on concrete. I was told by the contractor architect that for a double storey linked house, we are only allow to concrete half of the length of the house. We are not allow even if the other half is a balcony. I am puzzle how other house can do it. Of course most of the time $$$$ works.

Can someone advice?

Oh I see. So some are flouting the law. That tough for them to sell later if the buyer is aware.

My contractor/architect is correct then.

Thanks guys.

Its cheaper to extend. Cost less than 200K incl extend kitchen, 1st floor back room, front room extension and another 0.5 storey.

A new 3 storey near my area i think its now 800-900K. Then you still need reno.

i think my house is around 600K. For some reason OUG house didnt shoot up la. Neighbour Sri Petaling shoot up like crazy and somemore leasehold.

So plus 200K = 800K. So if buy a 800K 2.5 storey might still have to extend kitchen and rooms at 1st floor. Cannot la still expensive. Selling and buying, hate that...

Waiting architect. Then submission for approval. Haiya. Long process.

Half only. One level cannot get cert if I want. I'm a law abiding citizen .

I heard you just pay a small fine but still no cert. So selling might be a problem later...

said last time can but now cannot. Maybe a lot of complaints from neighbour of affected house. I cannot build the half level in front of the house. It has to be behind. Kind of make sense too as it would not be so obvious to the neighbour.

Was told if corner house then I can have a full floor.
