is it cheap or just a clueless act to build just 180sqf for 2nd floor? I think I just wanna hire indon labour to avoid expensive cost from engineer. Indon laour is enough and I will not tell local authority ma because I am in G&G residential and it's only 180sqf without roof for 2nd storey

should I build 2nd storey for my house? to build 2nd storey is expensive 2x cost of the 1st floor? how can I renovate my house with cheapest rate? I still have 180sqf free at the back of my house(for bedroom and kitchen) and plan to have 2nd storey too for dry the clothes. should I build 2nd storey?

2nd storey overrated?

why suppliers have more profit than the producers? producers only 20% net margin whereas suppliers can profit 30%

it's not advisable to do it without getting endorsement from engineer and approval from local authority. even u can over design it to ensure it's perfectly secure, sometimes unforeseen thing will just happen. if something happen and even not due to ur fault, not due to ur structural design issue, they will still pin point at u as u didn't get endorsement for the work and no approval from local authority at first place. so u lose the case b4 even it require to assess ur secured design.

anyway it ain't expensive also la. all those material is cheap. maybe u estimate about RM125/sqft for ur work. normal finishes, not expensive type. but endorsement and local authority expenses would be a lot as ur quantity is small yet the same procedure had to be go through.

there are no local council in malaysia that allow you to top up another floor of building structure on existing floor unless you demolish and rebuilt.

rm 125/sqft. means I need to spend rm 50k. not cheap too.
