did considered flat roof, but considering the amount of things that could go wrong with the concrete, i would pass.
also considered a parapet wall, with metal decking to cover. but considering that it'll only welcome fungus growth, also avoided.

anyway i didn't get the seaside land.
there's an entrance there, family entrance. the space is the walkway.
how did you arrive at that estimation? another couple of hundred thousand just for interior design is a bit too much don't you think?
if it's an agricultural land, you're entitled to 1 building per each land title. so don't have to change the land type if you're thinking of building.

otherwise you need to change the type to residential or development. changing agricultural type to residential do take time and you need written consent from your local council. they have specific rules on what type of land that cannot be changed so be wary.

Forgot totally that agri land can build a house inside
Too bad Seremban most of the agri land are for bumi only
No need to engage ID since it will bring up your overall building cost by 100-200% for the same work if you design your self.
Since you have plenty of space, built in ceiling height cabinets are not a must compare to terrace house.
Always put practicality, ergonomics in mind.
Air cond compressor mounting you can make concrete table for it, look more neat

Thanks for the info, in short we can build one building in a piece of land say (1 acre size) in any type of land other than resi land where you can build more, does it constrain on the height (eg not more than 3 story) or the size of that one building.

Agree on this, huge difference in $$$ when im doing my DS house 6 years ago.

I will just build single storey with that size of land. Then plant tree around to cover the building

Something like this ...

found the floorplan to the 3D which i've submitted for quotation.


correction it's not 2400 sqft. total interior space is 3143 sqft.
RM260k, which translate to ~RM83 psft.

deck and porch at half of the interior price. total build price not breaching RM300k.
5 bedroom, 1 ht room.
separated wet & dry kitchen.
2 family area at ground floor & 2nd floor.
6 bathroom
indoor store room
separated guest area & dining area

hard to believe?
believe it.

rm83/sqft is do-able based on the plan shown and with basic finishing. I completed my house last year and it cost me around rm130/sqft. but my house is much bigger at 6000sqft and with slightly better finishing. The amount of concrete used also quite a lot since part of my roof is concrete roof.
For this to be possible, you cannot engage a contractor; you need to hire the indon workers yourself and be the project manager - manage everything yourself. One important thing is to get a good "chief indon" worker - who can help you manage the other workers. Other than that you will get a bit of headache every now and then ... after then you house will be ready! not impossible at all.

What are the cons and pros if having a property on agriculture land vs residential land?

What kind of paper work/authorities do I have to approach in order to build a house in agriculture/residential land?

Thx. Hehe I can't wait to see ur dream house coming true.

there's quite a number of arrangement that we could make to integrate the view, wind direction and sunshine.
the only thing that have to be fixed is the car porch which should be facing the entrance.
office. as land code is different from state to state. then check with your local council because they're the one you're gonna be submitting the plans to.

It seems like the wind are directed to the walls. Have you considered positioning the house in a way where the wind directly flows into the living room/open deck, through the house for an unobstructed open ventilation? Most traditional kampung houses are designed in this way, which is why it's always feel more cooling in kampung house.
