Hello there. βΊοΈThis is my first time to renovate and extend my first house in Setia Alam, Shah Alam. Bought a 3storeys corner lot. Planned to extend 16feet to the side and 5feet to the back from kitchen. Extension only for ground floor and 1st floor. Received itemised billing and quotation of Rm699k from the contractor that makes me wanna hung myself! Haha π Mind to look at this quotation and let me know the market price so i can negotiate with the contractor? My budget around Rm400-500k max only.

One time done, the contractor can retire already.
Don't be lazy, go get at least 3 quotes.

I really didnt understand it. Thx

Do take note sometime you see people offering you contacts (in forum) you also have to be careful. No doubt some are genuine. You have to get as many quote as possible, along the way you learn too. I have lost touch of the pricing since I complete my reno in 2011, but i doubt the price increase till 700k. This post has been edited by weikee: Apr 29 2015, 11:56 PM

at that price no need to renovate. if u really have that kind of cash, better buy new bungalow.
seems to me u about to be ripped off. Next time bring along someone who has experience and try not to be so naive if u are alone. Pretend be more knowledgeable when negotiate by doing research on price on raw material, use ur own raw material supplier of choice (soz some contractor's supplier jack up price and divide profit among them)

One of the neighbour corner lot 3storey also renovate and he said cost him at 1mil. But he do masssssive renovation inside out. And my friend renovate at 650k for only small extension (bungalow shah alam). That's why i thot maybe renovation cost today is THAT expensive. Anyways, yes i will keep ask around and get more quotation. Thanks!!! ππππ

See how fake he is.

From the pricing, his tiling is not expensive (if the tiles supplied by him)
His Gate is RM 750 per foot run, can be more expensive too, depend the design and material use. If you use uniGate is even more expensive. He quoted you 17.5ft gate and you need 2 units? From the look of the quote, your house are consider big.
His Aluminium sliding look reasonable if he is using the thick quality material.
His wet work need some break down, judging form the gate you required, it maybe large area construction.
