TS already stated that 2 houses have already been completed, and these 2 houses were his friends'. If it was that terrible, his friend wouldn't have recommended to him.

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.

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. smile.gif

I'm wondering who else did you hire to build your house...like planner, M&E consultant, etc. What kind of paper work is require at certain stages of the house building, paper work for authorities etc?

How's your tiles durable test going?

Nice work!

Maybe "lumens per watt" might be a better measurement of efficiency? The usual ones are around 65 lpw, good ones are approaching or exceed 100 lpw.

I'm an electrical engineer too, hehe if you don't mind me been nosey and offering my opinion.

Hope we can exchange ideas.

I think you would save much more, by investing time and effort into ventilation design. Just my small opinion.

I think RM32 psft is a good price. I've searched around in Selangor area, asking for ridiculous RM100++ psft...

Includes finishes, flooring, etc?
Rm 32 psf is bare basic only. If yours include finishes, price looks right to me.

these. i got these for RM120 a piece (shipped)(lorried).
all 38 of them for RM4.6k, shipped (lorried) to the site.

as per agreement, the contractor will now bear the cost for the boring, and pile pressing at the site.
all 38 of them. :D

feeling sorry for him. i have no idea how he's going to put all of them into the ground. not my problem tho. it's all in the agreement.

How much would cost just to pile in the pillars? Including/excluding pilar cost?
