Congrats !!
Be detailed as possible and prepared to get your budget tanked.

Uarghhhh ...after reading the many experiences here .... one thing I learned .... budget is actually no budget ... only increase !!

That's definitely the truth. Congrats on your new house!!

Money is one thing .. the other headache is timeline

These two goes hand in hands laaaaaaa .... always overshoot !!!

just curious...

where do you all get the money to buy a house in klang valley eg 500 k

then find another 300k for renovation ???

Mostly from the bank ... other than that you have to suffered big time during younger days ... enjoy enjoy sure not enough saving

P/s I dont have a budget of 300K for reno works

reno ideas are limitless and most probably bounded by the budget you have.

u can roughly calculate howmuch to spent based on the pfr/charges @ this forum, eg;

Labor only
lay 2x2 tiles labor only = rm4-6/pfr,
Aircon point/ water heater = rm180 onwards
Down light point = rm55 / rm35 (looping)
Labour to paint whole house = rm1.7-1.8k (internal only)

Material
2x2 tile , rm10 - rm80++ onwards
casement window = rm20/pfr etc
flat plaster ceiling = rm2 pfr onwards etc
Lbox = rm10++ /pfr
grille = rm11 psf (MS powder coat)
erect wall = rm8/psf (include plastering)

Best to set a budget allocation, then only grilling down what is necessary/priority to be done
Alternatively, to save more, you could hire a few workers and purchase material by urself (but need supervision and some know how)

Big house you got there.... congratulations!

I see on your plan that there are new room, new lots of things. Are those extensions already done? Or you plan to do those extension yourself?
If it's the latter, your timeline will most likely be pushed back.

Not big xecton .. only on paper

As for the extension I have asked the developer to do it ... hence I will enjoy the warranty period I'm praying hard that it will be on time as they metioned it will be ready by then ...


For the last few days …. testing my creativity …. using Visio only ar .. so don't kutuk kaw-kaw
just a layman idea laaa ….
Layout for Ground floor


Layout for First Floor


Comments are welcome .....

your diagram in the bedroom

those are study tables or wardrobe ?

You really have a big family. So many room.

bro khairul, u really need so many living room & sofas meh kekekeke..
Maybe u can rename/convert as Multimedia room, Gaming PC area,
Study Area etc.. if not end up like me, buy many sofa and 1seaters, no one sitting hahaha..
Nice for one-time housewarming and hari raya, other than that, HELL if u helping ur wife to do "weekend" cleaning house.

Each bedroom has it's own study desk ... For the long room, thinking of having sharing study desk ... chairs on opposite site

wow, your arrangement are look not bad, really hv some creativity on that. is just some of the small part arrangement are not so suitable and accessible. Not sure the thing you put in like sofa, table and bad are they in real scale or not.

If you don't mind my suggestion...


Attached thumbnail(s)

scale wise, it's close but not accurate
I do agree on the accessibility .... need people like you to share expertise
