monopitch roof is more expensive right?

Mine is flat concrete roof. So far look good. The bottom of the RC slab (parking porch ceiling) i did not put plaster ceiling, my contractor do plastering for me.

His worker take 3 days do it. Ceiling plastering is really hard work.

You want mine? price is standard lah not the cheapest. But standard.
Autogate also i just found. My wife colleague use this Autogate installer for few of this house, and her other colleague too.

When you want to install? Cause i have not use him, If you can wait, maybe in 1 month time. Or I can give you now, you call him to compare price.

Hehe, my renovation is slow, i think is more like hotel for the indo. Yours maybe faster.

Anyway he quote me 1.4k local arm + standby battery, with 1 year warranty. Wiring excluded.

In case your electric contractor don't know, ask him lay 11 cores cable before the parking slab. Better still Armored. (Mine is 11 core armored). 3 for power, 4 for auto switch, 1 (some use 2) for light so you only have 2 to 3 core spare. Each end of the gate pillar, lay 4 core armored cable, terminate to where you terminate the the 11 core.

Depend your autogate use how many cores, some autogate use only 6 core, so you have one more for switching on/off inside the house. If use all 7 cores sure you don't have anymore wire for lamp post loh.

After hacking so many of the floor slab, i don't see the original developer did that in my house. Think they only raised the rebar above the soil.

For glass, it need special opening.

Yes bracket, you cannot put glass just like putting roof, All glass will expand and contract, and need special bracket and silicon to hold.

All ballast i use are made in Malaysia, from North, think is Kedah. Don't get from China unless is good brand like GE / Osram (usually cost more than Malaysia made). The China unbrand usually make noise after few hundred hours of usage.

Top Ten lighting price are cheap, but i find most of the downlight quality are shoby quality. You ask them change to better ballast when you get light with ballast.

T5 have 5', but only have one selection of light 820. This mean only yellow for 5'. Other length you can get 830, and 865 daylight, and also white light.

You may want to try Wong Lighting at Pasar road, they bring in few model i can't find in some other light shop i went. And the downlight quality is much better, thicker metal casing and much solid build. Of course price are much more expensive. Range about RM 4+per downlight.

I brought all my downlight, T5 from Wong lighting. Got myself 36 downlight, and 16 x 4' T5, 4 x 2' T5, and 2 x 1' T5. All bulb are Osram, and T5 casing are Osram except for 1' casing.

You did not check out the brand "eluminuz"? Think is their own brand and quality much better than most downlight.

Check it out, try the PJ branch too. They have one in Seapark / Paramount.

Piping and Wiring -> Plaster -> Wall tiles -> Plaster ceiling -> Floor water proofing -> Floor tiles

Is it, for entire stretch or can brick up like 5 feet?

The contract maybe using a thicker and longer hinge that look like the old hinge. Mine replace with a 1' length install in the left and right pillar.

You need to add in floor leveling. Laminated required good flat base.

Plaster ceiling price is on the high side.

That one is normal aluminum support (maybe a GI metal) very thin. For plaster ceiling.

Longer as in from slab to ceiling? Unless length go from 1' to 2' maybe cost some extra. How much more you need to pay? My contractor did not ask for extra.

All my contractor busy now. Don't know they have time do your's. Maybe you source around.
