MASTER BEDROOM, walk in closet and washroom

1) masterbedroom door relocated because we used up the smallest room to be the walk in closet
2) tiles all changed and replaced
3) reconstruct a wall in between the walkway to make smaller room into a walk in closet
4) everything in washroom changed as well.
5) wiring and plaster ceiling
6) given 2 choices for the walk in, U shape or L shape, decided to take the U shape since price does not vary that much.






Well there's always a budget so initially he opted Grade A Tiles, but we downgraded to Grade B, in the end he asked us go to his supplier to choose tiles, my wife and i took all the grade A tiles ...

There's a lot we didn't know, but overall he's giving us opinions in which we decided to follow suit as he should understand it better than us.

Didn't know he's going to change the piping for us for all the washrooms and kitchen, until recently.

Lighting and AC piping concealing all done by him, including all the cabinets, no 3rd party involved.

Garden is going to have an awning and ground to be flatten and we gonna plant it with Taiwanese grass.

That's all for the moment.

Next gonna snap some current pics

All in quoted Rm70k, we overshot the budget as didn't take in water filter, termite treatment and walk in wardrobe.

Will try to get more pics by end of today.

nopes, overshot by around RM11k, F&F alrdy separated budget

75k includes

- raw material (tiles, sink, washroom pipings, AC pipings, wirings for whole house)
- labour
- kitchen cabinet & walk in wardrobe
- painting
- awning

the rest of the furniture and fittings are mine

- Electrical appliances

that's about it.

my contractor pretty straightfoward, once quoted will do accordingly unless you need adjustment on the initial quote, but if he can do, he will just do it, his way of doing ...

Hard labour (wall hacking, floor breaking etc etc) - done by Indonesians

Tiling - done by chinese guy

Painting - done by chinese guy

Wiring - done by chinese guy

AC piping (copper and piping concealed) - done by another AC specialist contractor also all chinese

So i guess labour charges are not that cheap ...

i think it's quite reasonable, coz i only gave him 1.75 months to complete, my bad my bad

we have another budget for F&F so balance a bit here n there lor.

cannot bro .. getting married in early DEC ...

Let me know your price including installation for UF3000 & BIO PLUS ENERGY and ALKALINE SYSTEM

thanks ...

My soon to be Garden

really man, all these are included in the quotation alrdy, nothing more ... that's why i didn't think much and straight engage him.

another quote came back around 60k plus without tiles and wiring ...

well well, tiring if u ask me hahahaha money is always the problem

that's why i look no further when i saw the free hand drawing ... he knows his stuff

hahaha too late, but i didn't asked around anyways, meet him once then quote @ site, no need to think twice ...

but sometimes is like that ... they charged accordingly that's why project non stop coming in.

just say the the house he doing in villa oug gave the contact.

i had this doubt earlier on, before the table top was casted, i saw a few empty small slots in between the tiles, later on only i realised it's for the table top as they insert iron beam into the empty slots and make it hold the foundation, therefore it will look more tidy as the wall tiles alrdy been laid initially and the amount of tiles are balanced off, iirc i think the iron beam itself is at least 15mm thick. there's also another 2 block of concrete drying off in the living room as well as and i think it's for the support of the table top as well.

yeah good combination, we didn't really pair ourselves, went to tile shop they alrdy have set combos hanging by the frame, just scroll and choose ... so easy

ALMOST DONE .... ALMOST

why ? what happened ?

don't worry man, havent finish won't know ... without painting also look freaking ugly

in Taman Yarl, individual title out just recently.

thanks ... almost done then i will post some pics ... mine is ground floor with a tiny garden ...

yupe, by right we also can't do that but we did it in a quick manner, demolish then rebuilt ... but overall doesnt affect safety of the building

yupes thanks for the prompt installation, just a minor hiccup from the piping, the plumber need to come and alter a bit then it shld be fine ... the pool is the only plus point that place got ...
