Added <9th March 2012> The outcome photo:-





This is The original house plan, Took me 1 day full measurement and draw using Visio near to scale.

It still bother me, why do the USJ developer design such a odd shape house. Can't they have a good architect designing a proper square house? Maybe is my personal preference.









And this is the Desire outcome.


<removed, request by Finance minister>



Renovation work already start, Wet work is about 60% completion. Electrical, and water pipes, Toilets, and roof starting soon.

Ohh Good luck on your renovation.

You even extended the 1st floor.

Can share what is the estimated cost so far?

Yes, i move out the toilet, and reinforce the floor so future upgrade will not be so hassle. Also is not much more compare to just build ground floor kitchen with normal clay roof. Last i compare, is only extra of 2k to 3k, cause clay roof is not cheap too.


Wet work, new water pipe, roof secure with zinc sheet, all new electrical wiring, windows is about 90k +-

Still got flooring, electrical items, paints, furniture, doors, and lots more... easily another fold of the amount.

there goes the clay bricks... nowadays cement bricks only..

alot of work there, at least 200k?

btw just curious how much u bought the unit?

Brought last year April, 363k now go up like crazy. Hopefully the reno don't reach that amount.

Hope to see more pictures of your reno soon.

Like you I'm also doing reno on my house at the moment as well. It's a problem balancing the budget when considering the other aspects (grill, alarm, tiles, fittings, cabinets, furniture, etc, etc)!

This one is after 2nd, 3rd, 4th, weeks and recent photos of renovation.

2nd week, Work focus more on the rear, did not take photos.

The front are nearly gone, the round round floor also gone.


Removed one of the ugly pillar, the 2nd pillar will be remove after new slab is build.



3th week,
The front slab was build


4th week,
The front full slab is build. (there is another 6' slab to be build for parking porch)


The rear floor raised, and pillar raised for toilet. <some mistake here, the toilet pillar suppose to be wider, but managed to find a workaround to the problem>



Taken last week,
The front section, ugly round pillar no longer there.

very big project. seen like rebuilt again ya.
How much you spend for the wet work?

about 50k, excluding the tiling, water, and electrical.

You master bedroom has a perfect size for hifi. Sweet.

looks like a very big project

starting to look good already.

Ohhh. Good price. I bought mine this year RM493k.
The lady behind me want to sell hers for RM700k.
People in Subang Krazy (including yours truly)

Err.What is wet works?. Expensive ah?

Wet work is like hacking, building slab, concrete floor, beam and brick works.

Oh, ok. I thought it was making the toilet and kitchen waterproof
Thanks

Wow, from 493k to 700k that is over 40% increase, is it major difference in structure comparing to your?

At my section, there is 3 variant + corner type.
2 intermediate terrace variant and the other variant is with a narrow piece of land at the side.
My model is the one with the intermediate variant with a narrow driveway columm.
The one calling for RM700K is the intermediate type with the wide driveway columm.
Another difference is that it faces south (Good Feng Shui, I guess)

Good Feng Shui or not is not only depend of facing south. Got lots of factor. Now the agent are finding all sort of excuse to sell it higher.

if we're the ones selling, i am sure we'll also do whatever it takes to justify the highest price possible for our property xD
