for tile:

For tile 1x1, the upah is RM2 sq ft. If include cement etc then RM4 sq ft.
For tile 2x2, the upah only RM2.5 sq ft, mean per tile upah only RM10. If include cement etc around RM18-RM20 per tile.

just to share...actually most contractor use formula to calculate the estimation of you renovation..else..how can they can give quotation between 2,3 days...if somebody want to know the formula..do PM me..

TQ..
after the selection of the steel iron, observe also for the sand type they use...the best sand for renovation is from 'mine/lombong'..usually the mine sand is white in color....the.....second is from river..or we call pasir sungai....normally river sand in yellowish or redish in color.....for pasir sungai or river sand..make sure that the river sand is 'wash' type...else....there is mud inside the sand..causing your concrete not strong enough....


for brick selection....if you got budget..use red brick 'tanah merah'....this brick is good and strong..it also..make your house cooler..compared to sand brick....for sand brick..the price..last time is about 0.23 sen ...else..the red brick is about 0.37 sen..price already gone up...for the red brick..the fully bake brick is good...how to recognized this brick?...there is some black color or line on the brick....

i would like to ask if the house is already 20 years, is it advisable to change the roof or repaint the roof?

is it nowadays roof is not as good as the old days roof?
*
if your roof not in bad condition such as cracking etc, better repaint. For repaint old roof tile, to make your paint last longer advisable to remove the fungus on the roof tile first before (the fungus can be remove by spray water jet) repaint else the new paint will not stick long enough on the roof tile due to fungus. It depend on the fungus on your roof tile..if not so bad then can repaint without removing it.

Yes old roof tile is much better than today roof tile..

good luck.

Tips:

Kitchen Hood :

For me, i dont like to clean the oil on the grill of the hood, i not promoting any brand, try find hood that had auto clean function. With auto clean, i just pour the mixture of water and cleanser into the hood reservoir than push button clean, the system will auto clean and residue will go out into glass compartment. i love my hood so much.

For 20x25 If you hire indon worker..one worker can do it in one day (cost RM80)...but if you want to remove the fungus..at least 2 or 3 days for one worker.

Let say Nippon roof paint cost around RM90-RM100 (one year ago price). for your house you need 2 tins.

using rebar instead BRC net steel for your floor is the best....but it is costly and timing cause, need worker to tie the individual rebar...
today tips:
1. attach picture below is my DIY for the kitchen sink pipe outlet. This is the correct way to install the kitchen sink outlet pipe. Please use this type of elbow (using screw) so that when your outlet pipe is blockage with food wastage , you can easily unscrew the elbow and clear the blockage with wire or 'wire ring' that you can buy from hardware shop.

     
2. From the pic below also, to avoid your food wastage pipe from blockage, use my tips, use at least upvc pipe size 3" or 4" at the last end to man hole, this way your do not have food wastage blockage is future. My design , from the sink, i use upvc sirim approve (thick) size 11/2 ", then goes to upvc pipe size 2", and at last goes under ground upvc pipe size 3" to man hole. Please study the pic in detail.

[attachmentid=2787447]
want more clarification, inform me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. For electrical, i would advise to have seperate DB for your house if you are doing reno, such as one DB at living room, one DB at kitchen or one DB at upstair. In this way you can easy manage and easy to troubleshoot in future.

4. If you are doing reno, i would advised you to install power socket and light inside your upper ceilling, And the ceilling power socket and light have switch control from down stair.
want more clarification, inform me.
