Hi to all sifu's out there

I just got my home and plan to renovate

For my budgeting purpose may i know how much would it cost to

1) break old tiles and lay new tiles perhaps 1x2 ft or 2x2 ft for a space of 1200 sqft

2) Completely re-do both my toilets with new tiles, new toilets bowls, shower screen, sinks etc. Currently both are split i.e. toilet and shower are in two separate room side by side with a small area between them. Would like break and combine the toilet in master bedroom into one and the below one to remain as is but change the entire interior with new furnishing

3) building concrete table tops in kitchen say L shape about 6 feet width and 10 feet length. Perhaps also a concrete table top in the kitchen about 3x6 feet. The mentioned above is to be fully tiled

4) any idea how much would it cost for me to grind and polish my existing wooden flooring which include the stairs and also top floor room. Total area will be circa 700sqft

5) To build a wall between kitchen and dining area somewhat a divider - a suggestion would be appreciated about 8ft length up to the room which is about 10-12 ft high

Your input is truly appreciated

hi bro,

below is my calculation and quotation with the spec i given below, first of all i suppose you did typo mistake "No roof tile"...smile.gif...

spec : (since you want cheap and reliable for your house rental but i do no compromise on foundation,wiring and plumbing (foundation,wiring and wiring is according to JKR spec))

1. Sand brick
2. Plywood door
3. Normal window (not powder coated)
4. normal roof tile (Monier)
5. normal ceilling.
6. Normal tile (about RM2 ++ per piece)
etc

Estimated : RM50K
good luck bro...

hi bro,

we must not compromise on safety for wiring....you better think to redo your wiring...water heater is very dangerous...since you got electric and water....these two factor is killer factor when combine.......many case is paper died while bathing........

hi bro,

for your case estimated cost kitchen extension RM9K (with normal tile excluded grill and kitchen cabinet). For hacking wall cost RM200 aje...if i were the contractor masuk sekali price in the reno..smile.gif...

for me since i want to stay long in the house better use red brick...from my experience..red brick is stronger and cooler. Sand brick absorbed heat and sandr brick after 5 year you will see crack on the wall....

good luck bro
