plain plaster ceiling is the most economical... it should be around RM2 - 2.2/ ft2
Doubt you will be able to get alternative ceiling material lower then these.

For ground floor, can always skim coat onto the plain concrete.

These are the most economical... smile.gif

what about those that are like "office-type" ceiling with alu rails and some thicker boards any idea how much that would cost ?

seriously, get people who are going to remove your asbestos to wear mask and hand glove as it could cause cancer to the worker. It is so deadly that singapore has officially ban using asbestos years ago and also certain procedure to remove those. smile.gif

Plaster ceiling is one of the most economical ceiling you would find in the market i guess. smile.gif

just curious are those "asbestos" ceiling boards still made of asbestos ? or is it made from some other material now days ?

Those are aluminium tee ceiling with board. Why would you want to use that for your house? miss the office environment so much  biggrin.gif

most of the board being used today are asbestos free already. unless you are referring to those more than 30 years old houses

hahah no la rather like the clean elegant look with the alu railing between the boards and all easier to lift it and fix things cut holes and etc unlike those that are permanently nailed in..

any idea how to know if my current ceiling is asbestos free ? is there some marking or something that i should look at

dont like the idea of my lovely home is killing me softly.. ahhahaha
