what do you mean, can we do it earlier? you mean paying to ecohill or reno after completion?
Reno definitely need a lot money.

Kitchen = 30k
Living room 15k
Bathroom = 5-10k?
Solar water heater = 12k
Furnitures, build in cabinet = 15-20k?
Flooring = 20-30k

What else do I missed?

yeah, i calculate also around that...
Did your friend said that 150-200k includes ID fees?

ur cable really tua kong... 

I am saying the centralised shower. This is not easy once completed. Cuz need to hack the walls to conceal the wires back.
In fact, anything to do with concealment, i prefer to have it ready even if it is at cost. But for a semi d - centralised shower is now standard.

Quite pricey wo. I reno my corner lot inside out also didnt cost so much but back in 2010. 30% higher also is only going to be close to 200k.
I even used granite for my dining and kitchen cabinet, 8ftx2ft table top and one single piece of 4ftx9ft for dining.
I budget:
Furniture: RM20k
Living: RM20k
Kitchen: RM20k
Garden: RM5k
Others: RM25k

Total: RM100k should be able to kao tim when you know where to source the materials.

One example, you can go to Guocera in PJ, tell them you want to renovate kitchen, and need tiles, they will ask for dimension and draw plan with your shortlisted tiles.
They only charge rm200 for the plan if you dont buy tiles from them. I take the tiles spec and design to Jalan Ipoh which can offer same Guocera tiles 40% cheaper (Grade 1) and they calculate how much tiles i need + some allowance. Give the design to my own contractor - gao tim one section of the house.

My contractor can do tiling, plaster ceiling and reconstruction (piling, extension, modification) so, 1 contractor fee gao tim whole house, surely cheaper than 1 contractor for 1 section.
Similarly, my furniture guy can do ID and cabinet for entire house, so, save alot of cost on ID fees.

can i join the discussion please cheryee leng lui jie jie?

Lols, this is public forum, anyone can join ler, if not me and cheryee would be talking in PM.
Anyways, this allows healthy discussion, i learned alot through this forum prior to launch through senior forumers like cheryee.
Hope it continues for us to widen our knowledge and pick up some prop investment tips accordingly.

For a semi-d or cluster house, the curtains will be among the killers.

2 years later economy will be very bad so everything will drop ... please minus -25% from projected renovation cost.

if that time u desperate mau release u can find me ..haha

Siapa nak percaya..... kakak cheryee

Saya adik AMINT boleh? Hehe

Anyone got their loan approved? Can share the rate and package?

Sherlyn is fast, yesterday already pre approve my loan - but i didnt get 90% so trying elsewhere.

Cheryee mui mui, so nice leh. Full or semi flexi ar?

SemiD memang can get higher rate loh.. DSL best rate only -2.40% only...   

I dah applied many banks, so far only Alliance reply..  

This morning went to show house want to take some pictures before they demolish it, but the guard say got Astro film shooting in Angusta show units for CNY programme, only can go in after 10am.. 

Any idea phase 2 will be launching around when?

wah, ya kah? Ah beng show ar? 

wah, then lam tuck weng got potential to become the spokeperson for Setia Ecohill ya...   

DSR lo, RHB cap on variable income like bonus. So, total income calc. is lower than other banks, hence, DSR high, they cap the loan to a certain amount.
   

2 DSL vs 1 SemiD, price about the same. Which one can goreng more?
