There are so many showhouses at the Zest.
You can do your shopping there and compare for the best quotation.
The contractors are most eager to get your biz

What are the things that you are doing for yr unit??

Grille?
Kitchen Cab?
Concealed air con piping?
Power Point?

Mind if I ask how much u need to spend for your unit?

Wow, u do so much must be for your own stay laa...why start work so slow...Block C is the first block to collect keys

Eh, Block C level 3 oso got one showroom for Type D leh...Your unit must be very near to that...

ooo..yr cousin is your renovation contractor

Added on March 28, 2012, 2:19 pmAik I thought u r going to rent out your unit? If renting, what the need of taking out the wall and window?

Dun think u want to have your whole living area smell of the food u cook. Have learnt fr this mistake twice!

U're right, my unit is another side of the showroom u mentioned.

My cousin doing glass & grill one, he help his fren ask me for show unit purposes

Ooo...wah got competition dah...actually so many show units pop up dah...

Yr opp showunit, they said their show unit cost abt 15k

Since yrs a show unit, do u get 50% subsidised ka?

Eh, how much did Type D grille cost ya??? just wanna find out the costing

So yr unit will be a show unit for how long ya? They need to pay u rental

Wah, grill oni in front. Save a lot wooo...
But just worry next time tenant ask for full grill susah pulak...

[quote=mrPOTATO,Mar 28 2012, 08:23 PM]Thx for d heads up. 1 of the units tear the whole wall down then put up a sliding door. I'm planning the same concept for mine, mayb using tempered glass sliding from ceiling. Definitely not gonna rent the place out cos i like tz so much. Its for me to stay

[/quote]


Yes, tearing off the wall is a wonderful idea if u r planning to stay...I oso like the design. I saw 1 of such showhouse at Block A,. which is still renovating(belonged to C7.5 showhouse contractor).

Tearing off the wall cost abt rm700 oni, but to built a tempered glass sliding dunno how much that cost...do u know?...
But love the idea of building a tempered glass divider cum door too

No smokey & smelly living room

I bet 90% of the time the owner will close the curtain, unless of course if they dun mind ppl looking into their unit.

[/quote]

Ha ha ha...very accurate analysis.

But it is still a wonderful unit for my fren cos got family with kids who love to swim. Very convenient as no need to wait to take lift. Suffocate laa ...just walk out of the unit and jump into the pool At the same time can look after the kids fr the balcony

My fren who love to see things happening outside...ha ha ha...can kepo laa...Tat's my fren. Can't std indoor for too long. Boring

Outside like its own garden and its very own swimming pool laaa...I oso like

My fren get the called too... about 50% cost of reno with cheap material and need rental for show unit period.
Jz reno kitchen cabinet and master room cabinet...
The rest is my cousin do it for me with low labour cost, i pay for material only...
wait the unit done, only check on the rental market... how much u think i should get?

[/quote]


Wah, u r the lucky one...green eye aready laa

Based on what u said, ur unit is still considered partially furnished.
So yr rental may be from RM1500 to RM1800....that's wat I think based on info fr the thread.

The sliding door and the tempered glass come together ka??? Or it's either or?
RM3k ++ for tempered glass sounds good...it comes with a door rite? 11 feet rite?

Yea, saw the Type A at Block B level 1 showhouse...so wonderfully big...
Yours is type B rite? Ok oso what..

Is yr unit under renovation aready, or still getting quotation? Do u check around at the showhouses at the Zest?

Hmmm...can't imagine how the tempered glass hung on the ceiling with roller.....if got picture show ya..
Love the concept of tempered glass for kitchen. Mind if to share your contact of supplier?

So u planning hv a kitchen bigger than the yard? Since u r staying, better to extend a few feet more into the dining. If not mistaken, yr orig yard shld be abt 11'5 by 4'5.

Wht do u plan to do for your house? For own stay must do nice nice one....Plaster ceiling, Kitchen Cab/ room cab? Concealed air cond?
Concealed air cond very expensive laa...got quotation until more than rm1000 for 2 air cond...R u doing that?

---

Added on March 30, 2012, 3:01 pmType D oso
Yea the windows are a bit odd

Eh, I thought you taken away the wall for yr yard and become a kitchen?
No yard, where do u plan to hang yr clothes ya?

Wah, that's the design for yr unit ka?? So nice
Ooo..the tempered glass u meant is to separate the dining and the living? I thought to separate the kitchen fr the dining area.
2 contractors told me that if want to put 1.5 hp air con got to use 2 hp piping leee, so yr RM1k for both air cond piping shld be sufficient maa

All contractors got sth cheaper or more expensive...Maybe u can try to bargain with them by telling them the cheaper quotation tat u get...d more quotation u got d better...Then u know d price roughly abt how much...

Dun see y u cant get separate contractor for separate thgs...but leceh a bit oni...considering approval, access, etc. Tis cAse u r like d contractor laa...got to monitor.

Congrats
Yr unit is which block n level?

u oso sold yrs?

Mind if i ask the price, type n when u sell?

Hmm..it doesn't matter where is the hob, so long the smell does not go to the living room maa....

yr 20k ++ include furniture ka??? Mine cut cut cut pun...took rm20k include furniture...my reno very little oni...hv not decided on what to do with the kitchen area at dining hall since I didn't tear the wall...I just remove the sink and close the paip oni....

Got not good feelings abt them when they stage a drama of my air-con wall is a concrete wall....can't drill...therefore concealed air con route is very far, need to charge higher...70% higher

Added on April 5, 2012, 9:14 pmWah, tat quite a good rate with so little frnishing wooo....must be high floor laa..

This post has been edited by ZEST2012: Apr 5 2012, 09:14 PM

Welcome and congrats for being a new owner ...

Mind to share how much u bought and wat design ya? Mid floor , high floor??

I think one of the most expensive items is the Grille laa, fully grilled for rm2200....i think outside can get cheaper laa
Do u do full grille?

Furnishing for my 2 small rooms I have not include laa..just the master bedroom first...yea IKEA got some creative things, but for bedroom things like bed, cupboard, mattress...hmmmm....

O dear lost one of my access card at the gym today!

I was informed that our management office can deactivate a reported lost access card !

Just hope the founder of my card can return to me
