The extension of 2nd floor "8.01" will need some work on the ground floor for supporting. Extending 3rd floor "9.01" will need some work on the ground and 2nd floor.

If the end of your kitchen wall don't have supporting pillar, contractor may need to hack out the last 5 feet of your kitchen to build slab and footing for your 1st and 2nd floor extension.

Are you planing to use RC slab or clay roof to cover the rear extension?

I am guessing anything from 150 to 200k.

weikee,

Very good point.. in my conversations with contractors they did mention about having to create a better ground floor support.. but you paint a better picture..

I'm planning to use clay roof to cover the rear extension for now.. but would it be better to put RC slab? what's the pro/cons?

Clay roof i guess is more cooling. RC slab is easier for "closing" like my house lots of funny design roof, edge here and edge got to use RC slab else need to re do entire roof.

Price wise, my contractor told me not much difference.

You may want to budget Alarm wiring in. Maybe around 1.5k

How about CCTV?
