i attached the original floorplan in first post..

i really hope it wont cost that much... i wont be using ID.. just design it myself.. and wont be needing high end stuff.. just as long as it doesnt look cheap.. hahaha...

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?

thanks for the info. yeah if i want clay roof they said need to raise the current roof up a bit.. hmm.. rc roof may not be a bad idea as well.. i'll try to model it first see how it looks..

yes alarm i have not budget it in yet.. actually a lot of the interior items i have not included yet.. the kitchen cabinet, furnishings, curtains, tvs.. man.. come to think of it really scary ah budget wise..

CCTV im thinking to do as well.. but see lah.. maybe end up buying a cheap wireless one.. or connect it to my home LAN.. something like that..

thanks for the advise guys.. vincentjaya, I am starting to learn to use Google Sketchup, very nice piece of software.. finished with the walls now designing the roof.. the roof quite difficult to do for me..

im sure i will need to cut down on the "wish-list"... but I'll need to see the quotation from contractors first to decide which items to go..

Kelvyn, these clay roof tiles you mentioned, how much more expensive then the regular concrete tiles? I didnt even know the difference..:-)

Let's discuss via PM.
