Tomjason, from fews of your comment, its seem the cost for hacking wall n floor is relatively cheap (i consider below 1k is cheap because i expect more since need to demolish a tough wall n firm floor). is the cost is around that range?

You are welcomed..

for your toilet sink is it under sink or at the wall?...if under the sink a bit difficult especially if you have already got the kithcen cabinet...that why my new kitchen i do not install kitchen tap under sink. No need to cut the pipe.do not do that.


to change the tap..first you must have the tools..such as 'spanar hidup' or adjustable spanner..

for under sink:

1. first dismantle flexi water hose (of course you must turn off the stop cock first) connected to the water tap.
2. remove the 'clamp' that hold the water tap to the sink by unscrew it.

if possible post the pic so that i can know exactly show you how to change it.


TQ

Hi Tomjason,

I just bought a small house 18'x60'.
Hopes you could helps to provide estimate cost for my reno as below:
1. extend kitchen 5' x 18'
2. move ground floor toilet to back
3. break wall 3' x 8.5'
4. car porch remove middle "tiang" to side
Thanks ya in advance.

hi bro,

below is estimate calculation:

1. extend kitchen 5' x 18'
Ans: Total cost RM11K

2. move ground floor toilet to back
Ans: my assumption standard toilet size 5x6 ft. Cost to built new is RM3600. If your new toilet is located in the new extention in item 1 above , then the cost much less.

3. break wall 3' x 8.5'
Ans: RM160

4. car porch remove middle "tiang" to side
Ans:Remove tiang, i need to see the diagram first, cause 'tiang' or pillar you can not simply remove it, later roboh porch.Without seeing the your overall structure, the estimated cost is RM1500 (inclusive material,foundation,man power).

Hi Tomjason, are you a contractor? I have just get my keys for a 2nd hand house. Can you advise me on the cost for renovation as well.

What I intend to do;
1) change the whole house floor tiling 22'x75' include car porch
2) move the column at my car porch to the side so that I can park my car easier
3) there is a leaking at the water tank and roof area, so I need to get someone to refurbish and rectify my roofing issues
4) add additional wirings, air-conditioner points and piping to all the rooms, water heater points, lay astro cabling and if possible fibre optic cable
5) paint the whole house interior and exterior
6) move the refuse chamber to the side so that my main gate can change wider
7) kitchen concrete top
8) refurbish all 3 bathrooms, change WC and basin and new floor and wall tilings

Please advise.

Thanks.

i m not contractor...but experienced for my house reno as post in the thread..

below is my comment:

1) change the whole house floor tiling 22'x75' include car porch
Ans: Estimated cost Tile owner buy, RM6600 (for single storey house) tile 1x1. If all tile 2x2, the cost RM8500. If double storey then x2.

2) move the column at my car porch to the side so that I can park my car easier
Ans: To remove column, cannot simply remove afraid your porch roboh..must look the condition first. But if condition ok, the cost estimated RM1500.

3) there is a leaking at the water tank and roof area, so I need to get someone to refurbish and rectify my roofing issues
Ans:For water tank, if leaking at outlet or connection can repair around RM100-RM150 but if leak at the tank itself, i would suggest you to replace..cause if you tampal now, after 2,3 year it will leak again. If want to change water tank, estimated single storey house (tank and labor) RM500-RM700 depend on tank size. If double storey, it cost a little bit more, estimated max RM1000.


4) add additional wirings, air-conditioner points and piping to all the rooms, water heater points, lay astro cabling and if possible fibre optic cable
Ans:

Wiring

Downlight(lighting) around RM60-65
Downlight (lighting) loop RM40
Aircond cable 2.5mm RM150
Socket cable 2.5 mm RM120
Fan Rm70
Water heater 2.5mm RM150
Wall light RM60
Upah pasang light RM5-RM8
Upah pasanag fan RM20
Oven 4mm cable RM200

Piping aircond (normal not inverter type) depend on size of pipe and aircond HP, in the range RM150-RM450.


5) paint the whole house interior and exterior
Ans: Paint whole house, paint owner buy, if you hire indon, the cost labor for standard double storey house RM1500 but if you hire main contrator much expensive as they mark up.

6) move the refuse chamber to the side so that my main gate can change wider
Ans:i m not sure what you mean 'refuse chamber'..i suppose the tnb cable and meter?

7) kitchen concrete top
Ans: Tile owner buy, cost in the range RM25-RM40 sq ft. The lower range normally for indon worker price. Some main contractor mark up high sometime until RM84, ridiculous.


8) refurbish all 3 bathrooms, change WC and basin and new floor and wall tilings.
Ans:WC and basin owner buy. Tile upah cost is :

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.

Mmm, can you do for me then?

please help me dp some calculation for kitchen extention.
Original plan is 8ft Wx10ft L. now wish to extend another 8ft W x 20ft L.
The extended area will need tiles too since it's grass land.
And the original 8ft wall needs to be hacked.

A double storey Semi- D needs to estimate berapa kos to do alarm?

hi bro,

for 8x20 ft, you need reno cost of RM20K complete with tile but normal tile lah. If you buy tile yourself the price would be different aorund RM18,500 to Rm18K.

TQ
