QUOTE(lainux @ Dec 14 2011, 11:06 AM) so u did your own drawing for technical stuff? Hahahaha... unfortunately no... had to get an architect for that. We drew rough plans... he measured the site before and indicated the changes that would happen after as it has to be colour coded for council submission and provided the technical specifications for some of the load transfer work that was done.good job. If i drew the plans for submission the kakak at the council office would probably smile and say... "Dik... yang ni arkitek kena lukis... tapi adik punya saya gatung kat dinding belakang ni kerana warna-warni"  |

QUOTE(adrianjc @ Nov 13 2011, 07:11 AM) This is my house in PJ, am currently in the midst of renovation works. nice reno there...Most of the masonry work has been completed, wiring is almost done, aircond, water & sewage piping have both been completed. At the moment it's about 70% completed. Original Facade  All the walls have come crumbling down  1st floor rear room extension   Majority of the walls on 1st floor taken down  Staircase repositioned for space optimization  Door frames delivered and syelek'ed  Front facade torn down  Front facade rebuilt with new car porch.  New lay-out of the ground floor with 10ft ground floor extension  Progress is going so far, so good.... getting the wiring completed within next week so that the plaster ceiling guy can start work. Another 2-3 months to completion, maybe...  how much?? |

I think if you provide a layout plan, the architect will have his work reduced,If i drew the plans for submission the kakak at the council office would probably smile and say... "Dik... yang ni arkitek kena lukis... tapi adik punya saya gatung kat dinding belakang ni kerana warna-warni" (He do not have to visit site and do measurement), can discount and incur lower charges.  |

Timber strips no problem taking the abuses of weather, just make sure you use hardwood type timber strips. The strips used here are Chengal wood and they've been coated and shellacked to withstand the rain and sun. |
