nice reno....

where's the location of the house?

how much does the reno cost you?

very nice place you have there!

how big is that how?

not planning to change the gates?

At Shah Alam.
Total reno cost about RM42k, paints, tiles buy our own.
For kitchen cabinet, master room wardrobe and TV console total cost RM14k.
Means total up RM42k + RM14k = RM56k

Land area intermediate 18 x 65, build up area 1506 square feet.

After reno, no more budget at the moment, Amour cable and wiring already ready for main gate.
Future plan is to change main gate, awning & temper glass for bacoly.

hah

same trouble here

is looking for 16ft aluminium autogate

everyone quote me price near 10K

no money to do it, will just stick with the lousy gate for now

how much has you spend then?

add on, 42K include the extension is quite cheap ler...


This post has been edited by loui: Feb 6 2015, 11:10 AM

You request fully aluminium? Or partly?
I can share auto gate contact if you interested.
Yup, 42k, kitchen extension including wiring, plaster ceiling. Will share more after this.

Can can

so far the cheapest I got is about 4K for a mild steel 16 x 5 gate w/o the autogate

might get the gate 1st and the autogate machine later

thanks

Nice reno and the price looks to be cheap! Can you post the breakdown please?

i.e. price of TV console alone, kitchen cabinet alone, plaster ceiling and etc.

Thanks!

Nice work!! Price is more affordable compared to what I have seen. Appreciate price breakdown too!!

Noted that you extend the back part right to the edge. Any regulation that prohibits you to extend out so far? May I know what is the backlane width?

value reno...good thread.

Wah so nice and yes seem very cheap.

Price breakdown please if you dont mind.

House originally from developer already like that, means you will have a L sharp at the end of right side.

Will share more details afterward.

You can look for Elegance, last time I was quote RM230 per foot for mild steel partly with aluminium including galvanize, means for your case will be RM230x16 = RM3680.

Refer to my first post

Nice renovation! Thanks for sharing. Mind to share your contractor?

18' wide can only park single car lot right...

Nice work... Who is you kitchen cabinet contractor?

Kitchen cabinet, TV console and wardrobe all from Welco, if your interested, can provide you the contact.

Contractor I took purely Indonesian, boss and worker all Indon. If your ok with this, I can recommend him to your.

Can park 2 car inside. no issue.

can share with me your contractor contact? they did your plaster ceiling also?

also can you share where you put your washing machines... i have almost same layout with yours... planning to move cooking stove to backyard but no idea where to fit my washing machine. getting my key soon.

cooking area is very restricted i believe. you'll definitely end up having a table there. suggest install the flip up wall table/rack at the side. would be easier to place things while cooking.

Hi,


Nice renovation. I just got the keys to my house and right now looking for a general contractor. Do you mind sharing the contractor? Tq

Will share the Indon contact shortly, but came to know he is not in M'sia at the moment due to his mother pass away.
Here is the photo where I put my Electrolux washer.

U did a great job. Nice renovation

nice reno u've got there!

btw how much did u buy your house.. and which area is it in shah alam?

impressive, well done!

Great job at least TS know what he want

the window is from your downstairs room? mine is a little different coz my downstairs room is extended all the way to the back. its ok i may only start reno in april.

Bought at RM335k, at Seksyen 33.

Thanks bro, from the time start looking for contractor, hunting for sink, light, security door, dining table, what colour of paint for each room, what tiles needed for dry & wet kitchen, cabinet etc etc.... really want to faint. Luckily the result look promising.

This post has been edited by Galaxy Angel: Feb 9 2015, 12:10 AM

Yup, window is from guest room down stair.

I use my extended area 5FT as wet kitchen, didn't hack the original wall so I can separate wet & dry kitchen, after build, effective area for wet kitchen will become only 4FT as pillar, brick, tile & cement already took 1FT.

Mind to share, u bought how much for ur house?
Can pm me

Becoz I'm in JB so I dunno in kl markets

Bro. Want to ask...how much did you pay for the MBSA permit ?

nice...

I done for myself at Wisma MBSA, very fast approval, within 1 hour as soon as the documents you bring complete. Will share more once I go back home.

Total paid for MBSA was RM 2544, including RM 1000 deposit for Alam Flora Tong RORO, RM500 deposit for process plan and RM 200 for deposit to put construction materials.
After complete renovation, can get back RM 1200, can't get back the RM500 as my extended kitchen was slab instead of roof.
Means total paid for permit was RM 1344.

Is all work (except cabinet) done by the same contractor? Mind to share the contact?

Tq bro. Did you need to submit engineering drawing ?

Will share once he is back from Indonesia.

No need, since I only extend 1 story for kitchen.

Nice reno.

This is subsale house right? Can u share floorplan before n after reno?

Thanks

nice job on ur new house reno
it looks great and awesome
most of ur reno work are quite cheap
can see that u do ur own research and homework in ur reno work

New house.

In deep, started to do survey 1.5 years ago before renovation start. Just kitchen cabinet contractor alone, already compared about 10 contractors... Finally choose Welco.
Other such as pro-seduce to apply MBSA permit, where to get the tiles, paints, LED lighting, what brand of security door, ceiling fan, dining table, grill, mosquito net, fridge, washer, basin, kitchen sink, water filter, hoob, gas hob and etc etc.....

giv u a like bro
i am doing research too , new house getting key in mid 2015
now i onli know there is a lot of thing to do , comparing , sourcing and many more
now most of my weekend i spend my time in hardware , eletronic store , contractor workplace
wanna fainted oredi
btw saw u r using rinai hob and hood , i plan to buy a rinnai promotion package that end on this month
do u start using them?
if i not wrong ur hob is RB-2MYG with 5.3kw flame rite?
how does the hob and hood perform? beyond expectation?

Me either, that time when sourcing for the renovation stuff, been to almost every fair/expo/homedec.

Yup, using gas hob RB-2MYG with RH-9023A hood, total RM2270, that is the BEST price I can get after surveying.

Currently staying alone, didn't use it for cooking, can't comment how is the performance. Will share more afterward.

Not concern with developer warranty?

There is a 18 or 20 months (can't remember which 1) warranty from developer if there is any defects from the house.
Already ask developer to fix all the defects before start renovation.

Hi, Mind sharing what wood is that? is it custom made or?

Ur package is really cheap ,
package deal is around 3k n the electronic shop offer to u 2.2k
Too bad I stay in johor area ,i source many place oredi
Hob same as ur model meanwhile hood I choose RH-C779-SB with 1000m3 suction power
The best deal I get rm2.5k
Cheaper than catalogue 200++
They even told me after new year ,the price is going to increase coz of the GST
Zzzzz...

Solid wood from Ikea, look for Norbo RM159.

Sad to hear that, I knew the package deal that you mentioned, something like mix and match.... got free plate or source pan depend which package you choose.
Else can introduce you to my friend, he is selling this. Only the gas hob RB-2MYG he sell for RM790.

Ya bro
The hob I been quoted rm1k in jb area
The price different so much between kl and jb
Too sad I stay in southern region , if not can ask u recommend to ur fren shop

Bro, try to survey around, if you are not rush, I believe can get more cheaper that the price they offer you now.

Yea bro
I previously alias with rinnai southern region person incharge with email
He does gave me all the shop that carries rinnai product
Most of the shop I went through to have their price yet the price still exp than KL . So far I manage to get the cheapest package and I going to take from them before the promotion date run out

Ok, since no more discount, bargain with them to get exhaust cap, cos it is not included. Also, need to consider how much the fee for hood installation?

You did a good job and really deserve a like !
