ok, appreciate your advice of the rough cost on below items:

- Light + fan = 40 points
- power point = 41 points

Is a 5 bedroom & 4 bathroom apartment.

Thx!

PMed others already that requested.
today tips:

1. Previouly i forgot to mention, it is recommended the maximum distance between pillar is 20 fts, ensure that at least every 20 fts, there is a pillar.This to ensure your strength of your upper beam.

2. Another tips, about grills, please do not use screw when to ground your grill, instead use this new type plug (i cant remember the name of this plug but start with K), this new type for install grill. If use use screw, robber can easily unscrew your grill. With this type of plug, they have cut it with grinder make it difficult for them. Somehow this new plug is nice. Pic attach my house sample:

3. To install bi fold door. While laying tile, please ensure the do step down to install bi fold frame. This look nice and also your frame does not 'timbul' and to avoid you accidently 'terlanggar' . See pic below, my bi fold fame.

Hi tomjason,

just to update you on the contractor work that we have discussed before..See my bakau wood pile..big rite. smallest I've measured is 4.7inches..
So now i feel safer with this contractor..the other contractor neighbouring houses, their wood pile is 3 inches max, some 2 inches (I measure from the wood pile thrown at the back of the house, indon worker staring at me). So I am confident with the contractor that I have chosen thanks to your feedback..although this guys is more expensive on paper...but looking the materials that he use, I dont think he is expensive..I think the other 2 contractors before are expensive because of the materials..

Also, this contractor protect my flooring with carpet! I was like WAH!..other ppl use canvas and plywood only..

and the frame for fencing foundation is 15 inches by 10 inches for the entire stretch of fence..and the depth is estimated 1.5 ft deep

Other houses only use 10 x 5 inches for fence

wah..good to hear about that...

the kayu bakau you mention and the fencing foundation are correct....

do update on progress...

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....

See the bakau pile...I measure near the tip..coz some bakau is only thick at the center then becomes smaller and smaller nearer to tip......Anyway I inspect throughout the pile...quite consistent and they are taiwan's. RM15 per pcs.

The other contractor's pile smaller like 3 inches and senget senget so I am glad I picked this contractor although more expensive

I'm happy with my contractor..Thanks for your help

bro, pm me your secret formula , thanks
